can we know God?

It seems likely that most people in this world today would say, "yes, there is a God." A majority who would respond this way would not be talking about the God of the Bible.

The Bible does not offer proof of the existence of God....it assumes it.* That is because the Bible is God's letter to His people. It was written by God through a few chosen men on this earth within whom He placed His Spirit and the words He wanted to share with us.

God doesn't have to prove anything. He is God, He is eternal, He always has been and He always will be God.

He wrote a book for us that laid out His whole plan for mankind from beginning to end. We have God's word in our possession.......can you imagine that? That dusty old book lying over there on the shelf is the acutual word of God to us whom He created.

So yes, we can know Him. We can know everything about Him that He wrote about Himself in His word.

John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent."

The true and living God has revealed Himself to us in His word. He has put it out there for us. If we don't know God it's our fault.......God has done His part.
