Many Christians believe that knowing God is not only a personal journey but also something experienced through participation in the Church. The message argues that individual understanding is limited and points to 1 Corinthians 13:12, where Paul says believers currently know only in part.
The article uses Ephesians 1:22-23 and Ephesians 3:10 to emphasize the Church as the collective body of Christ, where different believers reveal different aspects of God’s wisdom and character. It also highlights Ephesians 3:17-19, where Paul connects knowing the fullness of Christ’s love with experiencing it together with other believers.
The message ultimately calls Christians to embrace community, love and unity rather than isolation. Referencing Matthew 22:37-40, Psalm 133 and John 17, it argues that relationships with other believers can deepen understanding of God and help Christians experience aspects of faith that may be difficult to discover alone.
