The Experience of It

The Experience of It.—A knowledge of the Gospel is essential, but one must go deeper than the mere facts of theoretical knowledge, if he would actually know Christ; he must have the knowledge that comes from experience. The knowledge that comes thru theory alone may all be set aside by some other theory more plausibly presented. But what we know from a real experience of our own, gives us a secure foundation. It is possible for every one to gain such living experience in the things of God that he actually knows God and His Son Jesus Christ. The Christianity of the real Christ is not a vague myth; it is a living reality. And the one who has the real experience of a Christian knows that this is so.
