Can We Know God?

Can We Know God?     

   Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth" (John 8:32).   This includes the truth about God and that God exists.  The apostle Paul concluded that anyone who denies or refuses the knowledge of God is without excuse.  "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so they are without excuse" (Romans 1:19-20).

    Man is a rational being.  He knows that nothing comes from nothing.  He can know, from his observation of himself and the physical world and universe about him, that God is.  Indeed, it is foolish (irrational) to deny God.  "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God" (Psalm 14:1).

   God is there and he is not silent.  He has made himself known.  Look and listen.  Get to know God lest you hear him say at the Judgment, "I never knew you" (Matthew 7:23).
