HOW TO KNOW
WHEN YOU HAVE BECOME A SAINT
AND
A PERFECT SON OF GOD
(When You Have Overcome The World)
By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze
Before, I believed that God exists. Today, I no longer believe, because I know God. Belief is preliminary (elementary). It is meant for those who do not know God, but who believe that He exists. That is why they are called Believers. To know God means to have seen Him, spoken with Him, interacted with Him, worked with Him. Every believer should seek to know God: to see Him, to hear Him, to touch Him, to co-work with Him, to walk with Him and to relate with Him directly, all on a friendly basis and in a Father-Son relationship, just as Enoch did.
