This lesson opens the “Introducing God” series with the truth that the highest pursuit in life is knowing God. Quoting Spurgeon and Tozer, it stresses that our understanding of who God is shapes how we live, obey, pray, and worship. Theology, the study of God, begins with creation and culminates in revelation—Scripture itself, God’s inspired Word. While creation points us to His majesty, only the Bible tells us definitively what He is like. The lesson highlights five benefits of studying God: wisdom, direction, fruitful living, courage, and security. Each comes not from information alone but from an intimate knowledge of Him. God Himself desires to be known—He “waits to be wanted.” Just as He invites us in Isaiah, “Come, let us reason together,” He calls us into relationship, offering refuge, strength, and joy in His presence. The ultimate encouragement is that the Creator of the universe not only allows us to know Him, but longs for us to pursue Him with holy desire.
