How Do We Know God?
Belgic Confession Article 2
We know Him by two means: First, by the creation, preservation, and government of the universe; which is before our eyes as a most elegant book, wherein all creatures, great and small, are as so many characters leading us to see clearly the invisible things of God, even his everlasting power and divinity, as the apostle Paul says (Rom 1:20). All which things are sufficient to convince men and leave them without excuse. Second, He makes Himself more clearly and fully known to us by His holy and divine Word, that is to say, as far as is necessary for us to know in this life, to His glory and our salvation.
Psa 19:1-14; Eph 4:6; 1 Tim 2:5; Deut 6:4; Mal 2:10; 1 Cor 8:4, 6; 1 Cor 12:1
