Do You Know God?
Of course, you know there is a Supreme Being, the Creator and Upholder of all things. But do you know God, the holy and righteous God before whom you will stand some day? Do you know that He cannot look upon sin or allow the sinner to go unpunished? Can you look forward to meeting God calmly and without fear?
God has revealed Himself to us in His Son, Jesus Christ. Christ’s mission was to declare the heart of God, to make known His hatred of sin and His love for sinners. “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Because of the cross and the work accomplished on it, God is now shown to be “just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus” (Romans 3:26).
Do you know God in this way? “This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent” (John 17:3). All who know Him say: “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid” (Isaiah 12:2). But the great question remains, DO YOU KNOW GOD?
