Many Christians confuse "knowing things about God" in place of "knowing God". We know creeds, theology, facts, scripture and a lot of other details about God. We follow teachings but we are called to follow Christ. We are called to walk with God and know God.
This is one of the hardest and easiest things to do. How is that for a confusing statement. The reason it is the hardest thing to do, is because we make it so. Religion has placed all kinds of burdens on us which in turn places guilt, and sets us up to fail. What if God had already made the way simple? What if there was nothing we had to do? What if God had already done the hard work? Wait God did, through Jesus and has offered us this Grace which is our salvation not based on our works least we should boast.
Jesus simply says, "Come to me Lay all your burdens down, find rest and comfort in me." (paraphrased). Simply get into the "Secret Place" ( the place of stillness, of spirit...see last two post) there you will not only find God but you will get to know God as well.
Nothing wrong with beliefs, but they are of the mind....God dwells and reveals God's self in the heart. A person who submits mind and heart to God is able to live abundant life of Joy Unspeakable and full of glory!
