I'm a Knower, How bout you.

 At first it might sound a bit presumptuous to say that I am a knower, but I am a knower of Jesus Christ and I think we can all get to a point where it is safe to say, reasonable to say and what we ought to say as born again Christians. I hear people express that they are believers, born again believers or some variation of that, when they define themselves a Christians. I think that is accurate to an extent and is an acceptable way to profess that we are Christians. I have felt, for sometime that the word believer some how lacked something. There is a point where I think we as Christians get to, where believer just doesn't define the full extent of what we are. Let me try to explain....

Lets take the word believe - to take as true or real, to trust a statement or promise of, to have trust faith or confidence in. I agree with that and it does define us as believers of Jesus Christ. In a different light there are things that we know and when we know them it takes on a different form. Let me give you an example. I have children and for me to say that I believe in Parker, indicates that I have faith in him, maybe in his abilities, his choices or what he might stand for, that he is real, but does not have a personal context.

Lets look at the word Knowing or any variation of the word know ( I realize that knower is a made up word but it fits so go with it). Know - to be well informed about, to be aware of, to be acquainted with, to recognize or distinguish, to be sure. Isn't this a more powerful word when it comes to defining who we are as Christians. I am a KNOWER! of Jesus Christ.

Many people say things like they believe in ghosts, but have you heard anyone say they know a ghost? Some people believe in aliens, I have never met anyone that knows an alien. I have met people that know Jesus Christ and I know him as well how about you. If you would like to become a knower of Jesus and have never accepted him as your Lord and Savior. I can tell you how to get started. There is a permanent page in the top left hand corner that points the way to salvation you can click on it any time.  Now that your a knower are you a follower, I am.
