You Will Come To Know God Better!

How do we come to know God better?

  1. Through prayer, especially as He speaks to us through prayer.
  2. Through the Scriptures. He is a Father who honors faith. Jesus said, "Come learn of me." God doesn't want us confused about who He is. He made sure that we were presented with a written record about Him and His plans.
  3. Through His church. He has set some Apostles, some Prophets, some Teachers, some Pastors, and some Evangelists to help us to know Him in His fullness.
  4. Through the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that when the Holy Spirit would come, He would speak to us about and reveal to us Jesus Himself. Without the Holy Spirit, it's impossible to know our Father.
  5. Through others. God lives His life through others. Jesus told His disciples to go make other disciples. You make disciples by them seeing your Father in you.
  6. Through good deeds. The Bible says that people will see our good deeds and praise the Heavenly Father. They praise God because the deeds are a reflection of Him.
  7. Through Kingdom resources. Joy, peace, patience, hope, confidence, assurance, forgiveness, love, encouragement are all resources provided out of His Kingdom. Financial provision and prosperity, spiritual gifting and anointing, and Christ-centered empowering and enabling are all resources from His Kingdom. When we live out of these resources and others see them actively at work in our lives, it is a reflection of our Father.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you!
