Who is GOD?

This book is written so that we may know God. This is book is not intended to hurt any once feelings or has nothing to do with their believes. All that is written in this book are my feelings and thoughts. One day when I was travelling. I had a thought “ Who is God and how does he look “. So I am putting in my views and finding about God.

Let us first see what is the meaning of God according to our dictionary. It says that He is a Creator, ruler of the universe, source of all moral authority, the Supreme being, superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes.

According to the English Dictionary God meaning God ɡɒd/ noun

1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.

A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in most of the religions.

Before we speak about God. Lets see some differences between man and God.

Let us see some differences between GOD Vs ManCreator :

God is a creator of all living things on the Earth and He created the universe. He will always create new things. Only God has power to give life and take life.

Man is created by God. Man is uses the things that are created by God. He cannot created living things. He cannot give life to anything. He can take away the life from living thing.

Power:

God is the most powerful and can do anything he want to. No one can estimate his power or His capabilities. Just a word from His mouth is enough to create all the living things. He can even end all the life’s by just a word.

Man uses power which is given by God. God has given some powers to man. This powers are used by man.

Perfect :

God is perfect in all the things He does. We cannot find faults in His works. We can only enjoy the things given by Him. God makes everything perfect in first Go.

Man is not perfect as he always try to copy things which are created by God. He does many mistakes to get one final product. He simply lies for very small things. Man tries many times to do one task perfectly.

Worshiped :

God is always worshiped and He is praised by many people and angles. His worship is not just to one Generation. In all Generations He is praised and worshiped.

Man is not worthy to be worshiped as the creator of Mankind should be worshiped.

Let go some deep into the topic :Who created God:

God is not created by man. But who created God, we actually don’t know this. This is a Mistry from ages. But we are sure that God created all mankind and all living things that exists.

We cannot create God. I saw lot of Idles which are created by man. They say that He is God. Let’s discuss on that so more. Who has seen that God so that they can carve that Image. If we see the current technology with 3D imaging. If a persons Image is made with 3D imaging in current world. We will not get the exact Image of that person but they say that they are some were close to 70 to 80%. Then who can a person 2000 years back can create a exact Image of God. When there is no technology, every image they have created are all manual works. How can they create an exact Image of a person they never saw. How can that Image which you see now is exact shape of God. How can you say that Image has power. We make Images only of the dead person. We will not make the Image of the living thing. If he dead how can he save you?.

Who and What Is God?

The Bible admonishes us to prove all things. Another Bible study in our series will include the proof of the existence of God, and this is primarily from creation. We look at radioactive materials, biogenesis, man’s mind coming from a superior mind, man’s living food, the timing of the universe, prophecy fulfilled, and miracles. Once a person proves the existence of God, he is then going to want to know how this God communicates with humans. Another Bible study will show you that the Bible is inspired by God, primarily looking at prophecies that already have been fulfilled. Next, what does the Bible say about God? What does God say about Himself in the Bible? Today let us see who and what God is.

A GOD FAMILY WITH TWO MEMBERS

We have already proven that the Bible is inspired by God, so that is where we need to go for information on God. Turn to John chapter 1 verses 1 to 3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” This can be a difficult verse to understand. The clearest understanding that I have ever seen was in a book called, Mystery of the Ages.

As he read these verses, he substituted names. Substitute the word “John” for “the Word” and substitute the last name “Smith” for “God.” So what we have is: “In the beginning was John and John was with Smith and John was Smith.” This is true because John is the son of Smith. Smith is the family name, but there are two separate persons or personages. One is called the Word, which comes from the Greek word Logos, which means “spokesman.”

Let us read verse 14 of John chapter 1: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” So this Word became a Man. Verse 15: “John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, ‘This was He of whom I said, “He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.”’” Verse 29: “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, “After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.”’” These same words referring to Jesus in verse 30 were used in verse 15 referring to the Word, all proving that the Word is Jesus Christ.

In the Old Testament the word for God is Elohim. According to Strong’s Concordance, this word refers to gods in a plural form. We will see more about that a little bit later.Elohim, this term for God, is a collective noun. It allows for a God family with two members, as we have talked about in John 1:1–the Word and God.

John chapter 1, verse 18: “No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.” So the Son, Jesus Christ, made the Father known, and no one knew about the Father before Christ revealed Him.

Turn to I Corinthians 8:6. “…yet for us there is only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.” This only mentions God the Father and Jesus Christ. Notice it does not mention the Holy Spirit as a person; we will get to that later.

