'You grow in knowledge of God as you know him more and more as Lord, as King. First, he is the one who controls all things. You will grow in your knowledge of God as you see more and more things as under his control: the present, the future, your own life, your sin, your salvation. Perhaps you think now that there is some part of your life where you are in control. You will grow in your knowledge of God when you come to see that ultimately there is no part of your life that is controlled by anyone other than God, even that little part of your life.
Second, you come to know God as the one who speaks with such authority that you must obey - in every area of your life: you social life, your moral life, even your intellectual life. You will grow in your knowledge of God whne you come to bring every thought captive to Christ (1 Cor.10:5).
Third, you come to know God as you sense more and more his presence in your life. You can't ever escape from him. You can't do anything that he doesn't see. And nothing shall ever seperate you from his love.'
John Frame, Salvation Belongs to the Lord, p.75.
