Knowing God Quotes

Knowing God without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride. Knowing our own wretchedness without knowing God makes for despair. Knowing Jesus Christ strikes the balance because he shows us both God and our own wretchedness. Blaise Pascal
God is not honored by groundless love. In fact, there is no such thing. If we do not know anything about God, there is nothing in our mind to awaken love. If love does not come from knowing God, there is no point in calling it love for God. John Piper
In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that-and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison-you do not know God at all. C. S. Lewis
In all of knowable reality, God is unique. He is knowable not like the multiplication table or the table of elements; he alone is knowable as the one totally in control of being known. He is not at the disposal of the human mind. He is known when he wills to be known. Yet he is known in and through created reality, which is known naturally. Therefore the glory of God is exalted most not when we know God apart from observation and reading and study, but when we know God as a result of his free... John Piper
Since love of God is the highest felicity and happiness of man, his final end and the aim of all his actions, it follows that he alone observes the divine law who is concerned to love God not from fear of punishment nor love of something else, such as pleasure, fame, ect., but from the single fact that he knows God, or that he knows that the knowledge and love of God is the highest good Baruch Spinoza
The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God. Paramahansa Yogananda
The terms which, in his inmost heart, each man knows. As I know mine. As all know. For that is the truth of it? that we all know, God, that we know, that we know, we know, we know. Saul Bellow
He believed in God even if he was doubtful of men's claims to know God's mind. But that a God unable to forgive was no God at all. Cormac McCarthy
Paulo Coelho quote: "Anyone who knows God cannot describe Him. Anyone who can..."
Anyone who knows God cannot describe Him. Anyone who can describe God does not know Him. Paulo Coelho
Yet if we would know God and for other's sake tell what we know we must try to speak of his love. All Christians have tried but none has ever done it very well. I can no more do justice to that awesome and wonder-filled theme than a child can grasp a star. Still by reaching toward the star the child may call attention to it and even indicate the direction one must look to see it. So as I stretch my heart toward the high shining love of God someone who has not before known about it may be... Aiden Wilson Tozer
Theodore Bikel quote: "I do not know who there is among us that can claim to know..."
I do not know who there is among us that can claim to know God's purpose and God's intent. Theodore Bikel
The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience. Muhammad Iqbal
To know God better is only to realize how impossible it is that we should ever know him at all. I know not which is more childish to deny him, or define him. Samuel Butler
We all seem to get this idea that, in order to be sacred, we have to make some massive, drastic change of character, that we have to renounce our individuality. To know God, you only need to renounce one thing - your sense of division from God Elizabeth Gilbert
Leo Tolstoy quote: "To know God and to live is one and the same thing. God is life."
To know God and to live is one and the same thing. God is life. Leo Tolstoy
