The Personality of God

"We Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word. We have almost forgotten that God is a Person and, as such, can be cultivated as any person can." -Tozer

Words on a page are easier and less fearful than a relationship with the all-mighty, all-powerful God...and so much less fulfilling. Our heart's desire and life fulfillment is found in this relationship with this Person, not in a "relationship" with just His words. "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent" (John 17:3). This is the meaning of our life; not to know who God is but to fully know Him and be fully known by Him.

We tend to make unseen personalities unreal. But when we see them, they become real. This is why we  must see God through faith. This is the key to the testimony of Hebrews 11 (see verse 2). Having faith to see and therefore begin to know God as a Person.

In a relationship there is no end to the exploring. The more we explore, the more we know on another. The more we know one another, the more there is to explore. We truly are eternal beings made for eternal relationships.
