There's a difference between knowing the scriptures and KNOWING the scriptures.
There's a difference between knowing God and KNOWING God.
When we're immersed in the quality of selfishness, seeking only to benefit ourselves with no regard for others, then we're disconnected from God in quality. We may know the scriptures, but you don't actually KNOW the scriptures and we may know God, but you don't actually KNOW God.
KNOWING The Scriptures
The scriptures talk only about how our internal qualities will change from selfishness to bestowal, how we'll seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
When this happens - when we actually go through a personal internal transformation - when our internal qualities change from the quality of selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves) to the quality of bestowal (seeking to benefit others), then we'll KNOW the scriptures because we'll become the scriptures. We'll attain and personally experience what the scriptures talk about - our qualities will change from selfishness to bestowal and we'll seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
KNOWING God
God is the quality of bestowal/love of others/altruism. God is love and love is the quality of seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves.
When our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, we'll KNOW God because our internal qualities will become similar to God's quality. God is the quality of bestowal and when we become the quality of bestowal we'll connect to God in quality.
