Who is GOD?


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!
