We are told that He created all things, and that we have sinned against Him, further that we must repent and believe in Him, go on to love, trust, obey, follow Him. How can I love, trust, obey, follow someone that I do not know. Would we possibly apply this in our dealings with each other? The more we know about someone, the more we come to trust or distrust; respect or disrespect; love or have an aversion for. So with GOD, the more we know of Him, the more we love Him or hate Him. The more we desire to follow Him, or keep clear of Him. The more we wish to honor Him, or dishonor Him in disobedience. While God is described as UNSEARCHABLE, which means that we can not know ALL about Him, we CAN KNOW SOME THINGS ABOUT HIM. While He is described in the Bible as SPIRIT, we cannot see Him, yet much is revealed in His Word and creation of what His Person is. While He is PERFECT and we are IMPERFECT, He has made a way so we may approach Him. He has provided a MEDIATOR, a "go between", if you please. One that is described as a Savior, a Redeemer for sinful and imperfect man. Those are the three matters that we need to see clearly, as we proceed in this path. MARK THEM WELL! GOD
MAN
MEDIATOR
