How to Know God

Know God through creation and conscience. The created order of this world declares to all the glory of God. Creation declares the Creator (Romans 1:20). Also, God is revealed to you through conscience (Romans 2:15). God has made you moral agent to know the difference between right and wrong. Through conscience we know God's holiness and our sinfulness.

Know God through the Bible. It reveals who God is (John 4:24). He is fully revealed through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:1-2). If we want to know about God, we read the Bible. We read that Jesus is the revelation of God. He came to show God's love, mercy, and grace (John 1:16).

Know God personally through believing the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). God wants us to know how much he loves us. He knows we have done things that are wrong. We believe God sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins (I John 1:7). Jesus is alive! We confess Jesus our Lord is risen from the dead (Romans 10:9). The gospel reveals God's love to us personally through his only begotten Son (John 3:16).

Know God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He works in the heart of every believer, through the Holy Spirit. The heart is our inner-person, that is our mind, will, and emotions. The Holy Spirit reveals the truth of Christ to our hearts (John 16:7-11). The only way we personally know God the Father is through Christ the Son (John 14:6)
