The Knowledge of God

The Knowledge of God.—“Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before Him, wheresoever our heart condemn us; because God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.” 1 John 3: 19, 20, R. V. How will the fact that God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things, assure our heart before him, when consciousness of sin would naturally cause our heart to condemn us?—Because of the assurance from God that “by his knowledge shall my righteous Servant justify many,” or, as better expressed in the margin of the Revision, “make many righteous.” Isa. 53: 11. Grace and peace are multiplied to us “through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.” 2 Peter 1: 2. Therefore we are exhorted to “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
