Growth in knowledge is the secret of transformation in life. If you have a computer and continually grow in the knowledge of the use of your computer, you will be different from the crowd of computer users who do nothing with it but word-processing.
If you are connected to the internet, how much you get from it depends on your knowledge of the workings of the internet. If you are married and you are growing in your knowledge of marriage and of your spouse, your marriage cannot be mediocre; and your spouse will mean more to you. If you also grow in your knowledge of yourself, you will be amazed at the vast potential you have for life and excellence.
Every Christian believer has Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory, living in him; but you need to grow in your knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ to profit from your new creation life. You need to grow in your knowledge of the eternal life which you received when you gave your life to Him. That is why the Bible says, in 2 Peter 1: 5 that you should add goodness and knowledge to your faith. As you can do more with your computer if you grow in your knowledge of it, you can accomplish more in, and with, Christ if you grow in your knowledge of Him.
The earth we live in today is the same earth God created in the beginning; but what you see in it today is a product of growth in the knowledge of the earth. The more we learn about it and the things in it, the more we are able to get from it. Earlier generations only marveled at the moon; some even worshipped it; but a generation with improved knowledge has arisen and they send astronauts there for explorations. There is nothing man has invented today that could not have been invented in the days of Noah or Abraham if man had the necessary knowledge.
God said, “My people perish for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4: 6). He did not say, “My people perish for the presence of Satan, lack of money, lack of food or good things. Lack of knowledge is man’s greatest enemy. So many things that have defied man in the ages past will be mastered in this end-time because of the release of abundance of knowledge – especially the knowledge of the word of God.
Daniel 12: 4
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
When knowledge increases, books of knowledge that had been sealed can be opened, read and understood.
This book is about a God-given breakthrough in the knowledge of everlasting life, which every believer in Christ possesses. If you are a believer, you have had this life since the day you accepted the gospel. Now, the understanding of what you have had is brought to you. Angel Gabriel told Daniel, “Now I have come to make you understand….” (Daniel 10: 14).
If you are not yet a believer in Christ, now you can come into an understanding of what you have been rejecting. You have been rejecting the seed of the life you have always desired – a life that never ends; but now you can have it!
The Life that Never Ends
