Two sources for studying, learning about God–
– – What man says about God.
– – What God says about God.
– – –
Well, that alone should provide sufficient food for thought, and direction, for study of God.
What God says must always have priority over what man says.
I might add a third source for learning about God, for those Christians wanting a closer walk with Jesus more than anything else—more than just knowledge from studying about God.
We learn more about Jesus every day as we spend time with Him.
“Pray without ceasing” becomes a way of life, “life more abundant”.
We are Born Again
and
We study to Grow In Knowledge
and
We Grow in Grace—The Love of God

The Bible says, “You must be born again.”—–Jesus said that.
The Bible says, “Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of God.”

A relationship with Jesus is the center of Christianity, that sets it apart from all ‘religions’.
Our relationship with Jesus is the center of every Christian’s life, every day.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will eat and drink and talk with him.”—–Jesus
That is truly blessed fellowship.
It starts by hearing the voice of Jesus, and inviting Him in, to share everything.
And it grows—His love grows sweeter and sweeter.
“He gets sweeter and sweeter as the days go by,
Oh, what a love between my Lord and I…
I just keep falling in love with Him over
and over, and over and over again.”

And then, there’s even more to that relationship—that sets it apart from ‘nominal’ Christianity.
The Bible says, “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.”—–Paul wanted to get just that close to Jesus.
Living for Jesus—Living with Jesus—goes way beyond theology.
