Ephesians 1: 15-23<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

TO KNOW GOD\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 1: 15-17<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

For this reason,\u00a0because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,\u00a016\u00a0<\/strong>I\u00a0do not cease to give thanks for you,\u00a0remembering you in my prayers,\u00a017\u00a0<\/strong>that\u00a0the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,\u00a0may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

1 John 3: 23<\/span><\/h3>\n

And this is his commandment,\u00a0that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and\u00a0love one another,\u00a0just as he has commanded us.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

1 Corinthians 2: 12-13<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0Now\u00a0we have received not\u00a0the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.\u00a013\u00a0<\/strong>And we impart this\u00a0in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit,\u00a0interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

John 17: 3<\/span><\/h3>\n

And this is eternal life,\u00a0that they know you,\u00a0the only\u00a0true God, and\u00a0Jesus Christ whom you have sent.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Philippians 3: 10<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0that I may know him and\u00a0the power of his resurrection, and\u00a0may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

1 Corinthians 13: 9-12<\/span><\/h3>\n

For\u00a0we know in part and we prophesy in part,\u00a010\u00a0<\/strong>but\u00a0when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.\u00a011\u00a0<\/strong>When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.\u00a012\u00a0<\/strong>For\u00a0now we see in a mirror dimly, but\u00a0then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as\u00a0I have been fully known.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

TO KNOW GOD’S CALLING\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 1: 18<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is\u00a0the hope to which he has called you, what are\u00a0the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

1 Peter 2: 9<\/span><\/h3>\n

But you are\u00a0a chosen race,\u00a0a royal\u00a0priesthood,\u00a0a holy nation,\u00a0a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you\u00a0out of darkness into\u00a0his marvelous light.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

1 Peter 5: 10<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0And\u00a0after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace,\u00a0who has called you to his\u00a0eternal glory in Christ, will himself\u00a0restore,\u00a0confirm, strengthen, and establish you.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

TO KNOW GOD’S INHERITANCE\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 1: 18<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is\u00a0the hope to which he has called you, what are\u00a0the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Titus 2: 14<\/span><\/h3>\n

who gave himself for us to\u00a0redeem us from all lawlessness and\u00a0to purify for himself\u00a0a people for his own possession who are\u00a0zealous for good works.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

TO KNOW GOD’S POWER\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 1:19<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe,\u00a0according to the working of\u00a0his great might<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Colossians 1: 28-29<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that\u00a0we may present everyone\u00a0mature in Christ.\u00a029\u00a0<\/strong>For this\u00a0I toil,\u00a0struggling\u00a0with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

TO KNOW GOD’S RULE\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 1: 20-23<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

that he worked in Christ\u00a0when he raised him from the dead and\u00a0seated him at his right hand\u00a0in the heavenly places,\u00a021\u00a0<\/strong>far above\u00a0all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above\u00a0every name that is named, not only in\u00a0this age but also in the one to come.\u00a022\u00a0<\/strong>And\u00a0he put all things under his feet and gave him as\u00a0head over all things to the church,\u00a023\u00a0<\/strong>which is his body,\u00a0the fullness of him\u00a0who fills\u00a0all in all.<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
