We live in a world full of voices, opinions, and information. But the most important thing we can seek is to know God. Not just to know about Him, but to love Him, walk with Him, and obey His Word.
The Bible says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). This is a serious warning. In this passage, the people and their priests had turned away from God’s truth. The priests rejected His teaching, and the people forgot His law. Instead of helping one another turn from sin, they encouraged one another to keep doing wrong.
This reminds us that knowing God is more than hearing His Word. We must welcome His truth and live by it. We should never excuse sin because it benefits us, and we should not let hidden sin pull our hearts away from Him. We also have a responsibility to teach our children His ways.
When we do not know God’s Word, we can be misled. A message may sound spiritual or make us feel good, yet still lead us away from the truth. A confident speaker is not always a truthful teacher. That is why we need to pray, read Scripture, and test what we hear.
We seek to know the one true God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—one God in three Persons. The Father is our Creator and loving Father. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord, and the only way to the Father. The Holy Spirit is our Helper, Teacher, and Guide.
How can we grow in knowing God?
- Read the Bible and take time to understand it.
- Pray each day and speak honestly with God.
- Listen to teaching that stays true to Scripture.
- Compare the messages you hear with God’s Word.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand and obey the truth.
- Put what you learn into practice, and share it with your children.
Our faith should not rest on trends, popular opinions, or feelings alone. It should rest on God’s Word. Knowing Him is not about collecting facts or winning arguments. It is about a relationship that changes how we think, speak, and live.
Let us seek God with all our hearts. Let us love the Father, follow Jesus, and be led by the Holy Spirit. Above all the voices around us, let us listen to Him. Knowing God is not just another goal—it is life.
