A.W. Tozer argues that most people treat God as an inference or ideal rather than a reality to be personally known. He distinguishes between knowing about God through deduction or hearsay and knowing God through intimate, personal experience facilitated by spiritual faculties awakened by the Holy Spirit.
Tozer asserts that God is knowable just as we know physical things or other people, citing biblical commands to “taste and see” and “hear His voice.” He contends that the fear of God is not merely terror of punishment, but a profound worship and love that recognizes God’s absolute reality. Consequently, Tozer teaches that true wisdom comes not from scholarly study of “shattered fragments of truth,” but from direct communion with the Holy God, who gives meaning to all existence.
A.W. Tozer’s teachings on “The God You Know but Have Never Met” caution against settling for second-hand facts about God. He urges believers to move past a merely intellectual understanding and press into a living, experiential relationship with God, as demonstrated in the scriptures below.

| 8 | God’s Greatness | Psalm 145:3 | “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.” |
| 9 | Holy Stillness | Psalm 46:10 | “Be still, and know that I am God…” |
