Knowing about God is not knowing God. Most people know about God from things they have observed or heard. Our parents may have talked to us about God. We may attend church where a minister teaches about God. However, knowing about God is not knowing God.
Know God by a faith relationship. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"(Hebrews 11:1). You cannot come to God any other way. Because God is Spirit, you cannot see Him (John 4:24). Only faith can bring you into a relationship with God. Faith in God is trusting God (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Know God by faith through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me"(John 14:6). We know God by "looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith"(Hebrews 12:2).
Know God as you walk by faith. God becomes your daily companion. You can only walk with God by faith. "For we walk by faith, not by sight"(2 Corinthians 5:7). Faith assures you that God is with you, all the time and everywhere. Faith is the assurance that God hears your prayers. Faith is the evidence of knowing God.
