The God Who Speaks for Himself

How can we come to know the sovereign God of the Bible? We can’t see Him, hear Him, taste Him, touch Him, or smell Him. God is invisible. More than that, He is incomprehensible.

This really is about the most fundamental question a human being can ever ask: How can I know God? How could we, a small fragment of creation, in such a small window in time, ever expect to know the glory of the Creator who is eternal? Is that even possible?

Imagine an American bringing their hairdryer with them on a trip to the UK. They find an attachment that converts the prong shape and they plug it into a 240-volt electric socket. Do you know what would happen? It would fry! Why? Because their hairdryer is designed for a 120-volt electric supply. Unless they use a voltage adapter, the hairdryer would be overwhelmed.

In the same way, if you were to take all the power and glory of the eternal God and communicate it down to our little brains, exactly the same thing would happen! A storm of thunder and lightning is overwhelming to us. How much more the glory of our awesome Creator?

How do you answer the question: “How can I know God?”
