Though it sounds so simple, understanding the true nature of God can be very challenging. Many of us were raised with false perceptions of God – inappropriate and incomplete. Unfortunately, those views caused us to act in certain ways, most of which were ungodly. In this study we will learn a few of the problems connected with false views about God and how to make sure we know the real God.

God has been misrepresented

• Romans 2:17-24 - Hypocrisy in religion has turned many away from the real God
• Matthew 23:1-4 - Ungodly authorities can cause us to view God in similar ways
• Deuteronomy 4:4-8 - Those who could have taught us did not, or they did it incorrectly

We were led down a wrong path

• John 4:21-24 - We didn’t know what the Bible said
• 2 Timothy 4:1-4 - We were looking for the easy way, not the right way
• Proverbs 14:15 - We were too simple and believed things too quickly and easily
