"HEAR O ISRAEL: THE LORD
OUR GOD IS ONE LORD"

DEUTERONOMY 6:4

INTRODUCTION

By what authority do we probe into the subject of knowing God? He has declared "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."-Isaiah 55:8,9

   Assuredly we are encouraged to know God-"But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul."-Deuteronomy 4:29

   Further in Deuteronomy 6:5 we are instructed to "love the LORD thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." How can we love the LORD if we do not know Him?

   Let us go forward then to discover what His word, the Bible, teaches us. Let our approach be with "full assurance of faith" (Hebrews 10:22) that we may know and love "the only true God." -John 17:3
