    To know God means more than just intellectual knowledge or awareness. It involves perceiving, understanding, believing, conforming to, obeying and experiencing God. The Hebrew word for know, "yada", encompasses perceiving, understanding and living according to God. Similarly, the Greek words for know in the New Testament, "oida" and "ginosko", mean believing, accepting and having faith in Jesus, which allows us to truly know God. God wants us to know him personally through seeing and experiencing him in our lives.

    TO KNOW GOD

    "This is Eternal Life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." - John 17:3 "So that you may know and believe Me (God), and understand that I am He." - Isaiah 43:10 Teach me your ways, so that I may know you and continue to find favor with you. - Exodus 33:13

    OLD TESTAMENT
    The Hebrew word "yada" is used in the Old Testament and is translated in English as the word "Know" or "Knowledge". The Hebrew word yada has a much wider sweep and meaning than the English word know. The Biblical Old Testament word for Knowing God means the following; TO KNOW GOD means: - to Perceive - to Understand - to Believe - to Conform - to Perform or Live - to See or Experience - to Learn - to Recognize - to Accept His Claims - to Be Willing - to Obey

    These words that all come out of the Hebrew word "yada" all hold important keys to getting to know God the way that He wants us to know Him. The opposite of knowing God is not ignorance or a lack of knowledge, but is Rebellion.

    NEW TESTAMENT
    The Greek words "oida" and "ginosko" are used in the New Testament. They have the wider meanings as the Hebrew word "yada", but in the context that they are used in the New Testament, they also have the following additional meaning: to KNOW GOD means: - to Believe & Accept Jesus - to Know Jesus is to Know God - to Know Truth - to Respond in Faith

    "O, the fullness, the pleasure, the sheer excitement of knowing God on earth. - Jim Elliott

    GOD WANTS US TO KNOW HIM IN PERSONAL AND REAL WAYS, FROM HAVING SEEN AND EXPERIENCED HIM IN & AROUND OUR LIVES
