LET US ACQUAINTANCE WITH GOD.

JOB 22:21...ACQUAINT NOW THYSELF WITH HIM, AND BE AT PEACE; THEREBY GOOD SHALL COME UNTO THEE.

The advice of this text is good. It cannot be improved. The man who spoke these words was not acquainted with God. His purpose was to make Job believe that all suffering was caused by sin. His argument would be that religion pays in dollars and cents. Many have embraced it from this standpoint. In this message let us forget the man who gave these words and meditate upon the truth he spoke.

I. ACQUAINTANCE WITH GOD IS POSSIBLE.

The text does not attempt to prove the existence of God. That is a fact to be declared. The real question is not the existence of God but how man can contact Him.

It is possible in that God created man with a spiritual capacity.

It is possible in that God has spoken to us through Christ.

It is shown in that God has given a revelation of Himself in the Bible.

It is further shown in that men have found fellowship with God.

Look at the life of Enoch and Job. They were acquainted with God in their life.

They walk with God in every respect and God walk with them. Can your family march by your body and be able to say that they lived the life and they are in Heaven with God. If so will you be able to meet them there.

II. ACQUAINTANCE WITH GOD IS PROFITABLE.

Acquaintance with a powerful influential man is always profitable. The world says; "Not what you know but who you know." If you are acquainted with God then

you will be laying up treasures in Heaven. It is profitable to be acquainted with God here after.

Paul said, I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED.. II TIM. 1:12.

Acquaintance with God brings peace to our hearts. What mighty peace God is able to give. It is deep and satisfying peace.

It is an undisturbed condition of the mind and the soul in the midst of perplexities and dangers. It is the peace of contentment.

Acquaintance with God brings us into His favor. THEREBY GOOD SHALL COME TO THEE... TEXT.

III. ACQUAINTANCE WITH GOD IS PRACTICAL.

It is more than just a theory. Put God to the test.

Believe His word and trust His promises.
