Things you should know about the knowledge of God

1. It doesn’t matter who and what you don’t know, if you know God you know so much. It doesn’t matter who and what you don’t know, if you don’t know God, you don’t know anything
2. The one who knows God is at a higher level of living than the one who knows people.
3. The struggle to genuinely know God is the end of every other struggle of life.
4. The knowledge of God is inexhaustible; the more we know him, the more we realize we don’t know him. The man who is proud of his knowledge of God does not really know God.
5. The knowledge of God is in degrees, we do not all know God to the same degree.
6. The degree of God we know determines the degree of his glory that we reflect.
7. The knowledge of God may initially bring you rejection from men but it will eventually bring you distinction from God. Those who know God are known by God and cannot be unknown on the earth.
