Awareness of God begins with the foundational principle that believing what Jesus said about Himself, and what the Father said about the Son, is what constitutes genuine faith; rejecting these truths effectively calls God a liar, since God is true and everything He says is true. This forms the basis for understanding why so many who call themselves Christian lack a real relationship with God—they have absorbed a culture saturated with unreality, from childhood myths to movies that falsely portray life as neatly resolved, and this has washed over into how people perceive God Himself. Despite widespread religiosity, the Creator God is not real to most people; He is not consulted daily but only in desperation, as illustrated by the elders in Ezekiel's vision who supposed "the Lord sees us not" while practicing idolatry in private mental chambers. Yet God's awareness of His creation is so complete that nothing can be hidden from Him, even the private imaginations of the mind, a truth meant to be sobering rather than merely comforting. People often construct false images of God by over-emphasizing one attribute, such as mercy, while ignoring doctrine altogether, imagining He will accept any sincere, self-styled religion. Psalm 14 shows the fool's denial of God leads directly to corruption, and Paul's grief over Israel's zeal "not according to knowledge" illustrates that even religious devotion can be disconnected from reality. Many who pray daily are actually relating to a distortion of God rather than to Him as He truly is. Scripture itself, however, is presented as more reliable than even eyewitness testimony, because God's Word is truth unaffected by human limitation or perspective, unlike human accounts which are inevitably shaped by individual experience. The scoffing of both the irreligious and much of the religious world regarding Christ's return exposes this same lack of awareness of God, since ignoring His revealed reality is effectively calling Him a liar through willful arrogance. Ecclesiastes 8:11 explains why: because judgment is not immediate, people convince themselves they have "gotten away with it," much like a child who thinks he has escaped notice while being watched all along. True awareness of God requires humility, as Isaiah 2 makes clear—pride keeps people from seeking Him, and only when human loftiness is brought low will God be exalted and become real to the world at large. Ultimately, growing in awareness of God is tied to developing an active, daily, sacrificial relationship with Him, sought through prayer and study, so that His reality shapes one's life and produces genuine love and readiness for what He has said will surely come to pass.
