Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace:
thereby good shall come unto thee" (Job 22:21). "Thus saith the Lord,
Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty glory
in his might, let not the rich glory in his riches: But let him that
glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth, and knoweth Me, that I am
the Lord" (Jer 9:23,24). A spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the
greatest need of every human creature.
The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a
clear mental apprehension of His perfections as revealed in Holy
Scripture. An unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor
worshipped. In this booklet an effort has been made to set forth some of
the principal perfections of the Divine character. If the reader is to
truly profit from his perusal of the pages that follow, he needs to
definitely and earnestly beseech God to bless them to him, to apply His
Truth to the conscience and heart, so that his life will be transformed
thereby.
Something more than a theoretical knowledge of God is
needed by us. God is only truly known in the soul as we yield ourselves
to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all the details of our
lives by His holy precepts and commandments. "Then shall we know, if we
follow on (in the path of obedience) to know the Lord" (Hosea 6:3). "If
any man will do His will, he shall know" (John 7:17). "The people that
do know their God shall be strong" (Dan. 11:32). - from The Attributes of God by AW Pink.
