These days, its more than just knowing about the truth.
You need to know God intimately; allow me to elaborate.

I just had a conversation with my friend who is getting married at the end of this year.apparantly, her fiancée is a non-christian and that got the church pretty upset. Nonetheless, her parents love that guy very much; coz he love my fren whole-heartedly.

My primary concern about her marriage was not if the guy is a christian or not.
Rather, my question to her was; if this marriage is going to affect her relationship with God? she gave me an outright yes; (Honesty doesnt mean aprroval)

Not full credited to her marriage, but partially because of her work commitments. You see, she is going to get promoted at her work place.

Now, take sometime off your work and start to think.
How does the devil go against God?

Answer is this; The devil will try to make this world a very attractive place, making all the christians become very materialistic and world-minded. eventually, the devil will try, by all means, to distant our relationship with God.

When that day come, it doesnt matter how much you know about God!
You have already lost that relationship with Him! I did a bit of research and found out that, 7 times, in the four gospels, we can see that even the evil spirits knows who God is!!

So, What does this tells us?

It’s not just about knowing, its about doing.
Its not just leading by explanation, but leading by example.
Jesus didnt explain to His Disciples how to wash feet, He showed them.

Our walk with God shouldnt be just knowing who God is, theologically.
You can have all the knowledge in the whole world, and not know how to love.

Having a relationship with God, is to have a personal encounter with Him!
Dwelling in His presence, Spending time in His word, in prayer.
To sum it up, i quote what auntie faye always say:
I’m worshipping and romancing with our Father every day.

Matthew 8:28-29 (NIV) When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

Mark 1:24 (NIV) “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!”

Mark 3:11 (NIV) Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

Mark 5:7 (NIV) He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won’t torture me!”

Luke 4:34 (NIV) “Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!”

Luke 4:41 (NIV) Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Christ.

Luke 8:28 (NIV) When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!”
