Lesson Introduction

Within all of us, there exists a strong desire to be known. And to know others. More importantly, there is a void in every individual – a quest to know their creator, even if they are not professed believers in God. The Apostle Paul expressed his desire to truly know God (Phil. 3:10). It is, therefore, important to address the issue of seeking and truly knowing God.

Lesson Aim: To teach the students how to truly seek and know God.

a. Understand that there is a part of man that longs to know his/her creator.

b. Know ways to seek God.

a. Allow the students to recite the memory Verse, read the Bible Passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities, and assignments.

Lesson Outline 1: Seeking God is Inevitable

A. Our desire to seek and know more of God is the essence of true life (Jn 17:3; Jer. 50:4).

B. The thoughts of God should be paramount in our minds because they will determine the value and direction of our lives ( Ps. 48:9; 63:6).

C. Seeking God, then, is an ongoing responsibility and privilege for all Christians (Job 5:8).

D. Therefore, the Scriptures admonish us to seek God:

I. Wholeheartedly ( Deut. 4:29).

ii. Early in life (Ps. 63:1; Eccl. 12:1).

iiii. Continually (Ps. 105:4).

iv. With joy (Ps.70:4).

v. By prayer and supplications.

vi. With fasting (Dan. 9:3).

viii. Through His righteousness (Matt. 6:33).

viii. By studying His word ( John 5:39).

E. Assuredly, those who seek God under the conditions stated above shall:

I. Find Him. (Jer. 29:13).

ii. Be satisfied ( Matt. 5:6).

III. Understand all things (Prov. 28:5).

iv. Not lack any good thing (Ps. 34:10).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: The class should mention other ways through which we can seek God.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: Keys To Truly Knowing God

A. In an attempt to know God, we must :

I. Receive Jesus Christ into our lives (Jn. 1:12): Jesus makes it clear that he alone is the way to Heaven and personal knowledge of God. (Jn. 14:6-9).

ii. Understand that the Bible is God’s word and a revelation of Himself, His promises, and His will ( Jn. 1:1; Ps. 119:105). The Bible is essentially a love letter written to us from a loving God who created us to know Him intimately (2 Tim. 3:14-17).

III. Be committed to obeying what we read in the Scriptures ( Titus 1:16; Jn. 15:14). We were created to do good works (Eph. 2:10). Not only must we read and understand God’s word, but we must also apply doctrines obediently and remain faithful (James 1:21-22).

iv. Be committed to prayer, personal devotion, and fellowship with brethren (Heb. 10:25). and, always worship God in spirit and in truth (Jn. 4: 23-24).

v. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us always ( Romans 8:14; 26-27).

B. Then, our lives can be filled with God, and we can experience knowing Him intimately.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Students should share with the class keys that have increased their knowledge of God.

SUMMARY: Seeking God is Inevitable, and there are ways to truly know God.

CONCLUSION: If we genuinely hunger and thirst to know God, He will reveal Himself to us.

EVALUATION: Students should state the key to truly knowing God.

CLOSING PRAYER: Father, empower me to pay the price to truly seek and know You.

ASSIGNMENT: Prayerfully follow the guidelines in today’s lesson and work on Yourself to seek God daily (No Mark).
