Knowing God Part 2

...And if we don't truly know God, how can we truly believe and take to heart what he says? In one of his recent teachings, Josh White, one of the teaching pastors at Solid Rock Fellowship, commented on a big question that often lingers in a Christian's mind--the question, Why does the world not believe what I believe? The answer? Because we don't fully believe what we believe. 

If we, Christians, followers of Christ, don't truly understand and know who we serve, than we send out a mixed testimony to the world, and they, in turn, don't believe what we believe because we don't even know!

I call myself a Christian and I don't even truly know God? I know about him, yes. I know much biblical theology, yes. I know who the Bible says he is. I can pray to him, yes. Like a child to a loving Father, the Bible says I am supposed to know God. George McDonald says that "at the center of the universe is divine Fatherhood." We were made to have a deep-rooted, intimate relationship with God. And yet, I seem to reduce a compassionate Father who has called me his daughter and given me the right of being his firstborn to a theological symbol, a being that I cannot know on an honest, personal level.

So again I ask, do you know God?
