The Bible says to “love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37).Even those who know little to nothing of God can learn of Him through nature and human experience, as well as evidence from Scripture. A general revelation of God to the heart is also given to those who have no access to the Bible (Acts 17:23; Romans 2:14, 15). If any of us want to find and know God, we must seek Him with all our hearts (Jeremiah 29:13). JTLD 109.2

Our primary knowledge of God comes from the Incarnation—Jesus coming from heaven to earth to reveal what God is like to a world largely clueless about His character of love. Only Jesus could reveal the Father because He is the Father’s express image (Luke 10:22; Hebrews 1:3). JTLD 109.3
