Know God, abide in Him—these simple words indicate the heart’s cry of most sincere followers of Christ. We yearn to be people after God’s own heart, to be not only the people of the Book but the people who are immersed in the Book. We want to be His true children who are reflections of His light and love.

We understand that in Him, in His Word are the true treasures of not only time but of eternity. In Romans 11:33, Paul states this truth very clearly, “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable are His judgments! His ways are past finding out.”

The great apostle, the one from whose pen so much of the New Testament flows, recognized the enormity of the treasure we have in Christ Jesus our Lord. Paul knew the depth of understanding was beyond our own insight. Paul knew we could never truly know God except through His revelation of Himself.

Jesus knew this also, so we were given the Holy Spirit to teach us from His inexhaustible fountain of knowledge. Because we have the Holy Spirit of Christ the Lord indwelling us, we may not only search for but we may understand the fullness of God! Through His tutelage, we know His ways by His own instruction!
