Knowing God
"Acquaint
now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto
thee." -Job 22:21
[KJV]
"Thus
saith the LORD,
Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty
glory in his might, let not the rich glory in his riches: but
let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth, and
knoweth Me, that I am the LORD."
-Jerermiah
9:23-24
[KJV]
A
spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the greatest need of every
human creature. The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a
clear mental apprehension of His perfections as revealed in Holy
Scripture. An unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor
worshiped. In this booklet an effort has been made to set forth some
of the principal perfections of the Divine character. If the reader
is to truly profit from his perusal of the pages that follow, he
needs to definitely and earnestly beseech God to bless them to him,
to apply His Truth to the conscience and heart, so that his life will
be transformed thereby.
Something more than a theoretical knowledge of God is needed by us. God is only truly known in the soul as we yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments. "Then shall we know, if we follow on (in the path of obedience) to know the LORD" (Hosea 6:3). "If any man will do His will, he shall know" (John 7:17).
