McManus Notes on "Passages"
Passages: Phillipians 3:3-11 and more
@ 35:02 mark
Speaking from The Book of Hosea
"The great danger is to spend your life learning about God, rather than knowing God"
note: there is a difference in the word know, we can (1) Know God Intellectually and we can (2) Know God Intimately
We must get to know God Intimately!
35... min mark:
Once you come intimate with God and you go from knowledge to knowing, you become a funnel of learning, of development and growth, then life itself can become a context of which you can grow!
McManus Reversal
God sent His Son into human history, not so that we could know that He exist, but so that we could not exist without knowing Him!
challenge questions: do you know Him, Is Jesus at the core of your being, is it impossible for you to live t/o the day without the reality of His presence. You were created by God to live in communion with Him, with every breath of your life, He longs to be the every present reality. Jesus came and died for us so that we would not have to spend one second apart from God!
When I get to know Jesus, His power changes me from the inside out...the mind of God becomes my mind, the heart of God becomes my heart, the light of God becomes my light, the life of God becomes my life!
