Two Knows…

37 times…a favorite word of John’sKnow by information:

know about something

Christians know something

Assurance: that you may know that you have eternal

life 5:13You have known him from the beginning 2:13

Two Knows…Knowledge from experience

Light bulb came on & is burning bright

Too Uncertain yet desires to be certain

How could you possibly know…really know?

How can I presume to know God?

“I know whom I have believed….”2 Tim. 2:12John: “we know, we know, we

know”

Two things you know

You know the Lord Jesus

You know you are in Him

No longer will a man teach his neighbor,

or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’

because they will all know me, from the least of them to the

greatest.

Two extremes when you seek to know

Emphasis on Mind

Emphasis on Emotions

The spiritual is how you conduct your life, not how you

conduct a miracle or a Bible study.

Spiritual is gentleness with your spouse, not having a spirit-filled moment or a

regular quiet time. Spiritual is obeying God’s

commandments not receiving visions

or being asked to teach a class.
