Have you ever wondered that many folks who read the Bible never get to know the Lord personally or understand His ways to adopt them in their lives? Many read the Bible, many go to Church, many pray but not all live a Christ-centered life. Not all live the life as He desires them to live. The reason is they know about Jesus but not they don't know Him personally. Unless a person is born again by the Spirit of God, they have no revelation from the Holy Spirit to know Jesus in a personal way...
But those who are born again in Christ (by believing the gospel of Christ and by yielding to Him by faith) are given the Holy Spirit who opens their spiritual eyes. They are given the knowledge and wisdom by the Holy Spirit to know Christ more...
Ephesians 1:17 (New International Version)
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
May the Father give us the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge so that we may know Him and His ways to live.
2 Peter 3:18 (New International Version)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen
