We understand that God cannot be seen by the eyes of man. God is Spirit (John 4:24). Those who live in unbelief cannot know God nor please God. They have made a choice to live in unbelief. By faith we know God; unbelief rejects God.
Unbelief may boast of intellectual superiority over those who walk with faith. Unbelief may even mock and sneer at those who walk with faith. Unbelief adamantly argues that the idea of God is myth and ignorance. Unbelief denies life after death. Unbelief is sure that this life is an accident with no real purpose.
Knowing God today is by faith. Those who have faith see creation that has a Creator. They know God who satisfies the longing of their hearts. They do not demand to see God. They know God through a personal relationship. Faith leads them to trust God, to call upon God, and rely upon God's help in life.
Faith comes always and only as a gift from God. The Spirit of God gives faith as an abiding gift. Look to the Son of God to receive faith, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Call upon Him. Ask Him to give you faith. He is the author of all true faith. Knowing God today is by faith.
