I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
Paul said that, not me.
A little knowledge of God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge about Him.
The comprehensiveness of our contentment is [one] measure where by we may judge wether we really know God.
Do we desire such knowledge of God? Then-
First, we must recognise how much we lack knowledge of God. We must learn to measure ourselves, not by our knowledge about God, not by our gifts and responsibilities in the church, but by how we pray and what goes on in our hearts. Many of us, I suspect, have no idea how impoverished we are at this level. Let us ask the Lord to show us.
Second we must seek the Saviour. When He was on earth, he invited men to company with Him; thus they came to know Him, and in knowing Him to know His Father.
J.I. Packer said that, not me.
