Who is the Christian God?
WEEK 2 DAY 1 — GOD IS NOT A GUESS
Why Christianity Begins with Revelation, Not Speculation.
John 14:7 (ESV)
“If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Most people talk about God with confidence—but very little clarity.
Some describe God as a feeling. Others call Him a force. Some treat God like a helpful idea—comforting, flexible, and distant.
Here’s the quiet assumption behind all of it:
If God exists, we have to figure Him out.
Christianity confronts that assumption head-on.
The Christian claim is not that humanity searched hard enough to find God. The claim is that God refused to remain hidden.
Christianity begins with revelation, not human speculation.
In John 14, Jesus doesn’t invite the disciples to define God.
He tells them, “You already know Him—because you have seen Me.”
This is not philosophical language. It’s relational and confrontational.
- If Jesus is telling the truth, then God is not:
- a mystery reserved for the elit
- a concept shaped by preference
- a theory that evolves with culture
God is someone who steps forward and speaks.
Why This Matters
A guessed-at god can be reshaped when life gets hard. A revealed God stands firm when everything else collapses.
That’s why Jesus speaks these words on the edge of the cross. Fear is rising. Control is slipping. Certainty feels fragile.
And Jesus doesn’t say, “Try harder to believe.”
He says, “Believe in God. Believe also in Me.”
He anchors faith not in emotion, but in who God has shown Himself to be.
If God has already revealed Himself in Jesus, what are you still waiting to figure out before trusting Him?
The Bible does not say we climbed our way to God. It says God came looking for us.
As one early church father put it:
“God became visible so that we might learn who He truly is.”
If you want to know what God is like —how He responds to doubt, failure, fear, or shame— you don’t look inward. You look at Jesus.
Action Step
- Instead of asking, “What do I think God is like?”
Ask this once today—slowly and honestly: “Jesus, what does Your life show me about God?” - Read one Gospel paragraph. Watch His words. Observe His posture.
Let revelation replace assumption.
