What does the Bible mean by the knowledge of God?
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverb 9:10
Jesus Christ did not die simply that we may have knowledge of the Bible. Jesus Christ died that we may know God.
The Hebrew concept is knowing is different to the Greek concept. Greek style knowledge is scientific, academic, reasoned knowledge. It can be totally detached from emotion.
