New Series: That They May Know Him
“More Than Belief”
📖 “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
—John 17:3 (NKJV)
Do you know God—or do you just believe He exists?
There’s a big difference.
Knowing about someone doesn’t mean you know them. You can know facts about your favorite actor, athlete, or influencer and still not have a relationship with them. It’s the same with God.
Jesus said eternal life isn’t just about going to heaven when you die. It’s about knowing God now. Deeply. Personally. Truthfully.
But here’s the hard truth: culture has created a version of “God” that’s vague and powerless. Even some churches have traded the Biblical Christ for a softer, safer version. That’s not who Jesus revealed.
To know God, you have to go to the Source—His Word. You have to let the Holy Spirit change how you see, think, and live. That’s how real faith becomes a real relationship.
Challenge:
Where do you get most of your ideas about God—from social media, culture, or Scripture?
Prayer:
God, I don’t want to settle for secondhand faith. I want to know You for real. Teach me who You are. Let my relationship with You be more than a label—make it life. Amen.
