Know Me

Hebrews 5-8 

“No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.”

Hebrews 8:11

The gift of God to us in our salvation under the New Covenant is that we can know God personally without the mediation of a human priest, sacrificial system, or physical temple for worship. God will indwell our lives by his Spirit so that our bodies become his temple. God’s plan of salvation is available to all, from every people group, every social class, and every age; however, this offer of salvation from the penalty of sin still requires a choice on our part - a decision of the will to trust Christ as our Savior and our leader. The point of salvation is more than sins forgiven and an offer of eternity in heaven with God, it is that we might know him. We can know God in intimacy, in vulnerability, in full surrender, and in faith. Jesus is able to “save completely” (Hebrews 7:25), those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

“Lord Jesus, thank you for your gift of salvation and relationship. Thank you that you are interceding for me today. I want to know you more, and live in that intimacy with you forever.”