Read I Corinthians 10:1-4: “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” This tells us that Christ was the God of the Old Testament. This is important because some people think that the laws of God the Father in the Old Testament were done away with by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. We just read, however, that the Rock that followed them in the Old Testament was Christ. Christ gave the Ten Commandments and then came later as a human; He did not come to do away with His own work.

The God of the Old Testament at times is considered to be harsh. This is untrue, but some people see Him that way while believing that Jesus Christ is the opposite, so loving and merciful. This is the same Being in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. God is and always has been a God of mercy, and we must never forget that.

John chapter 14:28 again describes a God family with two members. This is in Jesus Christ’s last instructions to His disciples before His death: “’You have heard Me say to you, “I am going away and coming back to you.” If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, “I am going to the Father,” for My Father is greater than I.’” Here again we see that Christ and the Father are two independent Beings, and that the Father is greater. Someone has to be the leader in any organized group, and in this case, it is the Father.

Turn back to John chapter 12, verses 49 to 50: “’For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.’” The Father sent the Son and told Him what to say, again illustrating a position of leadership.

Turn to I John 2:22-23: “Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” Part of the doctrine of the antichrist is denying the independent existence of the Father and the Son; one has to realize that they both exist.

Turn to the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 30: “’I and My Father are one.’” Christ is talking about being one spiritually. He clearly is not talking about being one entity like a trinity; John 17:11 tells us what this oneness really means: “’Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.’” Christ is referring to “We” as the Father and Christ Himself. They are one, and we are to be one in the same way. We are not part of a trinity, and this is not a statement saying that the Father and Christ are a trinity either.

Go on to verse 20: “’I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.’” Again it is talking about the Church being one, as the Father and Christ are one; it is not proving that the Father and Christ are the same Being.

John 17:1-5 shows Him talking to the Father as a separate Being. My New King James Bible has a reference here in verse 5, which says, “Together with Yourself.” The reference says “literally along side” Yourself, again proving the Father and Jesus Christ are two independent Beings.

CHRIST ALWAYS EXISTED

John 17 talks about the glory that He had before the world was, which leads us to our second point. The first

point was that God is a family with two members; the second point is that Christ always existed.

Remember, in John chapter 1 we read, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.” The Word, Christ, was there in the beginning.

Turn to Genesis chapter 14 where a little-known person mentioned here in the Bible. This reference will help us understand further that Jesus Christ has always existed. This was after Lot had been taken captive and Abraham took his personal army and rescued him. Genesis 14:18: “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: ‘Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.’ and he gave him a tithe of all.” Abraham realized that Melchizedek was one to whom he should be paying tithes. To whom do you pay tithes? You always pay tithes to God. We will learn more in Hebrews chapter 7.

Hebrews chapter 7, verses 1-3 talks about Melchizedek who had no father, no mother, no beginning of days, and no end of life. He was made like the Son of God. Remember, Jesus Christ often referred to Himself in the gospels as the Son of God. This Melchizedek was none other than Jesus Christ, who had no beginning of days. However, at one point He did become human for us.

Ephesians chapter 3, verse 9 tells us that Jesus Christ was around for the creation: “…and to make all people see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.” The Authorized Version, also known as the King James Version, says “created all things by Jesus Christ.” The Greek Interlinear says “by Jesus Christ.” In other words, Christ did the creating at the will of the Father.

Colossians chapter 1, verses 15-17, says in the King James Version, “All things were created by Him and for Him.” This is further proof that Jesus Christ created all things.

GOD’S COMPOSITION AND SHAPE

My third point regards the composition and shape of God. Man is made of the dust of the ground. God created all things, so He surely cannot be made of the dust of the ground! What is God made of? Turn to John chapter

4, verse 24: “’God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.’” God’s composition is spirit.

What does God look like? Turn to Genesis chapter 1, verse 26: “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’” If man is created in God’s image, then God must look like man. God appears to have two arms, two legs, a head, etc., in the same type of form as man.

Turn to Genesis chapter 5, verse 1: “This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.” Again this is showing that we look like God.

Turn to John 14, back to Jesus Christ’s final instructions to His disciples. John chapter 14, verses 8-9: “Philip said to Him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, “Show us the Father?”’” The Father looks like Christ. Christ was a typical looking human back then; He was able to disappear in a crowd at times when He needed to do so.

Moses knew something about what God looked like. Turn to Exodus 33. God had been talking to Moses for quite some time, but Moses never actually saw God. He wondered, what does God look like, this Eternal One that I have been talking to all this time? Read Exodus chapter 33, verses 18-23. God has a hand, a back, and a face. Again, He looks very much like us humans.

