Feb 18, 2022 · It is through the Bible that we know that God is “the King eternal, immortal, invisible,” worthy of “honor and glory for ever and ever” (1 Timothy 1:17). Truly knowing God also comes through our commitment to obey what we read in the Scriptures.

First, look to Jesus Christ. Jesus said in the Gospel of John 18:37, “For this purpose . . . I have come into the world — to bear witness to the truth.” Then in John 14:6 he said, “I am . . . the truth. . . . No one comes to [God] except through me.” Then in John 8:19 he said, “If you knew me, you would know [God].” You’d know who he is. Why? Becau...
Here’s the second place that I point you for a revelation of who God is: before Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, he said to those he had chosen to be his authorized spokesmen, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth” (John 16:13). In other words, not only did Jesus claim to speak the t...
Here’s the third place to look for who God is: Jesus himself and his followers pointed us to the Jewish Scriptures as a reliable revelation of who God is. The Jews call this book the Tanakh, which is an acronym for the Law (Torah), the Prophets (Nevi’im) and the wisdom Writings (Ketuvim). Christians call it the Old Testament. Followers of Jesus do ...
Here’s the fourth place to look for a revelation of who God is: look to the natural world, nature. Both the New Testament and Old Testament point to nature, and they say, “Look, if you have eyes to see; God is revealed there.” Who he is, is revealed there. Nature is not God, but God is the Creator of nature and reveals himself through nature. The O...
Here’s the fifth and final place to look for who God is — namely, look into your own heart, your own conscience. Now, I’m not saying you can dream up who God is out of the imaginations of your own heart and make him be anything you want him to be. A lot of people try to do that. That’s not what I’m saying. That will get you nowhere. What I’m saying...
So, when I hear the question, the absolutely essential question that I wish everybody in the world were asking with blood-earnest seriousness, “Who is God?” my first thought is this: John Piper is not a source of revelation. I am a voice crying in the wilderness, so to speak, like old John the Baptist, a pointer: Look! Look! I must decrease, but Je...
5 days ago · Nature reveals God’s righteousness and justice (Ps. 36:6). “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork” (Ps. 19:1). Every square inch of creation declares God’s greatness in every language twenty-four hours a day. David highlights the majesty of the sun (19:5, 6).
We see God most clearly and know Him most nearly through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9), and Paul says, “He is the image of the invisible God,” and “in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell” (Col. 1:15, 19).
May 3, 2019 · Christianity makes the radical claim, and represents the remarkable reality, that through Jesus Christ, and by his Spirit, we know and enjoy the true God. Two kinds of people populate our world: those who know God in Christ, and those who do not.
One of the intellectual giants in the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas, articulated five ways we can know of God’s existence through reason and what we observe in the natural world. For more than 700 years, these five ways have served as a starting point for those struggling to believe in God and looking for a way to seek Him.
