What does the Bible say about the knowledge of God?
Answered in 4 sources
The Bible teaches that true saving knowledge of God comes through Jesus Christ, who is the mediator between God and man.
In the Gospel of John, particularly in John 17:3, Jesus states, 'This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' This emphasizes that genuine knowledge of God is not merely intellectual; it is a relational understanding that is rooted in a personal relationship with Christ. The knowledge of God encompasses knowing His character, His will, and ultimately His love as revealed in Jesus.
