How can I know God?
I can know God by the power of the Holy Spirit through his resurrected Son, Jesus.
There are many different religions in the world today. There are many names for their gods, and many beliefs on what following those gods might look like. You only need to listen to the lyrics of the latest hit song, watch a celebrity’s video, or sample a popular podcast to find people offering their opinions on what God is like.
Have you ever wondered how or even if it’s possible to really know God? The one true God of the Bible?
We learn what God is like by getting to know Jesus. And you can establish or deepen your relationship with Jesus by reading about his words and actions in the Bible and by connecting with him in prayer. The Bible is clear—the Holy Spirit will show you what Jesus is like. Jesus invites you into a vibrant and authentic relationship with him and with God. The one who created everything, including you, invites you to spend time with him.
And this relationship with God through Jesus will not only give you wisdom and guidance for how to live your life or guide you into fulfilling your eternal purpose, it will give you unquenchable joy! God gives his Holy Spirit to those who know Jesus so that they can have joy.
After his death and resurrection, Jesus promised his disciples that the Holy Spirit would never leave them. We can trust that his promise is for us, too.
Ask God to fill you with his Spirit today.
