You Need to Know

Recently, I received the opportunity to contribute as a Guest Blogger to the NorthStar Women’s Network where I wrote on the importance of growing in our comprehension of God’s love.

Here is an excerpt:

In the context of mutual relationships, love matures in tandem with intimate knowledge and a growing understanding of one another. The cycle works a bit like this: knowing sparks love, love inspires greater knowing, greater knowing produces even deeper love, and so forth. This ever-deepening cycle builds a healthy relationship.

However, in the context of a Christian’s relationship with God, love and knowledge work together differently. Father God fully knows His children and loves them infinitely – He does not become more intimately aware of His children nor does His love for them mature. Rather, knowledge and love are unshakeable absolutes flowing out of His nature through the lens of Jesus Christ. Instead of building a relationship, God brings relationship to all who receive Him.
