GOD!

 GOD!

Here is the problem with most Christians today, some will read this and think how arrogant of me, some will agree with me and some will not understand what I am saying. None of these positions have anything to do with common sense or intelligence, they will be based on faith and understanding.

Faith in The One True GOD; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Understanding of Who and What GOD is through personal experience.

The first problem is that many if not most Christians do not believe in The One True and Living GOD, YHWH(ADONAI)-ELOHIM, (The LORD-GOD Creator) JEHOVAH-ELYON, (The LORD-GOD Most High), EL Shaddai (GOD Almighty); Emmanuel (GOD With US), YESHUA Mashiach (JESUS Christ); RUACH-ELOHIM (SPIRIT of GOD), RUACH ha-KODESH (HOLY SPIRIT).

With all these names, that are not actually GOD’s Name (we do not know it because the Hebrew people stopped using it for fear of offending GOD), no wonder people are confused and not able to have unrelenting Faith in GOD. Whole denominations have been established on using one of these titles and then used against any who use a different title for GOD. For this paper we are going to say that the title GOD represents all the names above, that there is only One GOD, The GOD of The Bible. If you cannot believe this statement then you can stop reading because there is only One True, Living, GOD. All the Scriptures are based on this fact, every Word of The Bible depends on our believing and understanding this one fact. Also, we will exclude any other religious or non-religious god, of which there are many. The title of god is referenced in The Bible for other demonic entities who represent themselves as god to people; Baal, Dagon and others.

For those who believe that there is only One GOD, that He is Eternal, that He created everything that exists (even the “man made” stuff), that nothing exists outside of Him, that everything good and bad He uses to accomplish His Purpose (Will) for all creation. That means that He will judge every person and every spirit who was ever born or will be born or was created at the end of JESUS’ 1000 year reign on the earth. Yes, that means that JESUS will come back to the earth and rule from Jerusalem for 1000 years over the nations of the world. We must move past the religious exercise of these facts to the understanding by personal relationship with GOD, we must learn as much of The Bible as we can and we must live according to JESUS’ teaching and commands.

If we do this in our own desire and motivation we will become religious, if we do this to fulfill some requirement of organizations we will become religious. There are two types of religious people JESUS deals with; the Pharisees (Matthew 23) and the zealots (Matthew 7:21-23).

JESUS said that “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know The Truth and The Truth shall make you free.” “If you Love Me, keep My Commandments.” “You are My Friends if you do whatever I Command you.” John 8:31-32; 14:15; 15:14

JESUS said, “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the Light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the house tops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather Fear Him Who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” “Do not think that I came to bring Peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword…’and a man’s enemies will be of his own household.’...And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life forMy sake will find it.” Matthew 10 27-28, 34-39

JESUS said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for Righteousness’ sake, for theirs is The Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:10-12

JESUS repeatedly called us to obey Him above everybody and everything, because He told us that He came not to do His Will but The Will of His Father; and we are expected to do the same. (Matthew 6:10; Matthew 26:23-46; John 6:36-40; John 12:23-33)

JESUS told us that we have to abide in Him and He in us or we can do nothing, but if we abide in Him and He in us then He will produce much fruit through us. (John 15:1-17; 1 Corinthians 12-13)

This is why it is important for you to pray and fast and seek the face of GOD while He may be found! This is why it is important for you to read The Bible, study The Bible, memorize The Bible as much as you can, and live according to The Bible.
