We, as Christians, don’t have to wonder or hope or try to get faith. We need to stop and consider what we know. Our key verse for this study is in 2 Timothy:
. . . for I KNOW whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that day. (2 Tim 1:12b KJV)
For we KNOW JESUS, our Savior and Lord, with whom we have a living, vital relationship—Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God! (Mt 16:16; 26:63; Joh 6:69) To KNOW someone means to have a relationship with, to comprehend, and to have experienced who they truly are as a person.
As a matter of fact, because we have received Jesus Christ as our Savior, Redeemer and Lord, we are now known as SONS OF THE LIVING GOD! (Rom 9:26) Hallelujah!
These are some of the vital things that we KNOW as believers:
- That the Lord has set us apart for Himself; the Lord will hear us when we call upon Him! (Ps 4:3)
- That because we are set apart for God (His anointed), He will answer us with the saving strength of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ps 20:6)
- That the Lord is great, and He is above all gods. (Ps 135:5)
- That God’s works are marvelous. (Ps 139:14)
- That Jesus is the Holy One of God. (Mk 1:24c; Lk 4:34c)
- We know the mysteries of the kingdom of God. (Lk 8:10)
