1 Peter 1:21
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
We come to believe in God through Jesus Christ.
In Christ we see God for He is the express image of God. Any vision of God that is not consistent with Jesus Christ is an image of a false God. Christ is God so that we may know Him. The world's religions, even Judaism cast a god in their minds that is not true. Christ alone gives us a true image of God.
In Christ we have access to God. To attempt to reach God by any other means is to attempt to breach the walls of glory and is an offense to God much more than not reaching Him, that means rejects Him that much further.
It is in the resurrection of and then the glorifying of Christ we receive faith and hope in God. Look well to these events. Study them carefully. They are true faith and hope.
