Mike Fritscher, pastor

2 Peter 1:1-11 – The Outcome of Genuine Faith!

John 17:2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. 3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

John 10:14-16 and 27-29 – Jesus Knows You!

1. Useful and Fruitful!

The Fruit of Knowing Christ!

•  Obedience! 1 John 1:3-6

Titus 1:16 They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.

•  Good Fruit! Matthew 7:15 - 23

Philippians 3:7-15 The Fruit the Believer Produces in Knowing Christ!

2. Vision!

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Romans 8:28-29

Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

3. Security! 1 John 3:13-19
