Getting to know someone can be an exciting and fulfilling experience. Whether it’s a new friend or a potential romantic partner, taking the time to learn about someone’s character, values, and beliefs can help you build deeper and more meaningful relationships.

When it comes to getting to know God, the process can be just as rewarding, if not more so. As the creator and sustainer of the universe, God is infinitely complex and multifaceted, and the more we learn about him, the more we can appreciate his greatness and goodness.

So how can we get to know God better? One of the best ways is to study the Bible, which is God’s inspired word and the primary means by which he reveals himself to us. In the pages of the Bible, we can learn about God’s character, his plan for humanity, and his great love for us.

Here are some key Bible passages that can help us get to know God better:

  1. John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This verse is often called the “Gospel in a nutshell” because it succinctly summarizes the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. It shows us that God’s love for us is so great that he was willing to sacrifice his own son to save us from sin and death.
  2. Psalm 139:1-18 – This psalm is a beautiful meditation on God’s omniscience and omnipresence. It reminds us that God knows us intimately, even better than we know ourselves. He is always with us, even in the darkest moments of our lives.
  3. Exodus 34:6-7 – When God revealed himself to Moses on Mount Sinai, he described himself as “merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.” This passage shows us that God is not only powerful and just but also compassionate and loving.
  4. Isaiah 40:28-31 – This passage emphasizes God’s sovereignty and power. It reminds us that God is the creator and sustainer of the universe and that he never grows tired or weary. Those who trust in him will renew their strength and soar on wings like eagles.
  5. Romans 8:38-39 – This passage reminds us that nothing can separate us from God’s love. Not even death or any other power in the universe can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. As you read and meditate on these passages, ask God to help you understand more about who he is and what he wants for your life. And as you continue to seek him, you will find that the more you know God, the more you will love him.
