Since the Christian bible is all about God, reading the bible is the way to learn how to know God.  The very words in the bible, without any additional explanation, show the way to know God.

     The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God "  They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; there is no one who does good. (Psalm 14:1 NASB)

     Understand that I am He.  Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.  "I, even I, am the LORD, and there is no savior besides Me.  (Isaiah 43:10-11 NASB)  

     It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, (Hebrews 9:27 NASB)

     "Come now, and let us reason together," says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool." (Isaiah 1:18 NASB)

     But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:21-23 NASB)

     For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.  For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8 NASB)

     If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. (1 John 1:8-10 NASB)

      "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16 NASB)

     Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38 NASB)

     Let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ...there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:10-12 NASB)

     He said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"  They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." (Acts 16:30-31 NASB)

     THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. (Romans 10:8-10 NASB)
