Why There is Knowledge of God

For Sunday School we learned about our Heavenly Father and how he is the father of our spirits and how he made the Earth and everything else. As we were discussing Heavenly Father a thought came to me... "This is why there is knowledge of god."

First off, God made the earth first before man. When he created man he created a man and a woman. He made himself known to Adam and Eve. God instructed Adam and Eve and gave them instructions and commandments. Because he made himself known, Adam and Eve taught their children about God and his commandments. If god did not make himself known to Adam and Eve they would not have taught their children about god.

Now, lets say god did not make himself known unto us ever. I think we would be brain dead to the world. we would be walking around vegetables or we would be like a wild animal. We would be like caveman. knowing very little but survival skills.

God created us and he has intelligence. He gives us intelligence to us. We have the technology we have because he gave man that intelligence. God gave each person a gift. That is why we Albert Einstein had an amazing intelligence level. That is why we have the knowledge we have about astronomy.

We have knowledge because god gives us knowledge. We know of God because he made himself known unto us. He made himself known unto us so that we can know who we are. We are his children. We can return back to him. That is why we know of God.

Satan distorts man to believing false things, like there is no God. He takes truth and twists it so there is little truth and little lies. If I were to believe a whole truth Satan can distort just a little to make it into a half truth or make a true thing seem false.

The whole truth is... God exists! All things testify of him. That is why God exists!

Well put. I hadn't given direct thought to the importance of God making himself known unto mankind from the beginning of this world. He wants us to know him, he always has.

I also hadn't given direct thought to the importance of
God making himself known. Good job Jake in your thoughts. It's so nice to know that no matter what the world dishes out, God has made himself known so we know we are not alone. I love YOU!
