INTRODUCTION?
Although many bible characters had closer experiences
with God and did amazing things through Gods help.
However, we are even much more privileged than them
(John 14:12), because we have the Bible as a whole.
BUT
Despite the exposure, which we have to the complete
Bible

INTRODUCTION?
Why do we rarely find Christians doing
great things as of the men of old?
Why do we rarely find Christians who
relate so closely with God as of the
men of old?

WHAT IS THE REASON?


The main reason is because many
Christians know about God
(probably even more than some
men of old), but DONT
ACTUALLY KNOW GOD.

Bible Study
helps us to HEAR
FROM GOD.

Hearing from God is like the fuel of


a Christians vehicle.
A Christian that does not want to
hear from God is dead while living
(Luke 15:24)
