Getting to know God God created you because He wants a relationship with you. He loves you. He wants you to know Him personally and intimately, not just know about Him. through God's written word (the bible) and through His only son (Jesus). God reveals that He wants you to enjoy a life that it's in line with His purpose and destiny for you. He wants to be a nurturing and powerful presence in your life, not just an idea in your head. Knowing Him means receiving  His love. Following Him means following His leadership. And let's tell it like it is: Accepting that leadership will affect you lifestyle. As you come to know God, He no longer is a concept simply to believed or disbelieved; He is a living reality who is known  and followed along a path that leads to freedom.
