Packer reminds us that even "a little knowledge of God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge about Him."
The good news is that God can be known. We simply want to eliminate the mediators and the idea that knowledge about God is the same as knowing him. Thus, discipleship is always discovery-based (people encountering God themselves through the Word of God and the Spirit of God) and obedience-based (rather than the accumulation of knowledge). Both of these together draw people into a personal, experiential, love relationship with God.
