In the beginning of the 3rd Chapter of J.I. Packer's book "Knowing God"
words to live by !
What were we made for? To know God.
What aim should we set ourselves in life? to know GOD.
What is the "eternal life" that Jesus gives? Knowledge of God. "This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." John 17:3
What is the best thing in life, bringing more joy, delight and contentment than anything else? Knowledge of God "This is what the Lord says: 'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength, or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me' " (Jere 9:23-24)
For what higher, more exalted goal can there be than to know God?
