It is possible to grow up in a church, learn the catechism and have everything done to us that they do to us, within reason. But after we have done all that, we may not know God at all, because God isn\u2019t known by those external things. We are blind and can\u2019t see, because the things of God no man knows but by the Spirit of God.\u2026 We can hold the creed and not know God in His person at all. We can know the doctrine and not know spiritual things at all. The fearful consequence is that many people know about God but don\u2019t know God Himself. There is a vast difference between knowing about God and knowing God\u2014a vast difference! I can know about your relative\u2014and still not know him in person. If I have never met him, I do not know the touch of his hand or the look of his eye or the smile of his face or the sound of his voice. I only know about him. You can show me his picture and describe him to me, but I still don\u2019t know him. I just know about the man.<\/p>\n
