 Welcome to

A. Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

Old Testament: God dwelt before His people Gospels: God dwelt among His people Now: God dwells in His people Heaven: God dwells everywhere Across time, God has moved closer to us

Ocean Bowl of Soup 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 “but just as it is written, ‘THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.’ For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.”

How do we get to know God better? Bible Other Christian’s Teachings Your Own and Other People’s Experiences Including Biographies Nature Reason

Why is it important to know God better? The better we know God the bigger He will be We were designed for a relationship with God Intimacy is God’s desire We can become more like God because we see it in God first

We will trust God more As we deepen our understanding of God it will deepen our relationship with Him and so strengthen our prayer life and our desire to read the Bible As we understand more who God is it will deepen our worship As we know God better it will motivate us to evangelize more

You will be more motivated to go to church It creates a correct and proper self-image It creates right relationships

Division of Attributes Metaphysical, Incommunicable (does not exist in people), Absolute The Eternal God The Immutable God The Omnipotent God The Omniscient God The Omnipresent God The Holy God The Sovereign God

Moral, Communicable (does exist in people), Comparative The Divine Love The Divine Faithfulness

The first lie: God is not what He says He is. We can shape God into whatever we want. God is infinite in His immensity and also infinite in the perfection of every detail. God functions as one.

The wicked try to conform God to what they want Him to be and when they cannot twist God any further then they deny Him. Ps 10:1, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” As Christians we no longer have to twist God to justify our sin, but, rather, we know that we are forgiven and so can strive to become more like God.

Hosea 6:3 “So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
