God says so.
God decided that you should know Him.
God decided how you should get to know Him. God decided, that only through the Son, by
faith, shall He be revealed. This
world’s religions want God without Christ.
There is no God without Christ.
Yet even when Jesus walked the earth, there
were many that brushed against Him and sat with Him, and yet did not recognize
the creator. It takes faith to see
God. And God decided that Jesus would
provide for us the image of God. The
true image of God is best revealed through Christ.
Colossians 1:15 & 2:9
“Who is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of every creature:”
Colossians 2:9
“For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the
Godhead bodily.”
Christ made Himself familiar to us, not that
through knowing Him we would continue on the path of waywardness, but that
through knowing Him we would choose to follow Him.
God allowed Himself to become familiar to us
through Christ, knowing that we could not understand the infinite. But God reveals Himself to us in Christ so
that we could know Him."
