FAITH CAPSULE: Knowing God or knowing about God is crucial to live for God.

Psalm 14

Understanding is crucial, and all should grow in understanding to live for God.
God pays attention to the affairs of all.
God expects all to have understanding, not to livr as a fool.
Psalm 14:1-2, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; they have done abominable works. There is none who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.”
Understanding God will unlock knowing God, living for God, and having a knowing edge in the journey of life.
Take note, understanding should be a way of life.
Understanding the word of God is the evidence of knowing God, not knowing about God.
To answer as a believer, truly living for God, understanding God will give a knowing edge for a believer.
Knowing about God does not have a place with God because it lacks understanding of God.
Gain understanding to know God; then live for God.
Do you know God?
Claiming to be a believer is not evidence of knowing God.
Many are unbelieving believers who do not know God.
For real, do you know God?
Do you have an understanding of God?
It is a mistaken assumption of one who claims to know God but only knows about God.

All should be looking inward and seeking deeper truth if there is an understanding of how to know God.

It is not difficult to search oneself and know if one knows God or knows about God.
One can deceive the world by claiming to know God but not knowing God.
One who understands will know God, to live life for God, not to live a life of waste.
Understanding is that God wants His creation to live (exist) for Him.
One with an understanding of God will strive and live for God.
Revelation 4:11 records the reason why to live for God:“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”

Understanding is crucial for anyone to walk worthy of the glory of God.
