Know God, Know Jesus - Know Jesus, Know God

The facts that Jesus has always existed and also became fully human tell us something about God's character - that He is eternal, that He loved us enough to humble himself, and that he deeply desires a relationship with us. In these ways, Jesus perfectly showed us what God is like. If we are going to "be like Jesus", we need to know the character of God so that we can reflect it, just like Jesus did. How do we know what God's character is? By having an active relationship with him - just like we have with our friends or family. We talk to them throughout the day, we ask questions to get to know them better, we pay attention to what they like and don't like. Getting to know who God is isn't just something to check off of our "to do" list. It's reminding ourselves that we are always in his presence, and so can always be talking with him and learning about him.
