Many, many Christians are missing out on this part in their walk with Lord. God will supernaturally communicate His knowledge to you - but you first have to realize that He does want to communicate His knowledge to you and then you have to learn how to pick it up and properly read it when He does start to communicate to you. Again - I will go into much more detail on how to really hear from God in another article - but in this article, I want to show to you by Scripture verses I will list below, that God really does want to impart and transmit knowledge to you.

As you will see in way that I will present appropriate Scripture verses on this subject to you - we are dealing with an incredible profound reality - in that God Almighty Himself - a Being with perfect knowledge on all things - is willing to communicate and transmit His knowledge to us through Holy Spirit - who is literally living on inside of us! Think about this - that you have knowledge of God already residing on inside of you in Holy Spirit who is already living on inside of you!

The Scripture verses I will list below will show you extreme importance that God is placing on each and everyone of us in that we seek to obtain this kind of knowledge from Him. In some of these verses, God is making some very powerful and profound statements. He says:

That we are to GROW in grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

That His people are literally destroyed and will go into captivity for lack of knowledge.

That gaining His knowledge and wisdom will help you walk safely in this life, help preserve you and help keep you on right path that He has set up for you to follow in this life.

That gaining knowledge, wisdom and understanding is better than all of gold, silver and rubies of this world and that it does not even begin to compare to anything else that you may desire in this life! In other words, gaining knowledge of God in this life is bigger and better than any materialistic thing that you could ever buy, want or desire in this life!

To think that God Himself is making this kind of statement in that acquiring knowledge is more important than anything else that we can acquire in this life is as big and powerful of a statement that He can make about what is really most important in this life!

Notice in first bullet point above that we are to grow in knowledge of God. I believe that main reason God is telling us that gaining knowledge is more important than anything else we can seek after in this life is because we cannot grow in God unless we obtain His knowledge and then seek to implement these truths into our lives and walk with Him.

After you get saved - God then expects you to start to spiritually grow and mature in your walk with Him. You cannot become more holy, more transformed and more sanctified unless you are spiritually growing. And you cannot start to spiritually grow unless you are first seeking after knowledge that will cause this spiritual growth to occur in first place!

If you really study people who are most alive in this life - it is seekers - it is people who are constantly learning, constantly trying to improve their knowledge base on whatever it is they are seeking after. It is knowledge seekers that are making great discoveries that are changing course of human history with discoveries that they have made. And they could not have made those discoveries without first seeking after knowledge that would eventually lead them to those specific discoveries.

As you will see in some of profound Scripture verses I will list below - God will make you seek and search after knowledge - much in same way treasure hunters will search for buried treasure. Talk to any true knowledge seeker - and they will tell you that most of their joy comes from journey of trying to find knowledge that they are seeking after. Once discovery has been made and they have found everything that they may need on a particular subject - then it is off to next great adventure.

Nothing will stimulate your mind and emotions and make you feel more alive than seeking after knowledge on something that you may really be interested in and be very passionate about. However, many in our country have become "brain dead" and mentally lazy as a result of becoming couch potatoes by watching too much TV. God has incredible knowledge adventures set up for each and everyone of us if we are willing to get up out of our ruts, step out of our safe boats and start seeking after things that He wants us seeking after.

Before I go into Scripture verses on all of this - I will leave you with one last thought.

The knowledge of God is like a treasure chest that has no bottom to it! There is no limit to amount of knowledge that God can release to you if you are willing to dive into that treasure chest and start seeking after it. Think about this long and hard - that one and only all powerful and all knowing God of entire universe is willing and able to transmit His knowledge to you on whatever it is you are wanting His knowledge and wisdom on.

Every single Christian has this incredible treasure chest of knowledge and wisdom literally residing on inside of them in person of Holy Spirit. And Holy Spirit is only too anxious and just waiting for you to tap into Him to get this knowledge to start to be released to you!

This incredible knowledge adventure is waiting for each and every Christian who is willing to get off couch and start using brain power that Lord has given to each and everyone of us to start to seek after this kind of knowledge.

Let me continue, please. Circumcision, sign of God’s covenant between people of Abraham and Himself, was performed on every male child who was eight days old (Genesis 17:12). Many see a direct parallel between circumcision and Christian baptism in scriptural passages such as Colossians 2:11-12. If baptism is “New Testament circumcision” there can definitely be no objection to “sealing” infant of a consecrated Christian family in Christ’s New Covenant.

Continuing. Moses led his people through Red Sea. This is seen as an Old Testament foreshadowing of Christian baptism. (See I Corinthians 10:1-4.) It is worthwhile to note that “all were baptized” through Moses’ leadership in crossing over Red Sea. He did not leave infants or children on shores of Egypt to become prey to angry armies of Pharaoh because they were not old enough to believe in promise of Old Covenant. But, rather, entrusted to arms of their parents’ faith, they were carried through “baptism of Moses.”

Continuing, please. The saving of Noah’s entire family by ark can also be seen as a prefigurement of a baptism which includes infants. All that needs to be said, as in case of Moses’ passing through Red Sea, is that entire family was on board ark. In this regard, why should infants be left out of ark of baptism?

Continuing. Larry Christenson, in his pamphlet “What About Baptism” quotes Edmund Schlink (author of The Doctrine of Baptism) as stating that rejection of infant baptism was based on secular philosophy of sixteenth century which assured man’s individuality, and was not result of a new scriptural inquiry: “Belief was seen in rationalistic and volitional terms, as an act of mind and will. ‘Because an infant cannot think or decide, it cannot have faith, and therefore should not be baptized.’ To this day, that is only argument raised against validity of infant baptism. One tosses off sentence as though it were self-evident truth: ‘A child can’t believe.’ But that ‘truth,’ upon examination, is neither self-evident, nor is it Biblical.”

Christenson goes on to say that faith is not merely a product or reason but revelation. It is a relationship of love and trust, a relationship which is not limited to mind. (Consider these scriptures: Psalm 22:9, Mark 9:42 and Luke 1:44.) Again, time does not afford me opportunity to quote early church fathers and their teachings regarding infant baptism. Suffice to say that almost all were in agreement that infant baptism was scriptural and should be carried out in church.

I believe that baptism of infant is significant to our covenant relationship with God through Jesus Christ Son. I believe that infant baptism should be practiced in local church; however, I defer my personal belief to parents. If parents want their baby baptized, I will perform baptism with infant’s dedication. Again, issue is not to divide body who dissents but to cover babies with covenant before God. This can’t hurt but only help.

Keep faith. Stay course. Jesus is coming again soon.
