To know the mind of God, one must first “believe that He is” (Hebrews 11:6), and that the reverence or fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10).
The greatest expression of love from the Father is the precious gift of his own dear Son, Jesus, to be the redeemer of mankind. In both word and action, Jesus revealed the mind of God. Jesus was “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). He spoke not of himself but as he received from his Father. John 12:49,” …the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment what I should say and what I should speak” (Also see John 8:28).
As one confesses his faith in God, and consecrates himself to do God’s will, only then is one prepared to receive the God’s truths. Jesus spoke clearly to his disciples, but to the vast majority of the people, he spoke in parables. Matthew 13:10-11 (NKJV) “And the disciples came and said to him, ‘Why do You speak to them in parables?’ He answered and said to them, ‘Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.’”
Many scriptures reveal our heavenly Father’s intentions toward his human family. For example, we read in Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows his handiwork.” The creation shows the mind and heart of our Creator. There is the beauty of the starry heavens and the warmth of the sun.
The glorious natural world is for all to enjoy – the animal life, and the infinite variety of plants, flowers and vegetation. This can only be the work of a being of great wisdom, mighty power, whose foundation is justice, and is surely a God of love. The Apostle Paul states that the invisible attributes of God (love, wisdom, justice and power) are “clearly seen” and understood by his creation (Romans 1:20).
We also see that God purposed from the very beginning of creation to have a family of sons who would share His divine nature. This would begin with His only begotten Son and those who would be his faithful disciples. After the body of Christ is complete, then the glory of the Lord will be revealed to all mankind. We all pray “Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14).
