How does one get to know someone? You speak with them, find out about what they've done, accomplishments they've had, people they've dealt with, talk to people that know them and have dealt with them, perhaps read of them. It is said that at times one can find out who a person is by what they do or have done.
John 17:3 : ...This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has send."
Speak with God, get to know him and ask him who he truly is. Study about him. Find out all he's done for you, for the world. Think about his accomplishments: everything he could claim but he says we are his work and his glory. Does that say something about the importance of our mortal probation? Talk with people that perhaps know Him better. Listen to the inspired words of the people who know Him best. His hand-picked agents here on earth: prophets and apostles. Read his autobiography - the holy scriptures - and if it's not all an autobiography, it's a first-hand account, a biography from first-hand witnesses. And we, this very moment, are experiencing what he has done -- His creations and spiritual peace. Eternal life is more than knowing about him, it is knowing him personally. To know him is not an easy price... in fact it is very high and the chosen are few. BE THE FEW.
