Do You Want To Know GOD?

                                                        

Gal 4:6  And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

I am the Alpha. The very first syllable of the knowledge of God is the knowledge of Jesus Christ. 

It begins with "A"; it is the first lisp of a babe. God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6). 

The first syllable of the Christian life begins with "A" – "Father." We do not know the Father until we know Jesus Christ: He it is Who has revealed the Father. The beginning of all knowledge of God as Father comes to us through Jesus Christ.

What He said in His prayer was indeed true: "I have manifested unto them Thy name" (John 17:6) – and that name was "Father."

Do you want to know God?

Do you want to know Him as Father?

Do you want to know what He has to say to you, to make known to you?

Do you want to know all or any of the vast wealth God would reveal to you? You can only know it in Jesus Christ; you can only know it in Him Who is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. 

There is no knowledge without words made up of letters (except perhaps for our Chinese friends!), and all the letters are between these two. 

There is no knowledge that is knowledge indeed, knowledge that is Life eternal, except in Jesus Christ. "This is life eternal, that they should know Thee the only true God, and Him Whom Thou didst send... Jesus Christ" (John 17:3).

There is no knowledge outside of Jesus Christ.

And there is no communication from God outside of Jesus Christ. 

Set Jesus Christ aside, and God is silent – He has nothing to say to you.

If you fail to give His Son His place, God is just mute; He will communicate nothing.

The more you honor the Son, the more the Father will come out to you and communicate with you.
