Searching for the unknowable God

God is immaterial, he cannot be seen or touched. The first step is to look at things around us, look at things scientifically, philosophically, historically and morally

^{“19 ……}what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. ²⁰For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:19-20

Ask questions, question everything. If in the end, if reason or your heart or something else causes you to conclude that God exists then you have discerned something spiritually. Because reason itself requires that one can only say “God might exist”. For through reason alone we cannot say God doesn’t exist (atheism) or that God does exist. This is part of what the Bible means when it states humans are made in God’s image – that we look around us and recognise that God exists.
