We know God through His self-revelation in Scripture and through the person of Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
Knowledge of God is revealed through His Word and ultimately through Jesus Christ, who is the perfect embodiment of God’s nature. In John 14:6, Jesus declares that He is the way, the truth, and the life, emphasizing that no one comes to the Father except through Him. Through His life, death, and resurrection, we gain insight into God's character, highlighting His grace, love, and justice. Additionally, it is essential to recognize that a true knowledge of God cannot be attained by human wisdom alone; it requires the divine illumination of the Holy Spirit to reveal spiritual realities to our hearts. Thus, God must make Himself known to us, enabling us to understand and embrace His nature.
