How can we really know God? The answer starts with the fact that God knows us, and allows himself to be known by us. He has spoken to us and told us what he wants us to know of him. Not only can we know about him, but we can also know him when he draws us to himself and makes us his children through Jesus Christ. Theology is the word we use to refer to what we know about God. It can be used in a number of distinct though related ways. It does not have to be complicated.
