The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word. We have almost forgotten that God is a Person and, as such, can be cultivated as any person can. It is inherent in personality to be able to know other personalities, but full knowledge of one personality by another cannot be achieved in one encounter. It is only after long and loving mental intercourse that the full possibilities of both can be explored.
Religion, so far as it is genuine, is in essence the response of created personalities to the Creating Personality, God. ’This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.’ (Joh_17:3)
