WORD DIGEST – Tuesday, 25th August 2026
Knowing God
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3 (NKJV)
Digest
The Word reveals that eternal life is more than endless existence; it is knowing God through Jesus Christ. Jesus defines eternal life relationally, not merely as something we receive after death, but as a present participation in the knowledge of the Father through the Son. There is a difference between knowing facts about God and knowing God Himself. Information can increase our knowledge about Him, but revelation brings us into relationship with Him. Eternal life is not merely a possession we have; it is a life we live in fellowship with God.
This knowledge of God becomes the foundation of the believer's strength, discernment, character, and obedience. The more deeply we know Christ, the more our lives are shaped by who He is. Spiritual maturity is not measured merely by how much Scripture we can explain, but by how deeply we know the God revealed in Scripture. Knowing Him changes what we love, how we think, how we respond to pressure, and what we live for. The ultimate pursuit is therefore not merely to do great things for God, but to know God so deeply that everything we do flows from that relationship.
Meditation
Eternal life is not merely life that never ends; it is knowing the God who gives life. Know Him deeply, and let that knowledge become the source of how you live, serve, and walk with Christ.
Declaration
I am growing in the knowledge of God through Jesus Christ. Eternal life is at work in me, and my relationship with God is becoming deeper than information. The knowledge of Christ shapes my thoughts, character, decisions, obedience, and service. I will pursue knowing Him above everything else and allow everything I do to flow from that relationship.

Prayer
Father, deepen my knowledge of You through Jesus Christ. Deliver me from being satisfied with information about You while remaining distant from You. Let the knowledge of Christ become a living reality in me, shaping my desires, decisions, character, and service. May everything I do flow from knowing You and walking in fellowship with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
