“…Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God…” 1 John 4: 7 Have you ever desired to truly know God? Have you desired to know the one who made the stars, the heavens, and the universe? Is it even possible to know this God? Yes, yes it is! In 1 John 4 verse 7 it tells us that everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Knowing God is not about gaining academic or mystical knowledge. It is not about being born into a certain family or having a certain job.
Knowing God is about love. First, in order to know God you must know that he loves you. He loves you so much that he sent his son to live, die, and come back to life. Second, to know God you must love others based on this love that has been given to you. Today, rest assured that you in fact can know God. It does not take hours of intense study, special credentials, or money but it does take a commitment to believe in his love for you and a commitment to pour out this love to others. Get to know God today. He is waiting to show you love. Just ask him to!
