160110 PM How Do You Know God

How Do You Know God? We often stand at a distance from things we don’t know very well, whether it be people or situations.  On the other hand, when we are familiar with someone or something, we are much more open to form a deeper relationship or to put aside fear and inhibitions.  Let us realize how well our Creator knows us and appreciate that how we know Him will affect our eternity. A.  God Knows You       1.  Consider the wonder that the Master Designer has put into His creation (Ps. 139:14; Gen. 1-2)      2.  He knows the details of the working of His hand. (Matt. 6:25-32; Matt. 10:28-31)      3.  The heart and thoughts of man are no secret to Him (1 Cor. 4:5; Luke 16:15; Rom. 2:16)      4.  He knows our greatest needs (Eph. 1:3-4; Matt. 6:33-34)      5.  He shows Job how intimately He knows the creation He has made (Job 38-39) B.  Seeing God for Who He Really Is      1.  Do you know Him, are you seeking Him? (Acts 17:24-28; Heb 11:6)      2.  Consider the ______________________ of God!  (Rom. 11:33-36; Psalm 114, Exod.33:18-23)      3.  Appreciate His ___________________________! (Ps. 93:1; Ex. 15:11; 2 Pet.1:16-17)      4.  Take in the depth of His ______________________ (Ps.13:5-6; John 3:16-17; Ps. 57:9-11) C.  Now That I Know, What Should I Do?      1.  Understand the need to ____________________God for who He is (Rom 1:19-21)      2.  _______________________ (Ps.111:9; Heb. 12:28; Ps.111:10, 19:9)      3.  _______________________ (Hab. 2:20; Isa.25:1)      4.  _______________________ (Gal.2:20, 1 Cor. 9:16)
