And I John 1 sums up our many week study on
understanding:
We know also that the Son of God has come and has
given us understanding, so
that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his
Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
The only understanding worth any value in this
life – eternal value and life-giving value – is the understanding of Jesus and
who he is – the son of God who loves us and gave himself up for us.
The next phase of understanding is to realize
that we are in him because he has forgiven us and invited us to be a part of
his kingdom and his inheritance and his abundance in this life, and in the life
to come.
The last phase of understanding is to stand
firmly on the fact that he is the one and only true God and that he has
lavished richly upon us his grace, mercy and love so that we can truly know who
he is, in the power and wisdom that he freely gives.
That kind of understand, my friend, will produce
a fulfilling life – the life we’re all searching to have but never find.
Do you understand?
If you don’t know Jesus and don’t comprehend his
great love, it’s a simple request to make and he will hear you – and grant you
understanding – so that you can receive.
