A study from Vince Baker Ministries
How do I grow in a personal relationship with God?
In Philippians, Paul describes knowing Christ as central to his life, including fellowship through suffering and hope in the resurrection. Psalm 27 gives a picture of seeking God’s face in the middle of conflict. Both passages make room for relationship across ordinary days and hard seasons.
Knowing God Beyond What You Can Explain
The final two sayings contrast familiar religious language with the gradual development of relationship. Jesus’s prayer directs readers toward the Father and the Son. Give your next time of prayer a concrete focus by thanking God for one feature of His character you saw in the text.
Put one quote into practice
Start with a short passage from John and spend a few minutes reflecting on how Jesus speaks and acts. Pray about one thing you learned about Him. Return to the passage after acting on one instruction and note what you have learned through that act.
