How Exactly Do We Know God?

Some people know God, and some just believe in Him. Knowing is belief beyond doubt. True confidence in the Lord comes to those who have moved beyond their doubts. When we defeat doubt, we can enter into a whole new relationship with God. We need to know beyond a doubt that He will truly help us. Like Job we need to confess regularly our belief that God can do anything.

“I know that You can do anything, and no one can stop You. You ask, ‘Who is this that questions My wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I. And I was talking about things I did not understand, things far too wonderful for me. (Job 42:1-2).

Jesus Christ is the answer to knowing God. Jesus stated that anyone who had seen Him had seen the Father (John 14:8-9). Similarly, “If you knew Me you would know My Father also” (John 8:19). Jesus is “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being” (Hebrews 1:3). The whole essence of the Christian revelation is that God is best seen in His Son.
