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!

"For with God, nothing is impossible".

  "For with God, nothing is impossible". If it was possible for the sin of one man to make you a sinner, then it's not impossible for the righteousness of one man to make you righteous.   If it was possible for you to be doomed for Hell because of one man's sin, it's possible for you to be saved by one man's resurrection.     The Old man was of a sinful nature but the New creation man is of an Immortal, incorruptible and righteous nature.      Those who are born again are not born in or of the flesh but of the Spirit. There are not born of the Earthly but of the Heavenly. They are not born of Man but of God!   When you judge your nature by the understanding of the flesh, you misinterpret and misunderstand who you really are.     You are righteous. You are Holy. You are without blemish or spots. God is pleased with you. You are the Righteousness of God.   That's who you really are!   How did it all happen? "For with God, nothing...

The motive for being good

I was thinking....     "A good deed is its own reward". A very normal yet life-changing statement. My mom made this statement to me years back and it'll always be a code I stand by.     Building your mindset on this very statement as a Believer is probably one of the best ways to show how good Jesus is. It also proves that you have offered yourself as a living sacrifice to God.     It may look very casual or common to others but it shouldn't be for us... It's an integral part of our Christianity.       Our Lord, Jesus, and the Apostles of the new testament highly emphasized on showing charity, kindness and goodness to others.       Jesus gave us an example to follow... St. John 13:14-15 "And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you." [NLT]     Apostle Paul emphasized on it... Ephesian...

THE TRUE PLAN AND INTENTION OF GOD

 TRUE PLAN AND INTENTION OF GOD Romans 9:22  And the same is true of what God has done. He wanted to show his anger and to make his power known. But he was very patient in enduring those who were the objects of his anger, who were doomed to destruction. Romans 9:23  And he also wanted to reveal his abundant glory, which was poured out on us who are the objects of his mercy, those of us whom he has prepared to receive his glory. During the time of the Law, God was supposed to show his anger to Man for their sins but he was very patient.  What is God's anger? The departure of his presence. He would leave those that has rejected Him. Outside of God is destruction. God knew that we were doomed for destruction. Due to the greatness and richness of love he has for us, he focused more on getting us saved than our flaws.  "He is not slow in fulfilling his promises but he is patient, that all may come to repentance." God's plan has also been to show us his abundance of G...
