Multiply Grace 2
“May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.”
2 Peter 1:2 (NLT)
For every level you get to, you need to increase in grace.
There are things you cannot do without greater grace. The greater the assignment, the greater the grace you need.
As part of the things I mentioned earlier, you must also grow in the knowledge of God and our Lord Jesus.
The more you grow in the knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus, the more superabundance of grace gravitates towards you.
To grow in knowledge in this context is not just to come into awareness of God.
It is not to have your assumption of God or your interpretation of God based on your personal experiences.
The word translated knowledge in 2 Peter 1:2 is EPIGNOSIS (pronounced e-pē’-gnō-sēs). It is a Greek word which basically means precise and correct knowledge.
Apostle Peter used it approximately four times in his epistles. Generally, you will find it used in the New Testament twenty times; Paul the Apostle also used it fifteen times and you will find it used once in Hebrews.
This means not every word translated as “knowledge” in the New Testament has the same meaning as Epignosis.
Here are a few other Greek words:
Eido (to know), to know by a perception of sight.
Ginosko, (to know), to acquire information through some sense perception (hearing).
It is also to know by observation.
Gnosis (knowledge), is an intellectual possession or grasp of information of what is known. It is the comprehension of facts.
Epiginosko (to know), which means to recognize something to be what it is to be, to understand, to know fully, to ascertain or to find out with certainty. It is more than experience gained through sense perception. It is intensification of ginosko. It is to have a higher or spiritual knowledge.
Epignosis is also an intensified form of gnosis. It is an advanced and full knowledge.
Epígnosis refers to the exact, complete, thorough, accurate, experiential knowledge of God. God is Spirit, thus, to have experiential knowledge of Him, you must be or share in His essence. This makes this experiential knowledge a reality which is above facts gained through experiments. It is a reality possessed through intimate relationships.
Until you share in (or have) His life you can’t have the epignosis of God and of Jesus.
Your knowledge of God and of Jesus must be built on the divine life you have received.This is more than the knowledge which brings you to Salvation. This is the knowledge you possess in the newness of life. It is not a hope of what you will experience. It is not what you have in anticipation before you are born again. It is what you have handled as you are born again.
For example, you may believe the truth concerning Jesus that He has made salvation available for you. But that is not the same dimension as receiving and enjoying the reality that His life is in you.
It is not experimental, this knowledge is hewn out of your participation in Him.It is this knowledge that Apostle Peter is referring to in 2 Peter 1:2.
This knowledge is not just an exposure of resources or intellectual acquaintance but spiritual possession and participation of the divine resources.
Epignosis brings you to a place where you are not only aware of who God is and what He has done; but rather makes you share in His life and nature.
Every revelation light you receive, you must demonstrate.By this, you become one with the truth of God in Christ.
So, when you come to the knowledge (epignosis) of God’s love, you have come into oneness with that truth. You will not just be walking about with the mental assertion that God is Love. This knowledge (epignosis) makes you demonstrate or walk in the love of God.
Grace is not multiplied when you are only aware or when you have gone to Bible studies and have heard a certain truth.
Grace is multiplied when you take time to meditate on the reality of the revelation of Jesus, and it drenches or soaks you.Every revelation of Jesus is pregnant with grace.
Jesus is full of grace and reality. (John 1:14).
No wonder Paul the apostle said to the elders in Ephesians:
“And so now, I entrust you into God’s hands and the message of His grace, which is all that you need to become strong. All of God’s blessings are imparted through the message of His grace, which He provides as the spiritual inheritance given to all of his holy ones.” Acts 20:32 (TPT).
The revelation of Jesus which is the message of grace is inherently full of God’s grace, ability and influence of the Holy Spirit.
When the message soaks you, through meditation, it becomes your “epignosis” and it will produce the ability (of grace) to live that reality.Grow in the accurate knowledge of God which in Christ, through continuous meditation on the word of His grace.
Don’t just walk in the awareness or intellectual perception of the Word; be drenched or participate or become one with the reality of Jesus.
