Can God be known?
Yes, He can be known. And the only way to know Him is through Jesus
Christ, His beloved Son, for in the Gospel according to John it is
written that the Son “has made him known” (John 1:18 – NIV).
You will ask then: ‘What must I do to know God through Jesus Christ?’
Well, you must repent of your sins and believe that Jesus Christ died
on the cross for our sins and rose again for our justification.
I came to know God through His Son in the summer of 1983 while I was
in Great Britain. One night under a tent of evangelization after I
heard about Jesus Christ I repented of my sins and believed in Him and
thus I obtained the remission of sins and eternal life; it was then
that I knew God, that I tasted His love and His goodness.
Therefore, in order to know God one must repent of his sins and
believe in Jesus Christ, that is to say, he must recognize that he is
a sinner before God and feel sorry about his sins and believe that
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose again the third
day. By doing these things a man comes to the knowledge of the only
true God and of His Son Jesus Christ, who sits at His right hand in
the highest.
Therefore, I say to all those who don’t know God: ‘Humble yourselves
before God, acknowledge your sins before Him and be sorry about them
and forsake them, and believe in Jesus Christ’. I assure you that you
will become a new creature immediately, and you will know Your
Creator, His love and His goodness.

Is Jesus Christ truly God?
Yes, He is.
He Himself declared that He was God when He said to the Jews: “Before
Abraham was, I am” (John 8:5 , and also when He said to them: “I and
my Father are one” (John 10:30). Jesus proved that He was God in that
He forgave men their sins and such a thing can be done only by God, as
it is written: “Bless the Lord, O my soul …. Who forgives all your
iniquities” (Psalm 103:2,3 – NKJV). When Jesus forgave that paralytic
his sins, the scribes and the Pharisees thought to themselves that
Jesus was blaspheming because sins can be forgiven by God alone (Mark
2:7) while Jesus was a man like them. However, the fact is that they
did not know that besides being a man, Jesus was also God. He was the
Word made flesh, and since in the beginning the Word was with God and
was God, the Word was God even after He was made flesh (John 1:1-2,
14). The Word did not cease to be God after He became a human being
with a body made of flesh and bones, but He continued to be God.
The apostles believed and taught that Jesus is God, for Paul calls Him
“God blessed for ever” (Romans 9:5) and “our great God and
Saviour” (Titus 2:13 – NIV); Peter calls Him “our God and Saviour” (2
Peter 1:1 – NIV), and John calls Him “the true God” (1 John 5:20).
To Him be the glory now and forevermore. Amen.
