To Know God - 260202

The episode 'To Know God' on *Let God Speak* argues that a genuine, trusting relationship with God is only possible when we accurately understand His character—revealed through Scripture. Host Rod Butler and guests Harold Harker and Gail Fong explore how God’s attributes—omnipotence, omniscience, justice, mercy, patience, forgiveness, holiness, and unchanging love—are not abstract ideals but the foundation of a personal, intimate friendship with Him. Drawing from key biblical passages, they emphasize that God is not a distant, fearful judge but a loving, relational Creator who initiated salvation by sending Jesus while we were still sinners. The discussion reveals how Satan distorts God’s character in both ancient deception (Genesis 3) and modern media, portraying Him as vengeful rather than gracious. The hosts warn that believers themselves misrepresent God when their behavior contradicts His nature, making consistency in love, forgiveness, and humility essential. Ultimately, the Gospels—especially John—show that seeing Jesus is seeing God in full, tangible form: divine yet humble, eternal yet intimate, holy yet accessible. The episode closes with a clear invitation: pick up the Bible, start with John, and encounter the God who loves you first.
