John 4:21-24 KJV – Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. [22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
[23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
We are starting this God-series because many people are worshipping the God they don’t know. In John 4:21-24, our Lord Jesus told the woman of Samaria that her main problem was that she was worshipping a God she didn’t know. Our brethren must be taught to know God if we are going to do well in the faith. May the Lord graciously give us a revelation of himself through the pages of the scriptures.
Our purpose is to reveal the God of Adam, to tell the story of Adam from a different perspective and to understand how we can have hope in the God of Adam (See Romans 15:4). We know that whatever God did in the life of Adam, He can do the same today because He changes not.
Malachi 3:6-7 KJV – For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. [7] Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
Hebrews 13:5-9 KJV – Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. [6] So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear What man shall do unto me.
[7] Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. [8] Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
[9] Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Knowing God starts by studying His dealings with other faithfuls. We cannot speak in a vacuum about what we think God is; we must find Him in the scriptures. We want to know what the Bible says about God because it is good that the heart be established with grace.
Romans 15:4 KJV – For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
