But the type of "knowing" described in these verses is not a mere intellectual pursuit, but an experiential knowledge -- more comparable to knowing someone you've lived with for years than knowing about a historical figure from reading a history or biography.

After Hannah is blessed with the birth of Samuel, she dedicates him and then offers a prayer of thanksgiving to God. She rejoices over his deliverance, rests in his control, trusts in his knowledge of her situation, and hopes in God’s plan. We are encouraged to do all those things as well, but the focus of the passage is the “anointed one,” Jesus Christ.

Colossians 1:9-14
Colossians 1:9-14 Holiness in the life of a Christian means 'walking in a manner worthy of the Lord." This occurs through the gospel. By grace, we understand the gospel and as we do so we bear fruit and increase in our knowledge of God. Therefore, to the extent that we understand the gospel will be to the extent that we walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.

The Bluff of Knowledge
Not all of us bluff with our hands as we discussed on July 13th. Many of us gain a false sense of assurance in our relationship with God with knowledge about Him and the Bible. Listen to this sermon, and be challenged with the question, "Do I really love God and His Word?"
