“Know” in Greek: “ginosko” Vine’s: “suggests approval and bears the meaning ‘to be approved’“ Examples: II Tim. 2:19 – “the Lord knoweth them that are his” “the Lord approves of them that are his” Mt. 7:23 – “I never knew you” “I don’t endorse you” We must approve & endorse God as well (I Jn. 5:20)
