Knowing God

Geoffrey J. Barratt

Knowing God: the most important aim, project, ambition, event, there is.

The degree of our knowing God is the measure of how truly alive we are.

Knowing God, we are living at one with reality. Living in spiritual ignorance, we are, so to speak, being unreal. Knowing God is the way to be more loving. It is the heart of healing. It is the essence of wisdom. Proverbs gives us this exuberant and lyrical truth: "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her."^{Prov. 3:13–15;}
