How can we learn about God?


 

One way of getting to know God is by observing the things he has made. For example, Jesus said: “Observe intently the birds of heaven, because they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses; still your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are?” Jesus’ point? We should not allow anxiety about our physical needs to stop us from serving God.—Matthew 6:26-33.
 

The best way to come to know Jehovah is by studying his Word, the Bible. Jesus called the Scriptures “the word of God.” (Luke 8:21) Jesus said to God: “Your word is truth.”—John 17:17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21.
 

Jesus helped people learn the truth about Jehovah. Regarding Jesus, one of his disciples said: “Were not our hearts burning as he was speaking to us on the road, as he was fully opening up the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32) To learn about God, we must be humble, willing to be taught. Jesus said: “Unless you turn around and become as young children, you will by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens.”—Matthew 18:3.