The prophet Ezekiel had a vision of God, too, though it was not a clear vision. Remember, no one could see God clearly and live. Ezekiel chapter 1, verses 26-28 describes what the Lord of the Old Testament looked like. He looked like a man but with fire all around, and that was about as much as Ezekiel could see.

In Revelation chapter 1 there is another vision, this time of Jesus Christ, being One of the God family, as He is now in His glorified state. Revelation chapter 1, verse 13: “…and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man…” (Remember the Son of Man was the term that Jesus Christ used for Himself in the New Testament.) “…clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.”

Here we have Jesus Christ in His glorified condition, and he has a chest, head, and hair that are white like wool, eyes like a flame of fire, feet like fine brass and his countenance (His face) shining like the sun. That is what Jesus Christ looks like right now. The first part of this description is intended to be taken literally, but often the Bible does speak symbolically. The stars in verse 16 are defined in verse 20: “’The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches…’” In other words stars can represent angels.

Back in verse 16 it says, “… out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword…” That is not intended to be taken literally either. The sword is a symbol, as defined in Hebrews 4:12 where the word of God is compared to a sword. The word of God, of course, is the Holy Bible. Ephesians 6:17 also confirms this definition of the sword as the word of God. These portions of the description in Revelation are symbolic, but the rest is a literal description of Christ.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Our fourth point answers the question: What is the Holy Spirit? We are going to find that the Holy Spirit is

the power of God but not part of any kind of trinity, as many believe believe. The word “trinity” is found

nowhere in the Bible.

Genesis chapter 1, verse 2: “The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” The Spirit is something that can hover.

Psalm chapter 104, verse 30: “You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the earth.” These two verses, the one in Psalms and the one in Genesis, show that God’s Spirit renewed the face of the earth, and it is by the power of God’s Spirit that creation occurs.

Turn to Acts chapter 1 verses 4-5: “And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, ‘which,’ He said, ‘you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.’” If the Holy Spirit were a being, how could you be baptized with a being? That would not make much sense.

Verse 8: “’But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.’” So the Holy Spirit comes “upon” someone as power.

Turn to chapter 2, which is where the Holy Spirit was given on the first Pentecost after the resurrection of Jesus Christ in 31 A.D. Acts chapter 2, verse 4: “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” So they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Again, you do not fill a being with another being; that would not make sense.

Peter gave an inspired sermon which caused people to realize they had been responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. Verse 38: “Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” The Holy Spirit is a gift which is given to us upon repentance, belief, and baptism.

In Acts chapter 10, Peter is preaching to Gentiles, and in particular to a Gentile by the name of Cornelius. Acts chapter 10, verse 44: “While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.” The Holy Spirit could fall upon people as a gift that had been poured out.

I John 5 is a verse that people often use to try to prove that the Holy Spirit is part of a trinity. Let us look at that verse a little more carefully. I John chapter 5, verse 7: “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.” According to the Companion Bible, Clarke’s Commentary, and other sources, portions of these verses were actually added centuries after they were originally inspired. The way the verse really should read is: “For there are three that bear witness in heaven.” Skip down to the middle of verse 8: “The Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.” The rest in the middle that people use to try to justify a trinity is not even in the original Bible or early manuscripts. Now we can understand better that the Holy Spirit is the power of God.

THE CHARACTER OF GOD

The fifth point is about the character of God. If we wanted to, we could stop at this point where we would have learned the “nuts and bolts” of what God is, but let’s dig deeper into the nature of God and learn about the beautiful mind of God. What about His character? Read I John chapter 4, verses 7 and 8: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” God chose a definition for Himself here: God is love. Understanding that is vitally important.

Verse 9: “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” (In other words, He is the payment for our sins.)

What is this word, “love”? This word love is given so many definitions in society. So often it is lust; so often it is a sweet feeling without much depth to it. In the Strong’s Concordance if you look it up you will find it means, “to love in a social or moral sense, the judgment and the deliberate ascent of the will as a matter of principle, duty and propriety.” Love is a choice of behavior. It is much more than just a pleasant feeling. God does not want us to just have a pleasant feeling about Him or about other people; He wants us actually to love in this moral sense, according to how God defines love.

Turn to I John chapter 5, verse 3 where we find the definition of love: “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” By this definition, love is actually keeping God’s commandments!

God’s first four commandments tell us how to have a relationship with God, and the last six tell us how to have a relationship with our neighbor. These commandments tell us a lot about the beautiful mind of God, how He thinks and how He wants us to think. Turn to Matthew chapter 5:1-10, often called The Beatitudes. Verses 11 through 16 continue on to other things that are important to God, and verse 17 gets back into the subject of the law: “’Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.’”

