Understanding God

 

Beloved, let your understanding of God be based on what is written in the scriptures.

.

.

.

See, when you have a poor understanding of the scriptures or no understand at all, you will percieve the character and personality of God amiss.

.

.

.

One thing you must understand is that Jesus Christ is the true and perfect description of God.

Look at Hebrews 1 vs 3

Hebrews 1:1 This Son perfectly mirrors God, and is stamped with God's nature. He holds everything together by what he says—powerful words!

The Son is how God is. Jesus is God in the flesh.

.

.

.

Every single description and understanding of God outside of the person of Christ is very wrong.

.

.

.

Look at this, every single person on Earth, after the Fall of Adam, until Christ came chose to have little or no understanding of who God was.

Romans 1:28 

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

They chose not to retain God in the knowledge. The decided to forget about the true God and made the their God into idols.

.

.

.

Man made religion. Yes, worshipping an idol, as if it is God, is religion!

.

.

.

Luke 1:68 

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,

He visited His people through Christ, as Christ. 

.

.

.

You need to understand that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. So when you are saying what God will do, make sure it's what Jesus would do.

.

.

.

Even Moses and the Law, which was a shadow of what is to come, is not the perfect explanation of God's personality.

Hebrews 10:1 

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

If Jesus is the perfect explanation of God's nature and personality, then you should know that anythingng written before Christ came with a poor understanding of God.

.

.

.

Now what is God's nature?

1 John 4:8 

He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.

.

.

.

God is love. Every action taken towards us by God is because of love.

Apostle Paul gives us a description of who God is in 1cor 13 vs 1-the end.

.

.

.

God is love. God is good. God is life. God is the best thing we could ever want!
