Encounter Christ

Posted on 04/04/2015 by John Harris

That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

1 John 1:3

John the apostle never ceased to marvel at the life-changing relationship he enjoyed with his Lord.

“Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding.”

Deuteronomy 4:6a

Wisdom is not what you know about the world but how well you know God. Human reasoning will not make you wise. It may even lead you to reject the ways of God (1 Cor. 1:18–25).
