Knowing God: The Prefaces

-

Dr. Packer originally wrote Knowing God in 1973 and provided an update to the book in 1993. As a result he wrote two prefaces to the book, one for each of the years the books was published.

As we head into reading through Knowing God, let me encourage you to read the Prefaces. Dr. Packer makes an important point as we begin our journey of reading the book: this book is a “nurture book”...”a book for travelers.” And at the heart of the book is “the conviction...that ignorance of God — ignorance of both his ways and of the practice of communion with him — lies at the root of much of the church’s weakness today.” (written nearly 50 years ago...as much as some things change, some things don’t it seems)

Songs I Find Helpful: It was finished upon that cross

-
 Part of my devotional life is listening to songs I find helpful to my walk with Christ, helpful in transforming me into the image of my Savior. In an on-going series of posts, from time-to-time I will post songs that I find helpful in my walk with Christ, songs I find encouraging, songs I find that express my own struggles, songs that express my own longings, songs that express my own lament. Many of these songs are songs that we as a body sing together, confessing our own communal longings, desires, laments, and encouragements for God, for Christ, for the gospel, for His glory. As we approach Easter I wanted to share a new song from City Alight ( https://www.cityalight.com/ ): “It was finished upon that cross.” The song glories in the finished work of Christ on the cross “that we would be free indeed...free from every plan of darkness, free to live and free to love.” It glories in and reflects upon the final of the seven sayings of Christ on the cross found in John 19:30, “It is fini

Knowing God: Chapter 13 - The Grace of God

-
Chapter 13 of Knowing God brings us to consider “The Grace of God.”   To truly grasp and appreciate grace we must realize basic realities about both God and man.  The moral ill-desert of man -  All people are “creatures fallen from God’s image, rebels against God’s rule, guilty and unclean in God’s sight, fit only for God’s condemnation...” We are not inherently good; we are inherently sinful.   The retributive justice of God -  “...retribution (judgment of sin) [is] the moral law of God’s world and an expression of His holy character...God is not true to Himself unless He punishes sin.” (Thus, our need for someone to stand in our place as our representative and substitutionary atonement.) The spiritual impotence of man -  We are incapable of saving ourselves from the wrath and judgment of God. The sovereign freedom of God -  God is under no obligation or compulsion to love us or save us. Yet He freely chooses to love us and save us.   And as we consider grace, there are three mira

Knowing God: Chapter 21 - These Inward Trials

-
Chapter 21 of  Knowing God  focuses upon the normal Christian life and how God’s grace works to accomplish it. Two (2) Inaccurate Applications of the Gospel Dr. Packer notes there are two (2) dangerous “inaccurate application[s]” of the gospel that lead to a misunderstanding of what the normal Christian life is: Over-emphasizing the positive aspects of the Christian life leading one to believe the gospel brings a life of ease Over-emphasizing the “rough side” of the Christian life leading one to believe “that Christian living is for the most part grievous and gloomy.” Neither is healthy. But while the latter may lead one to a “surprise” that the Christian life is actually more joyous and pleasant than described, the prior is particularly “cruel” but not because of its motivation, for it is an “evangelical ministry” that is based in the “acceptance of the Bible as God’s Word” with the “aim...to bring people to new birth and from there to lead them on into the fullest possible experience
