Not only does God want all men saved, He also wants them to come into the knowledge of the truth. This kind of knowledge is "epignosis" (Greek); intimate knowledge of, fellowship or oneness with, the truth. When you come into oneness with truth, you’ll discover who you really are.

 

For example, 1 Peter 1:23 says, "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." You’re born of God’s Word in exactly the same sense that Jesus is described as the Word made flesh (John 1:14). God wants you to come into oneness with this truth; He wants you to relate with it and understand that your life is the manifestation of the Word of God. That’s true Christianity.

 

Have the knowledge in your spirit of what Paul meant when he said, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). Notice the phrase, "…all things…." That means there’s no disadvantage to you as a child of God. The whole world is yours because you’re the seed of Abraham.

 

2 Peter 1:4 says you belong in the fraternity of the God-kind, having been born into God’s class, with His nature and character in your spirit. You’ve been translated from the ordinary realm of "mankind" to the supernatural class of the "God-kind." Therefore, there’s no room for failure or defeat; poverty, sickness and weakness are not a part of your life. You’re indestructible, because you’re born of God’s incorruptible Word.

 

God wants you to have intimate knowledge of these and other truths revealed concerning you in His Word. No wonder the Psalmist vociferates in Psalm 87:3, "Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah." Accept and walk in the light of God’s truths concerning you.
