Series: Are you there? ... It's me, God.

Week 4: Do You Love Me?

Series Introduction

God is knowable. He is not the impersonal, unknowable god of traditions like Hinduism or the New Age movement. Why can we know God? Because, he has revealed himself to us. God wants to be known by us. How has he revealed himself to us? He has revealed himself through creation, through the soul that he created in each one of us, through Jesus Christ, and through the Bible. So, how can we know God? By studying what he has revealed of himself. This involves both understanding who God is and developing a relationship with him.

This series will allow us to better know the God who we love and serve. Does it really matter if we know what God is like? In answer, we can ask, Does it really matter if we know our spouse, or our children, or our friends? Of course, it matters! We cannot develop meaningful relationships with others (including God) unless we increasingly come to know them better.
