The typical SG Christian culture is to grow in knowledge. We are zealous to grow in knowledge. We desire to have more and know more.
We go for more bible studies, more seminars, more conferences, better pulpit teachings, etc. We are constantly seeking for more knowledge disguised as revelations of God.
This is but mere knowledge, which is not what the Bible talks about.
The Bible talks about knowing His will, leading to doing His will.
...you may be filled with 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐲 of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him: bearing fruit in every good work and 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝. - Col 1:9-10
The knowledge of His will leads to walking (aka doing) in His will. And doing His will causes the INCREASE in the knowledge of Him.
To know Him more, it's not about getting more knowledge and going for more bible studies. It's about finding out His will and doing His will.
When we search out His will (through His Word), there is a demand for response if we want to grow in knowing Him. That's to walk it out. That's to do what we know ---- His will.
The real quest of knowing Him is not found in knowledge. It's found in doing.
