Grace for your spirit August 25, 2009

Grace for your spirit

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. John 17:3

Most people go to the Bible to find facts. They look for commands about what is right and wrong, ways to please Him, and find eternal life. While that goal is wonderful, there are larger reasons to search His Word. God wants us to know Him, and to know Jesus the Christ. The Apostle Paul found joy and complete satisfaction in knowing Christ as Lord. To know the power of His resurrection, the fellowship of His sufferings and His death burial and resurrection, was his goal, and it should be ours too. When we know God, He provides us with a framework for right living. The more we know God, the less we will need to look for His rules. We will please Him, and spend eternity with Him.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
