Know

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical concept of God's knowledge, distinguishing between God's omniscient intellectual knowledge of all things and a special, intimate knowledge of those who love and trust Him. It emphasizes that God's 'knowing' someone involves love, approval, and recognition, not just awareness. The preacher highlights scriptures such as Nahum 1:7, John 6:64, and 1 Corinthians 8:3 to illustrate this distinction and encourages believers to find assurance in being known and loved by God. Additionally, the sermon touches on the importance of respecting earthly authorities as ordained by God, referencing Romans 13:1.
