God's story and mine

Is God a distant deity or power, removed from the world, impersonal and uninvolved with the people He created? What impact does a God I cannot see have on my life and my world? Can we even know Him, and if so, how? 

God has indeed revealed Himself to the people He created. Creation reflects its Creator, with powerful, glittering waterfalls and immeasurable spiral galaxies declaring God's glory for all to see. 

God also spoke to mankind through human words. The Bible tells God's story of Himself and His great purpose for mankind. 

How does your story fit into God's bigger purposes for mankind? How can He redeem your life for His cause? How does He weave the distant past, your present and His glorious future together? God graciously put His eternal truth into a book we can read for ourselves. He wants us to know Him. He wants us to be a part of His ongoing story. His is the true story that matters most.
