NO ONE KNOWS THE FATHER EXCEPT THE SON AND ???????

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Matt 11:27 kjv

"My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." Matt 11:27 nlt

The regenerated believer is eager to know God/Yah. Every Sunday sermons are preached, and each week Bible studies are taught, expounding on the need to “KNOW GOD.”  DO YOU KNOW GOD?

Countless books are written, read and then put on the selfs at home and the shelves of Christian bookstores with the hope of discovering “the secret method” that will help us to really really KNOW GOD.

Some of us think that knowing God is found by spending more time in prayer and having  a more intimate relationship with God’s spirit and presence.

Some of us feel like we must increase our time spent reading the scriptures, which will help us better understand and know God's Word. 

Still others spend as much time as possible attending church services to praise and worship and adore their Creator, thereby having fellowship with Him, with the goal of getting to KNOW him!

While it is undeniable that prayer is an essential part of our relationship with the Father, is it the primary manner by which a person knows God?  And what about the scriptures? Certainly reading the scriptures are important, BUT does meditating upon them lead to knowing  the Father?  God dwells in the praises of His people, but does corporate worship and praise equal “knowing” God?
