The Living God

AUGUST 14, 2020

Establish Your word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You.
Psalm 119:38

Recommended Reading: Psalm 119:33-40

In his book, Knowing God, J. I. Packer writes, “There can be no spiritual health without doctrinal knowledge; but it is equally true that there can be no spiritual health with it, if it is sought for the wrong purpose and valued by the wrong standard…. Our aim in studying the Godhead must be to know God better. Our concern must be to enlarge our acquaintance, not simply with the doctrine of God’s attributes, but with the living God whose attributes they are.”[1]

Many Christians have developed a healthy appetite for God’s Word, but the focus must remain on the God who gave His wonderful words to us. As we find precious Scriptures to study and learn, it’s for the purpose of getting to know Him better. Think of a wife whose husband is stationed overseas. Despite modern communication, nothing is sweeter than a love letter in the mail. The letter deepens the love between the couple.

The more time we spend in God’s Word, the more we come to know, love, and cherish God Himself.

We must seek, in studying God, to be led to God. It was for this purpose that revelation was given.

J. I. Packer
