To Know God

No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. -John 1.18

God exists outside of time, and has eternally existed. He has no beginning or ending. He has no creator, but is the creator of all things. God is eternal. He is perfectly righteous and holy. To the finite human mind, God is beyond comprehension. No one has seen God at any time because He is God. The Old Testament says that no one can see God and live (Ex. 33.20). Enter Jesus.

The Word, who was with God and was God (Jn. 1.1), became flesh and dwelt among us, explaining God to man. One who intimately knows God on a level that is impossible for humanity to ever understand has come to reveal and explain God to man. Only God can explain God, and man can only understand man. So God became man to show humanity was He is like. In Jesus man sees who God is.

The only way to know God is through Jesus. Everything that is true of Jesus is true of God because Jesus is God. To know God, we must know Jesus. Man cannot get to God, and man cannot comprehend God, but man desperately needs God. God solved this by becoming man so that man could not only begin to understand Him, but also enter into a relationship with Him.

TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!
