Philippians 3:10-11 (NKJV) 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
In this life that we live, what should our goal be as a child of God?
What is it that we should be accomplishing here, in this short lifetime that we live?
Some might say to work advancing the kingdom of God in the earth, and that’s partially correct.
Others might say to feed the poor and needy and take care of widows and orphans. And that would be partially correct!
But before we can do any of those things, there is something else we need to do. And that is to know God.
We need to know God before we can do any of those other things. Otherwise, we are acting based only on intellect and head knowledge, and leaving God’s spirit out of the equation.
God has told us that if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.
James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…
So as we walk this earth, our primary goal should be to know God. To become intimate with Him and learn to hear Him. And then, when we learn to hear Him, we will know how to carry out all of these other things.
