There is
much information today in every direction - books, internet, libraries, stores,
articles, archives - yes, in every direction.
Google it, and something of some kind will pop up.
The Ancient of Days has never changed - no matter what the technology, the generation that now is, the awe and wonder of science and its achievements - God is.
The greatest, truest, purest revelation that can ever happen to a person is to say what Job said, "And now my eyes see you and I repent in dust and ashes."
Man started from dust - God created him. Sin entered the world, God redeemed him through Jesus Christ. God so loved the world too, that He gave Him completely.
If that is all I knew - ever - and I really knew it deep in my heart, would I truly not be transformed?

Beloved. One word to touch my heart. One word to make my life right, pure,
constant, sure, and fixed.
The other thing that truly astounds me is that God is Father. We were all messed up because of not knowing the Father God. "Abba, Daddy."
God Himself is the one who invited us to become children of God through His Son, Jesus Christ. There's only one thing to do: take Him up on His offer.
Yes, I am grateful for all the Bible knowledge God has allowed me to understand - that grows for sure. For me, the Bible had complications in my understanding for years about some things.
However, the Holy Spirit helped me begin to "see" the One who wrote the Bible in the first place - to reach through. And now, every time I open this precious Book, I just rest in Him.

Can't
understand it anyway, without Him.
Oh my, what a Person, what a Savior - and for someone who spent years rolling around in rejection, sorrow, missed opportunities (I thought), like rolling chicken in flour before it's fried - well, no matter - "seeing" the living Lord Jesus, the Heavenly Father is truly the greatest gift to the heart of anyone.
That was Paul's goal: "That I may know Him..." He forsook all other knowledge for one knowledge - the excellencies of the knowledge of Christ.
In doing so, even John wrote this word more than once in his letters: Beloved.
Whew, get that into the heart of anyone, and peace explodes - love is that river flowing, well up into eternal life - abundance of life.
There's nothing to prove with God - not a thing. He only invites us to come and to receive Himself - His great love, all that He wants to pour out through Jesus.
Yes, I personally have nothing else to live for except to have this in view. And I know, with all my heart, this is God's will for everyone - to know the love of God that surpasses knowledge!
So, beloved, travel hard and fast to the glorious Table of Grace God has laid out for us. Let Him feed us, not we ourselves - the food of grace and love and mercy God has, is truly not of this world (and not found on the internet) - :)
Resting in His love,
