5 Things To Know About God (J.I. Packer)

To know God, what are some basic foundational principles we need to know?

In Knowing God (1973), chap. 1 (The Study of God), J.I. Packer lists five basic truths we need to know:

1. God has spoken.
2. God is Lord and King who rules all things.
3. God is Savior.
4. God is triune.
5. Godliness means responding to God's revelation.

A major theme that Packer stresses is to note the difference between knowing about God and knowing God.
