The Bible has a lot to say about living a wise life that will bring great joy, but first and foremost it introduces us to the God who is worthy of the love and affection of our whole hearts. The Bible’s first verse introduces him, and the whole of Scripture is a testimony to his character, glory, love for his people, and plan to redeem a people for himself.
The only way for us to know God is for him to reveal himself; we are not going to climb up and pull him down. He must disclose himself to us. He has done this generally in creation. Romans 1 says that we can look at the world which God has made and see something of God’s power and glory–yet, it is in the pages of Scripture that we see God the most clearly.
