Knowing God personally is vital as it leads to genuine faith, obedience, and transformation in one’s life.
Personal knowledge of God is crucial because it fosters a deep and abiding relationship with Him, which is the foundation of faith and obedience. As seen in Jeremiah 31:34, God promises that all His people will know Him, implying a relationship where they experience His forgiveness and grace. This knowledge is what distinguishes true believers from mere professing Christians who lack personal experience of God’s saving work. When one knows the Lord personally, it transforms their heart, aligns their desires with His, and manifests in a life of obedience, showcasing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) in their daily living.
