I Know That......

During the course of a week it is highly likely you use the phrase "I know that." 
We might be able to say "I know that" regarding a myrid of topics, but what about when it comes to the Bible?

The phrase "I know that" itself is found about 50 times in the Bible. 
Here are a few examples of people and even God stating what they know. 



God says "I know that" after Abraham shows his obediance and complete faith in God regarding Isaac. 


Job states that God can do anything and know every thought we think. 

The Psalmist states that not only is our Lord  great, 
but that He is above every God. 

The woman at the well states that she knows the Messiah is coming.
Within a short time she is made aware that she is standing in His presence.

The apostle Paul states the fact that many Christians struggle with,
 regarding our flesh. We know to do right, yet our flesh keeps us
 from performing that which is good.


Through out the Bible, there are truths that we can know...

~ God was manifest in the flesh, 1 Timothy 3:16 ~
~ God Created the Heaven & the Earth, Genesis 1:1 ~ 
~ God loves us & sent His Son to die for us, John 3:16 ~ 
~ We will give an account to God, Romans 14:12 ~ 
~ Every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, Philippians 2:11 ~ 
~ It is impossible for God to lie, Hebrews 7:18 ~ 
~ We have a Mediator, 1 Timothy 2:5 ~ 
~ We are witnesses to the world, Acts 1:8 ~ 

The list can go on and on with facts we know about God. 
It is easy to know facts about God in our head,
 but we need to know them in our heart so they will cause us to act upon them. 

When you see a person walking down the street you know in your mind that one day they will stand before God. If we only know that in our head, it is unlikely that we will witness to them. It will be an inconvenience. But if we know in our heart that person is a soul going somewhere forever we will care enough about their eternity to share the Gospel with them.

Do I know that about the Bible in my head or in my heart?
