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!

THE GOSPEL part 1

    THE GOSPEL part 1 What is the Gospel?  The Gospel is the message of GRACE..... as distinguished from the LAW.That means that the message of the Gospel (Grace) is a clearer image or better explanation of the message the Law was trying to portray. *Colossians 2 vs 17 *Hebrews 10 vs 1 What is the Law? Also known as the Torah, the Law is the name the Jews gave the first five books of Moses. It comprises of both the law given to Moses on Mount Sinai and the laws handwritten by Moses for the people of Israel. The Law was made to prevent the people of Israel from sinning. In Romans 2 vs 14, Apostle Paul revealed that there was also Law for the Gentiles such as Consciousness or thoughts judging their actions.      The Gospel cannot be fully understood and explained from the OLD TESTAMENT because Christ and His work is the true revelation. The Law was a faulty and unstable description of God's plan for mankind. What is the Gospel? "For God so loved the world, th...

Justification by Faith

  𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: Justified by Faith 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁: Romans 5 vs 1  "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"     Justification, in context with the verse above, means to be absolved (to set free, release ) and declared free of blame or sin.     Through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, all those who believe in him are justified or set free of sin. Romans 4:25  "Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God]."     𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 "𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧"? By Faith     Romans 4:24  "But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead," ...

No longer in sin

  𝗡𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗻 Some people, at the moment of first glance, due to the tone or the boldness of the phrase above, might think this is an excerpt that condemns.  It's best if you read through.     (1)  Romans 6:1  "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" Romans 6:2  "God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"     This text above has been used by many people unto condemnation or to exalt the "power" of sin. Thereby making the listener or reader become ignorant to the finished work of Christ by twicking with his/her emotions.     Let's use the law of pretext here.    (2) Romans 5:20  "Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:" Romans 5:21 " That as sin has reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."    ...
