How can I get to know God?

Well, there’s good news and bad news. First, the good news:

• "God loves you" is no cliche. It is a deeply profound truth that will affect our lives in extraordinary ways if we come to understand it. We are valuable in God’s eyes. How incredible it is to realize that the infinite Creator of the universe knows us and cares for us! In fact, long before we ever had an interest in God, He came looking for us!

"The Son of Man came to look for and to save people who are lost." (Luke, chapter 19, verse 10)

"God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really die." (John, chapter 3, verse 16)