Continuing in verse 19 of Matthew 5: “’Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.’”

Later verses talk about the spiritual intent of God’s law. Literally, of course, we are not to be murdering people, but also we are not even to be angry without a cause. We are not to look down on people, which would be breaking that same commandment. We are not to be committing adultery, of course, but also we are not even to lust after people, which is breaking the spirit of the law (the intent) for that commandment.

Matthew chapter 5, verses 44 to 45: “’But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.’” We are to love one another and keep the commandments of God because, in fact, those commandments define love.

In Luke chapter 9, the disciples were still not converted, and they did not yet have God’s Holy Spirit. They were still learning. They were travelling and stopped at a village where they thought they could stay, but they were not allowed to enter. Luke 9, verse 54: “And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, ‘Lord do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?’ But He turned and rebuked them, and said, ‘You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.’ And they went to another village.” This shows the mercy and outgoing concern Jesus Christ had, as opposed to the desire to destroy. God is the same today. Contrary to what some believe, He does not want to destroy most of the population of the earth. He wants to open their minds when the time is right, and call them to be the innumerable multitude of Revelation 7. We need to have the same merciful approach ourselves.

Turn to John chapter 13:34-35, back to His final instructions to His disciples: “’A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.’” The character of God is showing love.

How does God know we are His disciples? Turn to John chapter 8, verses 31 to 32: “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’” This shows how important the truth is to God. We believe what He says and obey Him. The fruits of our lives tell us whether we are pleasing God.

Now we understand more about God and who and what it is that we worship. We must develop that kind of love that the Father and Jesus Christ have and hold fast to God’s truth, understanding very well the foundational doctrines of the Bible. We will have Bible studies on many of these items as time goes on.

Who Is God?

Who Is God - Who Does He Claim to Be?
Who is God? He's been described as everything from an impersonal life-force to a benevolent, personal, almighty Creator. He has been called by many names, including: "Zeus," "Jupiter," "Brahma," "Allah," "Ra," "Odin," "Ashur," "Izanagi," "Viracocha," "Ahura Mazda," and "the Great Spirit" to name just a few. He's seen by some as "Mother Nature" and by others as "Father God." But who is He really? Who does He claim to be?

Who Is God - Father God or Mother Nature?
Who is God? What has He revealed about Himself? To begin with, whenever He refers to Himself in parental terms, He always addresses Himself as "Father," never "Mother." He calls Himself "a Father to Israel,"1 and in one instance, when His "children" were particularly disrespectful to Him, He said to them, "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am the Father, where is My honor? And if I am a Master, where is My reverence?" 2

His prophets acknowledged Him as Father by saying, "You are our Father, we are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand,"3 and "do we not all have one Father? Has not one God created us?"4 Never once does God refer to Himself as "Mother" and never once is He called such by the prophets to whom He spoke. Calling God "Mother Nature" is comparable to calling your earthly father "Mom."

Who Is God - What Does God Care About?
Who is God in terms of moral attributes? What does God have to say about Himself in this regard? He says that He delights in justice and righteousness: "…Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight."5 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity..."6

Justice and equity are very important to God. But so are grace and mercy. And so, while God will hold everyone accountable, each for their own lives, He extends His grace to the repentant sinner. He promises that, "'If the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die. All his transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live. Do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked,' declares the Lord GOD, 'rather than that he should turn from his ways and live?...I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,' declares the Lord GOD. 'Therefore, repent and live.'"7

By "death" God is not referring to the physical death which we might have in mind. Rather, God is referring to something which will happen in eternity, after our physical deaths. The Scriptures refer to this event as the "second death."8 The first death separates us from our bodies and takes us from this world. The second death is different. It also entails a separation, but it's the separation of one group of people from another: the righteous and the forgiven on one hand and the wicked and the unrepentant on the other. The two groups will be judged separately.

The one group will be rewarded according to the good that they've done. Their evil deeds will be overlooked, forgiven by God. The other group will be judged according to the evil that they have done, and their good deeds will not keep them from their punishment. God says, "When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and dies because of it, for his iniquity which he has committed he will die." But "when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and practices justice and righteousness, he will save his life. Because he considered and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. …Therefore, repent and live."9 In this way, God will see that justice ultimately prevails, but that mercy is given to the humble and the repentant.

