We know God is our God through our faith, the evidence of His care in our lives, and our confession of Him as Lord.
The psalmist in Psalm 42 declares, 'who is the health of my countenance and my God,' which reflects both a personal confession and experiential proof of God's faithfulness. Knowing God as our God isn't based merely on a theoretical belief but is deeply rooted in our lived experience of His love, provision, and discipline in our lives. Like a child's recognition of their parent through care and provision, believers identify God’s active role in their lives as evidence of His fatherly relationship. It is this personal acknowledgment and evidence of His presence that confirms for us that God is indeed our God.
