Knowing Christ
Philippians 3:10-11 11/25/07
Do you have a hunger to know God? Man was created to know God and fellowship with Him. So why don’t people hunger after God? One reason people aren’t hungry to know God is because they are so full of themselves and full of the world that there is no room for anything else. The average person is quite satisfied with himself and with his life as it is. Oh sure, it could be better – as in having more money, more things, or more fun. But people don’t seek after God because they are content with their lives apart from God. They don’t see God as adding anything to their lives, and even think that He might take away some things if they got too close to Him. In his Institutes of the Christian Religion, John Calvin said that “We cannot seriously aspire to God before we begin to become displeased with ourselves. Each of us must, then, be so stung by the consciousness of his own unhappiness as to attain at least some knowledge of God.”
