2.3 Book Discussion One

[Lorna Anne]

If we tasted and see Gods goodness in our life, it is very easy to share because you have personal experience who God is.

"Those who know God have great energy for God, thoughts of God, boldness for God, contentment in God."

I came from the Philippines to Canada, not knowing no one, but because I trust Godforgrester things and I prayed for his will, I know, he has plans for me in Canada.

" For I know who. I believed…" song.

[Abayomi]

That knowing God, according to Packer’s evidence and my personal evidence, based on life’s experiences, will give us great energy, great thoughts, great boldness, and great contentment.

Because, without Jesus Christ we can do nothing, and being intimate with Him will give us the feeling of wanting to grow more and do more for Jesus, and to learn to always trust and obey Him.

Finally, great contentment is that if we have Jesus Christ in our lives, we all have everything.

[Kaela]

I’m hoping that God gives me the boldness I need to share the Gospel with nonbelievers (or whoever God puts on my heart to share with). I want to tell them about the Goodness of God, about who God is and what he has done for us, even when we were His enemies. God is the one that transforms us. We can do nothing without Him and because of His great mercy He guides us. We are lost without Him. I want to tell everyone to fear the Lord, because He is far more Just than any man. We have all sinned against Him and we deserve Hell. But God is rich in mercy and has given us a way to be with Him forever. I want people to know how important our salvation is. How amazing God is and how wonderful it is to be near God. That’s something we all should long for. I must become less and He must become greater!

[Ronadette]

Knowing God will give us great energy, great thoughts, great boldness and great contentment. That being intimate with Jesus Christ will give us the feeling of wanting to be more with Him and to do more for Him. We will not stop where we are with the relationship we have with Jesus, but we want more and more with Him. That the more we know Him, the more we want to be intimate with Him, the more we do good to others, the more we share His Gospel, the more we desire to worship, praise and glorify Him.

And great contentment is that if we have Jesus in our lives, we all have everything.
