If a person should Truly want to Know God
Back in the 17th century a cult formed in England known as “Deist” who rejected the beliefs of orthodox Christianity and held that yes, God created the world but then left it to operate under natural laws. Among their views was the concept that human wisdom opens to an understanding of God, that He was/is not revealed to man by divine revelation. Romans chapter 1 does say that the natural world gives evidence of the existence of God, but that evidence was/is rejected by man. Ephesians 2:1-10 (posted on our cover page) among many other passages explain the reason for such rejection. Man is spiritually dead toward God. God must reveal Himself to man. Turning to the book of Hebrews we read: “1:1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.”
God has indeed revealed Himself to man. To Israel of old He revealed Himself through the testimony of His prophets, His messengers. Today, in this dispensation He has reveled Himself through the words and deeds of Jesus Christ. If we truly want to know God, a good starting would be reading through the gospels and then the 23 books that follow.
