Comments on: What Does It Mean to Know God? Is Knowing About God the Same Thing as Knowing God? https://lisanotes.com/what-does-it-mean-to-know-god/ on Life and Love Tue, 18 May 2021 18:33:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: LisaNotes https://lisanotes.com/what-does-it-mean-to-know-god/#comment-326920 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 12:54:39 +0000 https://www.lisanotes.com/?p=7182#comment-326920 In reply to Jean Wise.

Yes, “one piece at a time at just the right time” is a beautiful way to look at it. I can sometimes get impatient with God when he reveals things slowly, but I should be grateful for the protection of his pace.

Reminded me of all the layers in an onion. God slowly reveals more and more about him as we spend time with him. One piece at a time at just the right time. Isn’t that amazing?

My father used to say, “Call on Somebody you know,” and I think that is what he meant, in the way that Packer does. Of course, there is a time, too, as God draws us to Himself when we cry out to the One we don’t know in order to be able to know Him. So glad you shared. I love all you write!

I read it last year after I learned of Packer’s death, and I am already in need of a review.

Beautiful an profound post. This line really jumped out as truth: “Until we actually do life with God, it’s all theory.” I’m living proof of that. Until the “rubber met the road” in my life, I didn’t really KNOW God — mine was all head knowledge. So thankful He kept pursuing and it developed into a beautiful relationship.
Blessings,
Bev xx

So good! We know about the president, but we (probably) will not develop a personal relationship with him. Knowing God is different He wants a personal relationship with each one of us. We do need to be involved and willing to devote time to the relationship, just like any other relationship we cultivate. Thank you for sharing this book with us.

It grabbed my heartstrings when you spoke of knowing we are loved by God. That is the ultimate game-changer in my book. My greatest prayer for this generation of adults is that they will come to know that to their deepest cores. I’ve seen the damage not having that intimate knowledge can have. Thanks and blessings for sharing this powerful word!
