Who Is GOD?
Who is GOD? What is GOD? Where is GOD? Universal questions
that have been asked and answered by people practically from the beginning of
time. Every people group has answered that question by giving names and powers
to fictitious beings to answer their questions about creation, nature, about
death and the good and evil of life.
In ancient times there were gods like Molech (Milcom), Baal,
Ashtoreth, Beelzebub, Chemosh, Ra, Osiris; then the Greeks, Romans and Vikings all
had multiple gods, today Indians have over a billion gods like Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma,
and Krishna; Muslims have Allah and Mohammad; the Japanese have the Shinto
gods; the Southeast Asians have the Buddha gods; and there are many more
ancient and modern gods; including satan (lucifer).
All of these gods are vastly different and opposed to each
other and the one True GOD based on the religious beliefs of the people that invented,
discovered or were introduced to them. Some of them are outright hateful and
evil in their treatment of their worshipers and non-worshipers alike.
So who or what is GOD? Actually, GOD is! There is only one
true GOD, I AM! The GOD that created everything that exists just by His Word;
the GOD who is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, immutable, invisible,
invincible, immortal, truth, light, life, love, peace, holy, just and
righteous.
The one true GOD reveals Himself to humanity by simply
stating that He is and that He created everything; including humanity in His
own image. In that declaration He reveals that He is triune in nature (The
Father {Jehovah}, The Son {Jesus Christ}, The Spirit {Holy Spirit}). Throughout
the Bible which is GOD’s instructions to humanity He reveals His personality
and attributes through His numerous names: Jehovah, El, Elohim, Yahwey, Adoni,
Christ (Messiah), Immanuel, Holy Spirit, Spirit of GOD, Son of GOD, Word of GOD
and many more; there are also many compound names of GOD like El Shaddai,
Jehovah T’sidkenu, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah and Elohim Chaseddi.
There is no other GOD like the one true GOD, to prove that
just do word studies of the names of gods of various religions. Then study the
names of GOD in the Bible.
The GOD of Judaism and Christianity is the only true GOD!
Jehovah is the only one who actually fulfills the definition of the title GOD.
Different religions give different definitions of who or what god is but, only
Elohim fulfills them all and only the Bible is the true revelation of GOD to
humanity.
There are religions that have books that their followers
adhere to but they were written by the person who is the founder of that
religion during their own lifetime. There are religions that claim to be
Christian but deny the divinity of Jesus or the tri-unity of the Godhead, or
the existence of hell or eternity, again their books were written by one person
in their own lifetime. Only the Bible which is a collection of 66 books that
were written by 40 men over a period of 4000 years that covers the history of
the world from creation to the recreation (from mortality to Immortality).
There is only one GOD and there is only one way of salvation
(not going to hell for eternity), the straight and narrow way is easy and hard.
Believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of GOD, that He died to
forgive the sins of humanity and went to hell to take our punishment upon
Himself (while He was there He defeated death and hell), He rose from the grave
and ascended to Heaven where He waits for the Church (Christians) to complete
the work of the Father in the earth. Believing is the easy part doing the work
of GOD’s will in the earth is the hard part.
While GOD created humanity with the ability to chose for
ourself (self will) the two decisions that matter are to believe in Jesus or
not believe in Jesus. Believing results in eternal life with GOD (Heaven), not
believing results in eternal life without GOD in torment (hell).
The choice is yours and only yours!
