How to Know God God is Light – no darkness in Him –Fellowship means walking in the light –1 John 1:7 –1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Anyone can CLAIM to know God –I don’t need to obey – I just love God –Immoral – I just felt God led me to this

Real Issue Colossians 1:9-10 -Colossians 1: For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
