  How would you prioritize the three reasons given in this lesson for studying the Bible: “It is essential to knowing and loving God;” “It is essential for growing up in God;” and “It is essential to serving God”? What is the basis for how you prioritize them?

  1 Knowing and Loving

  2 Growing

  3 Serving

  We have to Know and Love before we can grow much less effectively serve.

  First would be knowing and loving God, then growing up in God, and serving God can go hand-in-hand. Before we can grow and reliably serve God, we should seek to know and love who he is. Yet, all are equally as important.

  They seem to me to be joined together; growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus involves all three consistently

  1. Knowing and Loving God.

  2. Growing up in God

  3. Serving God.

  I think #1 gets us started in abiding and experiencing God. All 3 are part of experiencing God. So many people fall away after a short time because they have not truly experienced God to the fullest. The other reason is that it is very important to learn to recognize God at work and then learn to respond (part of growing up and serving).

  My priorities are as follows: 1. “It is essential to knowing and Loving God” 2. “It is essential to serving God.”

  3. “It is essential for growing up in God. “

  First, I think we need to get to know GOD and Love him as he first Loved us. Understanding who he is and our responsibility to serve him. As we become for knowledgeable of the Word and Grow is a natural progression. Finally, I believe all three are equally important.
