Seems like it, eh?
Jesus says, “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:9-11)

Yes! but that is steal a Secret?, you may ask why, and that is a valuable question, so if we can establish a conversation about the reason behind such a secret, that I think it will be an interesting question for you, personally to do, your self to God, Though, and because the same so call secrets of Knowledge, (good and evil knowledge), It may work best if you go to the basic procedures, and call on Jesus, and then ask Jesus, personally, about the question you posted in Y, Q. & A. in my oppinion, don't loose faith, Perhaps alone tonight in bed, relax, just think and have Faith you may get more of what you are loking for to know?

God not only wants us to know He exists, but He wants us to know and love Him. It's within the individual whether to seek God or not. Most people in their lives have experienced a miracle in some form. It's up to the individual to discern if they know that was God's grace or just simply, fate. That's where free will comes in.

The answer is YES, since He revealed Himself to a lot of different people in the Old Testament and finally in His Son Jesus Christ. God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.

We will know of his existence when we are scientifically able to confirm it. As of right now, we don't have the technology to gaze into either a) alternate dimensions or b) alternate realities, so we're pretty much stuck at a point of agnosticism.

Yes, He is seeking those who are lost. He loved us before we love Him- He gave His Son for a sacrifice for our sin so that we can know Him as well.
There is a song that speaks of this so beautiful-
HE KNOWS MY NAME-
"We have a maker, He formed my heart- before even time began, our life was in his hands.
He knows my name, He knows my every thought- He sees each tear that falls, and hears me when we call."
Do you think that He would send His Son into the world to suffer for us if He did not want us to know Him?

Let see, no compelling evidence that he exists was left so I'd assume, that if he does exist, us knowing wasn't high on his list of priorities.

Had a problem with "want" and "us", so parted it out:
- God's elect: Not a matter of God's wanting, they WILL believe.
- The unregenerate: Doesn't matter, they will not believe, it's their nature to reject God anyway.

If we could prove that God was real we wouldn't need/have faith.
Oh and yes one day we will see God and know that he exists! :)

god gives us enought to believe in him. If he showed up before the last day, we would be FORCED to believe in him. God wants us to know and love him, because we want to, not because he forced us to.
