Who is God and how do we know that the God that Christian’s follow is the true God? Join us as we explore these questions. We emphasize the need to go beyond surface-level knowledge and dig deeper into these questions to build a strong foundation of faith. We discuss the importance of going back to the beginning of scripture to understand who God is and where we fit into His plan. The conversation highlights the names and characteristics of God as revealed in the Bible. We also discuss the characteristics of God and why He created us. We mention that knowing Jesus is to know God. We are created in his image and are his handiwork, designed to do good works. Our purpose is to know God and make him known. We are crowned with glory and honor and are the crown of creation. God wants to be in relationship with us and takes pleasure in being with us. He created us for his pleasure and wants us to know Him individually. We are part of His family and have a purpose in his plan.TakeawaysUnderstanding the foundational questions about God and our place in His creation is crucial for building a strong foundation of faith.We should not take for granted the knowledge we have about God and our beliefs, but instead, dig deeper and seek to understand the why behind them.As believers, we need to be able to explain our beliefs to others and answer their questions about God and Christianity. God's existence and self-revelation can be understood through scripture.God has many names and characteristics that reveal His nature and character. We should not let our earthly experiences define our perception of God.We can seek God through Scripture and ask Him to reveal Himself to us.God wants to be in relationship with us and takes pleasure in being with us.We are part of God's family and have a purpose in his plan.
