At first, it seems impossible for limited human beings to know an infinite God. The good news of Christianity is that while we cannot climb to God, He has come down to us. Left on our own, we would only grope in the dark, speculating about the divine. But God reveals Himself through creation, Scripture, and supremely through Jesus Christ.
Creation gives us glimpses of God’s power and intelligence. The Bible provides His words, clarifying His character and will. Jesus, however, is God in flesh—making the invisible visible. As John 1:18 says, “No one has ever seen God; the only Son…has made Him known.”
Knowing God does not mean fully comprehending Him. Just as a child can truly know her father without understanding every detail of his life, we can truly know God without exhausting His infinite nature. Theologians distinguish between “comprehension” and “apprehension.” We cannot comprehend God fully, but we can apprehend Him truly.
Christianity affirms that God is personal. He wants to be known, and through Christ He invites people into relationship. We may never grasp everything about Him, but we can know His love, forgiveness, and presence. That kind of knowledge transforms life more than intellectual mastery ever could.
