We’ve been building toward this all week. It’s the namesake of the series, but it is also the natural outcome of what it means to know God. 

We have seen that we are not simply thinking minds, but embodied, relational creatures. And we have seen that knowing God is not just a matter of gathering information, but of living relationship with the God who makes himself known. If both of those things are true, then it follows that knowing God must take shape in practices, not merely propositions. 

We’ve seen that human beings are not just thinking minds, but embodied, relational creatures. If that’s true, it changes what it means to know God in the first place. 

Yesterday we talked about information alone not being enough to change us, today we ask why. The answer lies in what kind of beings we are. 

We often assume that if we just learn the right things, we’ll live the right way. Yet in everyday life, we all know this isn’t quite true. 

Many of us assume that if we know the right things, then we’ll live the right way. If only we could understand the Bible more clearly, think more deeply, and grasp the right truths, surely our lives would follow.
