“How would you answer the question, ‘Where does personal Christianity begin?’ The average Christian would say it begins with accepting Christ as Savior and Lord. That is not true according to the Bible. Personal Christianity begins with the existence of an objective and infinite God.” (DeHaan- The God You Can Know)

I.  WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW?

         4. God is (Triune).
         5. Godliness means responding in a (life-altering) way.

II.  WHAT DOES CREATION REVEAL?

1. 1. 1. 1. Creation reveals a God who is (not like us).

         3. Creation reveals a God who is (personal).
