Energy for Life

Continuing with our theme of KNOWING GOD (with respect to J. I. Packer and his book Knowing God), I propose that if you truly KNOW GOD - not just know stuff ABOUT Him, that there will be evidence in your life. The first evidence of people that Know God is that they are people of great energy

Daniel 11:32 (ESV)
"...the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action."

People that know GOD will be people that take action. The evidence of their life will be a passion and a willingness to stand up for God. This is in contrast to the people that are seduced by society and the things of this world and live life their way -opposed to God.

Are you going through life as if you are enslaved in drudgery, or are you going through life with a passion and an excitement for what you believe in and stand for?

Jesus said in John 10 those of us that know Him follow him. We stand for what is right, we live our lives to make a difference, rather than simply going through the motions of life.

Eph 4:23-24 says:
"There must be spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God's likeness - righteous, holy, and true."

If we know Him - we are new creations - recreated in God's likeness and it should be evident in our lives.
