Reflection Paper One

I learned a lot that day, from what is the bible, what the bible speaks of, how the bible is inspired
by God. What struck me the most in the lecture is about the ways to coming to know God; But
earlier that lesson we were asked if we can know God naturally, I unfortunately did not answer in
this question, but I also formulated my answer and for me, we cannot know God naturally it is
not like we are born able to comprehend or understand our family or situation. In my experience
I was exposed to Catholicism and to God at an early aged because my mom was a religious
person, and I was thankful for that. I also appreciated my classmates answer because they helped
me understand their point of view and expanded my understanding. Back to what I’ve learned,
we can know to God through the physical world and as a human person. Based on my
understanding on knowing God in the physical world is when we became aware how us on world
or universe is created by God. When we start to see things more clearly, we can appreciate the
beauty God created for us. In this very same Earth that we breath in and out is the same world
where God is the origin. Next is as human person we should open ourselves to God and we can
come to understanding of Him. We may not be able to see Him or hear Him but we know Him,
and this is where or faith is most necessary we need to stay connected to Him and be able to
really bond with Him. Faith also serves as our loyalty to Him.
