“Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives.
As it would be cruel to an Amazonian tribesmen to fly him to London, put
him down without explanation in Trafalgar Square and leave him, as one
who knew nothing of English or England, to fend for himself, so we are
cruel to ourselves if we try to live in this world without knowing about
the God whose world it is and who runs it .The world becomes a strange,
mad, painful place, and life in it a disappointing and unpleasant
business, for those who do not know about God. Disregard the study of
God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life
blindfold, as it were , with no sense of direction, and no understanding
of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your
soul.”
― J.I. Packer, Knowing God
