Knowing God

The Bible tells us very clearly that to "know" God is not an affair of the mind only, but an act in which our whole being - heart, mind, and will - is vitally engaged; so that sheer intellectual speculation would enable us to form certain ideas about God but never to know Him. To be grasped, God's will must be met with a readiness to obey.
