Curious Christian

We don’t come to know God merely by collecting facts or memorizing doctrines, though such truths can guide and guard us. We come to know God the way we come to know a friend, by walking with them, listening, watching, and responding.

The Bible doesn’t offer just a manual; it offers a story, a living testimony. And in that story, people come to know God not only through certainty, but through trust. Abraham steps out with a promise, not a plan. Moses learns God’s name in the quiet mystery of a burning bush. The disciples come to know Jesus not just by learning about him, but by living with him, sharing bread, enduring storms, making mistakes, being forgiven.

Propositional truth matters. But it finds its fullness not in abstraction, but in encounter. In Scripture, truth is not just declared; it’s embodied. It walks, speaks, forgives, and calls us by name.

Truth, in the end, isn’t only a set of statements, it’s a presence. A person. A path we are invited to follow.

We come to know God by doing God’s will, by loving what God loves, by showing mercy, by returning when we’ve wandered. It’s a slow, sometimes stumbling journey. But it is real.

Knowing God isn’t a destination to reach, but a relationship to remain in. It is abiding. Walking. Listening. Becoming.

And perhaps most mysteriously, it is being known.
