We know the true God through His revelation in Scripture, which He uses to teach us about Himself.
Knowing the true God is essential, and according to the sermon, it requires divine revelation rather than human discovery. The speaker emphasizes that we cannot find the true God merely through worship or religion but through the personal revelation of the Holy Spirit, as articulated in John 17:3, where eternal life is defined as knowing the only true God. This knowledge comes from God's Word, which serves as a guide to understanding His nature and character. Furthermore, in Psalm 115, the distinctions between the true God and false idols are made clear, with an emphasis on God's active role in the heavens compared to the impotence of man-made deities.
