The Privilege of Knowing God

The Privilege of Knowing God
Dr. Charles Stanley
Psalm 19:1-6

There is no greater privilege than knowing God—and no greater tragedy than failing to develop a relationship with Him. Yet many people live their whole life apart from Jesus, and, therefore, when they die, they are separated from Him eternally.

While on earth, both the righteous and unrighteous enjoy benefits of divine blessing (Matt. 5:45), so those who choose to live without Christ probably have no clue how dreadful a godless eternity will be. Some people seem to ignore the Bible's warnings about "outer darkness," "weeping," and "gnashing of teeth" (Matt. 8:12; 22:13; 25:30; Luke 13:28). Or is it possible they've simply never heard the good news of salvation?

Romans 1:18-20 answers that: Creation offers so much evidence of God that man is held accountable for unbelief. Consider nature's design, beauty, and order—these things don't just evolve.

What's more, God reveals Himself in the human conscience (2:14-15). Even societies with no access to Scripture forbid ungodly behaviors like rape, murder, and theft.

In addition, we have God's revelation of Himself through both His Word and the incarnation of Jesus (John 14:7-9). Christ, who was fully God, became fully man. And His life perfectly demonstrates the heavenly Father's character and heart.

Can you recognize evidence of the Almighty in creation and in the "law" written on your conscience?

Do you seek to know Him better through His Word and the example of Christ?

The Lord desires a relationship with you and is calling.

Answer with a seeking heart, and watch for God to "show up."
