I once read through the Bible looking for the major practical principle in each book. I ended up writing a booklet on what I found. I’d be happy to send you a copy to help you in your reading. You can request it by emailing me, ludgolz@aol.com, or by clicking on the contact link in this website. The reason I encourage this is because God has revealed Himself through the Word of God so that we might get to know Him and establish a personal relationship with Him.

 

There is another, more preliminary way you can get to know something about God. It is called natural revelation. Paul refers to it in Romans 1:18-20, where he paints the tragic story of man’s depravity in graphic terms and with convincing logic.  With that said, Paul goes on to say that man has no excuse because “what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.” 

 

There is something about God everyone can know through natural revelation.  You can’t know all there is to know about God through natural revelation, but you can discover his eternal power and divine nature. If you know that, you have reason to bow and worship, and seek to know more.
