Matthew 7: 21-23 ” Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord,Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, drive out demons, and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from Me, you evildoers!’ “

Intimacy with Jesus is the key in knowing Him not just intellectually, but experimentally. The term intimacy literally means “in to me you see”. This close personal relationship with the Lord comes about only by much study and experience… and like any other cherished, intimate relationship we have, it needs to be nurtured and cared for. This means we need to spend time daily in the Bible, reading God’s love letters to us. We need to be praying and in constant conversation with Him to know His heart. Nothing kills a relationship faster than lack of communication, and the same holds for our relationship with the Lord.
