How do I know God?
1 John 4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
We talk to the atheist, that God exists, and He does. They would ask, "have you seen Him?" Yes but not as you would assume! There are evidences that we see Him and know Him without physically seeing Him with our eyes. One day we will, soon. The evidence of a changed life, one that now loves his fellow man, us proof Gods Spirit is in us. Dont equate manipulations, lusts, hussles as love. Truely laying your life down, putting your brothers needs up there as important, as yours. Letting your life reflect Christs toward those around. This will never be done on our desires. You must invite Jesus into your life. His Spirit empowers us to go where He goes, to live as He lives.
