The “Epignosis” Of The Truth
…For this is good and acceptable in the sight of
God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be
saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the
truth (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
God’s desire is for all men to be saved and
come to the knowledge (Greek: Epignosis)
of the truth. The reason for bringing salvation to all
men isn’t only for them to receive it and escape
eternal damnation but also to come into an intimate
knowledge, a fellowship or oneness with the truth.
That’s when you really start living.
For example, 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again,
not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” This
means you’re born of the Word; you’re the Word in
flesh! Your life as a Christian is the manifestation of
the Word. God wants you to come to the knowledge
of this truth.
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love God….” This
means you can’t be disadvantaged or defeated in life;
the whole world is yours; you’re an associate of the
God-kind. There’s no such thing as failure or poverty
when you understand this revelation. These are basic
truths revealed to us in the Word; receive and accept
them, and your life will be an unending stream of the
supernatural.
The Bible talks about those who are “Ever learning,
and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth”
(2 Timothy 3:7). These are individuals who refuse to
yield to the knowledge of the truth of their inheritance
and identity in Christ Jesus. As a result, they turn around
in circles, and never make progress. You can break
the cycle by coming into the knowledge or oneness
with the truth of your success, victory, prosperity and
glorious life in Christ Jesus. You need to come to the
knowledge of the truth that you’re in God’s class.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for granting me the spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of you. You’ve granted me the
specialized knowledge that enables me to function in your
perfect will, now and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
