Part 7 of Dr. Abel Damina’s teaching series, “Knowing God in Christ,” focuses on the necessity of having spiritual understanding and revelation knowledge to truly know God. Dr. Damina explains that knowing God is not based on religious practices or traditions but on the revelation of God’s character and purpose through Jesus Christ as revealed in the scriptures.
Key Points in Part 7:
1. Revelation Knowledge:
Understanding God comes through enlightenment, which is spiritual insight granted by the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 1:17-18 serves as a key scripture, emphasizing that believers need the “eyes of their understanding” enlightened.
2. Jesus as the Full Revelation of God:
Jesus is the express image of God’s person (Hebrews 1:3). Knowing Jesus is equivalent to knowing God.
The teachings focus on dismissing misconceptions about God’s nature by observing how Jesus interacted with people during His earthly ministry.
3. The Importance of Scripture:
The Bible is the source of revelation knowledge about God.
Believers are encouraged to study the scriptures diligently and consistently to grow in their understanding of God.
4. Living in the Light of Revelation:
When believers gain true knowledge of God in Christ, it transforms their lives, leading to a clearer understanding of their identity, purpose, and authority as Christians.
Dr. Damina encourages listeners to focus on Christ-centered teaching, rejecting doctrines that portray God as inconsistent or harsh. Instead, believers are taught to see God’s love and grace as perfectly revealed in Christ.
