Having a full knowledge of God and his loving kindness is the very core of a believer’s life. There are many ways to know God and acknowledge him in a personal relationship with him. The Apostle Paul writes to the Romans about the intellectual knowledge of God.
Paul writes, “They know the truth about God because He has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities and His eternal power and divine nature. So, they have no excuse for not knowing God.”
Beyond scripture, people know God is real through personal experience, the design of the universe and faith. People often find proof in the peace, love, and purpose that come from living a spiritual life and trusting in God.
Having a full knowledge of God provides an inner conviction and helps you develop a moral sense of right and wrong, as well as a quiet internal guidance that comes when you have a personal relationship with him. Once believers recognize that God exists, they begin to see him everywhere. When King David wrote Psalm 19, he indicated that by looking upward to the heavens, we can see the handiwork of God.
So, what can we see when we look heavenward? We see the awesome handiwork of God. We see his creation in the stars and the sky. We see the proximity of the earth to the sun and the moon and how they are strategically positioned around the earth. It is important to know that this is not man’s creation but rather the mighty workings of a supreme God.
Ultimately, knowing God gives us the promise of eternal life, lasting inner peace, and a clear sense of purpose. The Bible teaches that true faith is an intimate experience rather than just an intellectual exercise. Faith grounds our spirits and gives us freedom from worry, knowing that God will provide us with the necessities of life. Unlike temporary pursuits like wealth or social approval, a life rooted in God’s love yields joy that does not fade.
By knowing God, you understand that he has a unique and good plan for your life. This is an important benefit that gives you assurance that your life is secure with him. Be blessed and Never Give Up! Never Give Up! Never Give Up!
