“They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them.” Romans 1:19 NLT
There are three ways whereby you can know God is real and have a relationship with Him. (1) Intellectual knowledge of God. “They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God” (vv. 19-20 NLT). (2) Subconscious knowledge of God. “Even the Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either cause them or tell them they are doing right” (Ro 2:14-15 NLT). (3) Personal knowledge of God. “At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2Co 5:16-17 NLT). God reveals himself to us through a certain creation. He speaks to us through our conscience and reveals His moral character and requirements. But beyond that, we can know God personally and have a relationship with Him through His Son. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (Jn 8:12 NKJV). There is one sure way to satisfy yourself that God is real–flip the switch!
