THE REVELATION AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD The heart of evangelization. |

| Introduction - Of all the relationships that a person forms in his lifetime, none is more important than the one he has with God. For most people, the idea that someone could actually have a personal relationship with God is a foreign concept. But today we will consider from scripture not only the real possibility of it, but the absolute necessity of it. Until a person comes to this point in life he can never truly know the purpose of his existence and will remain in danger of perishing forever. Our mission to spread the Gospel is nothing less than revealing the One True God to ordinary people. When they come to know him by faith, heaven records permanently the blessed event written with Gods own hand. We will look at three biblical aspects of knowing God. |
