God is accessable - He is able to be communicated with -known - understood
We touched on this last month a little bit. We can know God because He has revealed Himself to us in His word. We cannot know Him completely, but we can know Him as much as He wants us to know Him. We do that by searching the Scriptures and diligently seeking Him every day that we have life.
I will let the word speak on this subject...
Psalm 145:18 "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth."
Ephesians 2:13 "But now in Christ you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ."
Ephesians 2:18-19 "For through Him (Jesus) we have our access in one Spirit to the Father."(God) "So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household."
Ephesians 3:12 "(God) in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him." (Jesus)
Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
James 4:8 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you...."
Interesting verses. We certainly have access to God, but notice that our access is through Jesus Christ and the blood that he shed at Calvary on our behalf.
God is very specific about how we gain access to Him.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father (God) but through Me."
God is accessible because of His Son Jesus Christ.
