The Bible states that knowing the Lord involves a personal relationship with Him, as depicted in Hebrews 8:10-13, where God promises to establish an intimate connection with His people.
Hebrews 8:10-13 reveals the nature of knowing the Lord through a new covenant in which God writes His laws on the hearts and minds of His people. This personal relationship is not based on human effort or knowledge but is a divine gift. It signifies an intimate understanding and acceptance of God as our sovereign ruler and Savior, contrasting with the old covenant that could not bring life or true knowledge of God. True knowledge of the Lord leads to faith and salvation, where we abandon confidence in our flesh and rely solely on His grace and righteousness.
