I believe the article stated the facts on knowing God, and clearly expresses the conditions and consequences,based on our knowledge of God. As the Word says you know a tree by the fruit it bears, this statement sums things up well. In other words, I believe you can discern the relationship one has with God on the way he/she behaves,and responds to situations, people and life in general. " Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 2:5)
To know and have the mind of Christ, we must read his Word to find out what his thoughts are concerning everything that life brings, then we must apply his thoughts to every area of our lives , if we want to be like him and live holy, productive,and peaceful lives.
