Transcription

The starting point in knowing God is coming to grips with the fact that this is God's world. He's the creator and you're His creature. God made you. He made everything in this world and He made you and everything for His own glory. So if you want to know God, then you're going to have to start listening to God and believing what God says.

What God says about you, what God says about the world, what God says about himself. And what God says about you is that he made you in his image. And That's what makes you different from a dog. That's what makes you different from anything else in this world. You're a creature.

You were created just like everything else in this world that's not God. But you're different from all the other creatures because God made you in His image. And that is, you have responsibility. God created you

The starting point in knowing God is coming to grips with the fact that this is God's world, that He is the Creator, and that you are the creature. He made you and everything for His own glory.

If you want to know God, you are going to have to start listening to God and believing what God says about you, the world, and Himself.

What God says about you is that He made you in His image. You are different from all the other creatures. This means that you have a responsibility to represent Him in this world.
