Taught to Know God vs Taught About God, side 2

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the distinction between being taught to know God, which only God can do by writing His laws in the heart, and being taught about God, which is the role of preachers. It highlights that true love, faith, and repentance come from God’s inward work, and that the gospel preacher's responsibility is to draw out and educate those whose hearts God has prepared. Biblical examples such as Lydia and Cornelius illustrate how God prepares hearts before preaching. The preacher also affirms that eternal life is knowing God through Jesus Christ, and that understanding comes from the Lord.
