Do you know Him?

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Paul had a desire to know Him, and that is understandable. He thought he knew his God, but when God met him, he had to ask the question; who are you Jehovah? He did not recognize his own God. The answer came back, I am Jesus, the one you persecute, and he was shocked. He was persecuting his own God. What lesson can we learn from this?

If you don’t know your God, you can end up persecuting Him. You may ask how? Jesus is the Way the TRUTH and the Life. Truth is not a doctrine or a dogma, but first and foremost a Person. When you are persecuting truth, you are persecuting your God. So what should we do? We should pray with earnesty like Paul, that I might KNOW Him. Reveal Yourself to me God. I have a desire to know you. Gemaliel gave a warning to those persecuting the Apostles. Be careful so you don’t find yourself opposing God.

Do you know Him? That is a question you must ask yourself before attacking and persecuting truth. You may be surprised when He reveals Himself to you. Gøran ANdreassen
