How to Really Know God Bible Minute

Some of the people who know the most about the Bible don't know the God the Bible talks about. The problem is many people are head smart but aren't heart smart. They know all the facts, but that isn't enough. You can't know God by knowing all the facts in the Bible; it takes more than that--it takes putting faith to the facts.

What Does God Say?

Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are his.
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture ( Psalm 100:3, NLT).

Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the LORD Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other ( Deuteronomy 4:39, NKJV).

O God, you are my God;
I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
where there is no water ( Psalm 63:1, NLT).

You don't have enough faith,'" Jesus told them. "'I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible ( Matthew 17:20, NLT).

• Why is it important that we acknowledge God?
• What does it mean to know Christ?
• Why is it so important to have faith in God?

My Thoughts

Faith is trusting in the facts of the Bible. It's not enough to have head knowledge of the Scriptures. We must turn that into heart knowledge. Just knowing the facts isn't going to get you into heaven; you have to believe in the God you read about in the Word. To truly know God is not just to know about Him but to surrender your life to Him.

My Part

If you have not surrendered your life to Him-go to our "Meet Jesus" page on our Web site. If you've made that decision, then you need to develop a relationship with Him. How do we do that? We develop a relationship with Him by spending time with Him through prayers and reading the Bible. Make sure that you are spending time each day in prayer and in the Scriptures so you can get to know God more deeply.
