># 1 Timothy 6:13-16 New International Version (NIV)

><center>13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.</center>

# God is the creator and giver of life.

># John 10:10 New International Version (NIV)

><center>10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.</center>

Seeking and Knowing God will find purpose, meaning, and satisfaction in life. Humans were created for relationship with God and relationship with one another. If we do not seek God, how can we know Him? How will we experience the life He gives? Apart from seeking Him, how will we understand His great love and our purpose? Because of the graciousness of God and the gift of free will, God does not force Himself upon us. He woos us to Himself. He pursues us, and we seek Him.

># Jeremiah 29:13-14 New International Version (NIV)

><center>13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.[a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”</center>

God created us so that we could seek and know Him better and through Jesus He has sought to restore us to Himself. He keep on reminding us to seek and know Him through His word. He invited us to go to Him day by day.

># Matthew 7:7 New International Version (NIV)
><center> "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.</center>

Jesus even prayed to all believers from the beginning, now and in the future. He really wants us to draw more closer, seek and know Him. God's only desires is to have intimate relationship to Him.

># John 17:20-26 New International Version (NIV)

><center>Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 
23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you[a] known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” </center>

># <center>We seek God because He has invited us to do so. Knowing God is a privilege. We seek Him through prayer, Scripture reading, worship, and fellowship. In seeking God we come to know Him better and we bring Him glory. </center>

># GOD BLESS!!!
