Two questions asked by people of every nationality and culture for centuries are:
Does God exist?
Can I know him?
The Bible teaches that ” No one has ever seen God……..” {John 1:15]. And ” God is spirit” [John 4-24]. If no one has ever seen God and he is a spirit, then how can we know that he exists and how can we know him?
The Bible says: ” The heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the end of the world” [Psalm 19:1-4].
The world around us speaks to us every day and tells us that God does exist.
No intelligent person would look at an expensive Swiss watch and then deny that that watch had a maker. Rather, one would acknowledge that someone somewhere had designed and put that watch together.
Furthermore, the Bible says that: ” He {Jesus} is the image of the invisible God, the first-born over-all creation. For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible…..”[Colossians 1 :15,16]
How do we know That God exists and that we can know him?
1. The creation declares him
2. In the person of Jesus, God became a man
However, we know that God exists, and we can know him only by faith.
” And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” [Hebrews 11:6 ]
, When by an act of faith, we put our trust in God and his son Jesus Christ, we then have that faith affirmed in our hearts, and we know without doubt that God is, that he loves us and that we can know him.
May God bless you as you seek him today by faith!
