LIFE-GIVING KNOWLEDGE.

By J. R. Miller, D.D.

ANYONE who truly knows God has eternal life. Knowing God, however, is more than knowing about him. Anyone may have all the doctrinal knowledge of God's character, attributes, and works which the Bible reveals, and yet not know God at all in the way that gives life. We may know all about some great man biographically, and yet not know the man at all personally. But suppose we then meet him, and become intimately associated with him, and he becomes our dear friend, and we learn to love him and trust him, then we really know him. We first learn about him, and then we seek him and find him; and he receives us into his family. Then we learn to trust him and to love him. We can know God only through Jesus Christ.—J. R. Miller, D.D.
