<br>A. Gnosko -- knowing by experience.

<br>1. Intuitive knowledge difficult to prove.
|

<br>2. Experimental knowledge can be proved by the experience itself.

<br>A. There are many people who profess to know the Lord who really do not know Him at all.

<br>1. You can be sure that the person who says,"I am on good terms with the man upstairs," really isn't.
|

<br>2. The word "know" here is the word that is to know by experience.

|
|
<br>2. James exhorted, "Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only."

1. Words are easy to say.

<br>A. John first speaks of being born of God in his gospel,

<br>JOH 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

<br>A. We must not think of an idol as a little image carved out of wood or molded of silver or gold.

|
<br>1. Though often in the ancient world the people made little images to worship them, idolatry is something that is a person's heart.
