In his classic Knowing God, J. I. Packer uses a study in Daniel to identify four measurements that help determine whether we actually know God (see appendix). These by-products of godly vision can be measured on four scales:
Amount of energy for God. Those who really know God have great energy for him. How much energy do you have for him?
Greatness of thoughts about God. Those who really know God have great thoughts about him. What are our thoughts about God like?
Degree of boldness for God. Those who really know God demonstrate boldness for him. How bold are you?
Level of contentment in God. Those who really know God find great contentment in him. How content does your relationship with God make you?
