At the start of his influential book, Knowing God, J.I. Packer explores some of the big questions about life and the meaning and purpose of our existence. He writes:
- What were we made for? To know God.
- What aim should we set ourselves in life? To know God.
- What is the “eternal life” that Jesus gives? Knowledge of God …
- What is the best thing in life, bringing more joy, delight, and contentment, than anything else? Knowledge of God …
- What, of all the states God ever sees [us] in, gives Him most pleasure? Knowledge of Himself.’
