Knowing God
General Message of the Lecture
The lecture centers on the idea of tasting life with God on earth as the true preparation for enjoying the Kingdom of Heaven. Eternal life is not a sudden unfamiliar reality, but a continuation of a relationship that begins here and now.
Spiritual and Educational Summary
- Tasting the Kingdom begins now
The Holy Scripture invites us to taste the goodness of the Lord in our daily life, because whoever does not experience communion with God on earth will not rejoice in it in heaven. - Knowing God is not information
True knowledge of God is not intellectual, theological, or ritualistic knowledge, but a knowledge of love, fellowship, and living communion. - God is always the One who seeks us
God, the Creator of heaven and earth, continually seeks reconciliation with humanity and knocks on the door of the heart, while humans often delay or become distracted. - The danger of formal religiosity
A person may serve, teach, and speak about God without having a real relationship with Him, turning faith into lifeless information. - God must be present in everything
In science, work, ministry, success, and the human mind—God is the source, not a marginal element in life. - God as an end, not a means
Many use God to achieve their goals, while the saints made God Himself the goal and the true treasure. - True life is Christ
As the apostles and saints lived, God is not part of life; He is life itself—the center of thought, heart, and will. - Preparation for eternity
Whoever does not grow accustomed to living with God now will feel like a stranger in heaven. Therefore, daily spiritual training in loving God and being occupied with Him is essential.
