When must you learn to know God?

Answer

I must learn to know God now, when I am but a child (; ; ).

Read the 3 proof texts (KJV)
2 Timothy 3:14-15
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Ecclesiastes 12:1-2
1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 2While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
