“Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” (John 17:3 NIV)
As you get to know God better, you will change. A vibrant and intimate relationship with God in Christ will empower you to heal from the hurts from your past, forgive what seems unforgivable, and change what seems unchangeable about yourself. Walking with God will break the power of materialism in your life and lead you to a radically generous life. Instead of living for yourself and for the moment, you’ll live for Christ and for eternity. Your heart will begin to break for the reasons and the causes that break God’s heart. You’ll serve Him faithfully as part of His bride, the church. Instead of living in torment from worry and fear, you’ll learn to experience peace, grace, and trust. As you get to know God you’ll live boldly for Him, excitedly sharing your faith with others, less and less concerned about what others think. Knowing Him will make you ache to tell others about Him.
Get to know God. When you do, you will never be the same.
-- Craig Groeschel in “The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living as if He Doesn’t Exist”
