Episode ChaptersIn this episode of “Kingdom Questions with Victor Vigorito,” the host begins by inviting listeners to submit their questions about God, the Bible, and faith through his website. The focus for this particular episode revolves around a question on how to start off the New Year effectively as a Christian, which leads into a broader discussion on the importance of experiential knowledge of God versus merely cerebral knowledge.
Victor emphasizes the foundational principles stated in Hebrews chapter six, mentioning repentance from dead works and faith towards God among other elements as essential starting points. He suggests that many Christians might make New Year’s resolutions to be better believers but stresses that understanding and applying Biblical truths is crucial for true spiritual growth.
Delving deeper, Victor explores the divine power available to believers as mentioned in 2 Peter chapter one verse three, explaining that it encompasses everything necessary for life and godliness through the knowledge of God. He clarifies that this knowledge should be experiential, actively applied in one’s daily life, which in turn unlocks God’s divine power. Moving forward, he notes that the increase of qualities such as moral excellence, self-control, perseverance, godliness, and love indicates fruitful growth in the true knowledge of Jesus Christ, which renders a Christian neither useless nor unfruitful.
Victor further comments on the ultimate purpose of Christian life according to his interpretation of scriptural passages. He points out that the goal isn’t just the forgiveness of sins but to cultivate a life that reflects the knowledge and character of Jesus Christ. Such growth leads to an intimate relationship with God – the ultimate end game of the Christian faith.
