The Handiwork-What Is Behind It? - Getting to Know the Creator

The above noted systems are just basic examples of the Creator's handiwork, but do they not reveal him to be a real and intelligent person whose qualities and ways draw us to him?  Numerous other examples could be considered. We have probably found in daily life, however, that merely observing a person's work may not really be enough for us to know him well. It would even be possible to misunderstand him if we did not gain a complete picture of him!  And if  that person has been misrepresented or maligned, would it not be good to meet him and hear his side?  We  might converse with him to find out how he reacts under different circumstances and what qualities he displays. 

Of course, we cannot have a face-to-face conversation with the powerful Creator of the universe. Yet, he has revealed much about himself as a real person in a book that is available, in whole or in part, in more than 2,000 languages, including yours.  That book-the Bible-invites you to get to know and cultivate a relationship with the Creator.  "Draw close to God, " it says, and he will draw close to you."  It also shows  how it is possible to become his friend.   (James 2:23; 4:8)  Would you be interested in that? 

To this end, we invite you to consider the Creator's  factual and fascinating account of his creative activities.