God has made a provision for those who want to repent, a provision to atone for the sins of those who want to be made right with Him. He sent a "Messiah," a Servant who willingly suffered and died a vicarious death in order to pay for the sins of those who would repent and trust in Him. The Scriptures say, "Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?…Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows…He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.…it was the LORD's will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer, and though the LORD makes His life a guilt offering, He will see His offspring and prolong His days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in His hand. After the suffering of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.…he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

Who is God? What is He like? Six personality traits of God...

He is Knowable.

God, who created the universe in all of its magnitude and creative details, is able to be known, by us. He tells us about himself, but even goes beyond that. He welcomes us into a relationship, so that we personally can get to know him. Not only can we know about him, we can know him, intimately.

"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the Lord,
who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight," declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 9:23,24)

He is Approachable.

God invites us to talk to him and engage him in what concerns us. We don't have to get our act together first. Neither do we need to be polite, theologically correct or holy. It is his nature to be loving and accepting when we go to him.

"The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth." (Psalms 145:18)

He is Creative.

Everything we make is put together with existing materials or built on previous thoughts. God has the capacity of speaking things into existence, not just galaxies and life forms, but solutions to today's problems. God is creative, for us. His power is something he wants us to be aware of and to rely on.

"Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit." (Psalms 147:5)

"...where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth." (Psalms 121:1,2)

He is Forgiving.

We sin. We tend to do things our way instead of God's way. And he sees it and knows it. God does not merely overlook such sin, but is prepared to judge and condemn people for their sin. However, God is forgiving and will forgive us from the moment we begin a relationship with him. Jesus, the Son of God, paid for our sin with his death on a cross. He rose from the dead and offers us this forgiveness.

"We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done... We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us." (Romans 3:22,25)

He is Honest.

Just like a person who lets you know their thoughts and feelings, God clearly tells us about himself, the possible difference being, he is always honest. Everything he says about himself, or about us, is reliable information. Truer than our feelings, thoughts, and perception, God is totally accurate and honest in what he says. Every promise he makes to us can be fully counted on, he means it. We can take him at his word.

"The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path." (Psalms 119:130,105)

He is Capable.

How would you like to be always 100% right, about everything? God is. His wisdom is unlimited. He understands all the elements of a situation, including the history and future events related to it. We do not have to update him, counsel him or persuade him to do the right thing. He will, because he is capable and his motives are pure. If we trust him, he will never make a mistake, never undercut us or deceive us. He can be fully trusted to do what is right, in all circumstances, at all times.

"No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame..." (Psalms 25:3)

Question: "Who is God?"

Answer: Who is God? What is God? How can we know God?

Who is God? - The Fact
The fact of God’s existence is so conspicuous, both through creation and through man’s conscience, that the Bible calls the atheist a “fool” (Psalm 14:1). Accordingly, the Bible never attempts to prove the existence of God; rather, it assumes His existence from the very beginning (Genesis 1:1). What the Bible does is reveal the nature, character, and work of God.

Who is God? - The Definition
Thinking correctly about God is of utmost importance because a false idea about God is idolatry. In Psalm 50:21, God reproves the wicked man with this accusation: “You thought I was altogether like you.” To start with, a good summary definition of God is “the Supreme Being; the Creator and Ruler of all that is; the Self-existent One who is perfect in power, goodness, and wisdom.”

Who is God? - His Nature
We know certain things to be true of God for one reason: in His mercy He has condescended to reveal some of His qualities to us. God is spirit, by nature intangible (John 4:24). God is One, but He exists as three Persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17). God is infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), incomparable (2 Samuel 7:22), and unchanging (Malachi 3:6). God exists everywhere (Psalm 139:7-12), knows everything (Psalm 147:5; Isaiah 40:28), and has all power and authority (Ephesians 1; Revelation 19:6).

Who is God? - His Character
Here are some of God’s characteristics as revealed in the Bible: God is just (Acts 17:31), loving (Ephesians 2:4-5), truthful (John 14:6), and holy (1 John 1:5). God shows compassion (2 Corinthians 1:3), mercy (Romans 9:15), and grace (Romans 5:17). God judges sin (Psalm 5:5) but also offers forgiveness (Psalm 130:4).

Who is God? - His Work
We cannot understand God apart from His works, because what God does flows from who He is. Here is an abbreviated list of God’s works, past, present, and future: God created the world (Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 42:5); He actively sustains the world (Colossians 1:17); He is executing His eternal plan (Ephesians 1:11) which involves the redemption of man from the curse of sin and death (Galatians 3:13-14); He draws people to Christ (John 6:44); He disciplines His children (Hebrews 12:6); and He will judge the world (Revelation 20:11-15).

Who is God? - A Relationship with Him
In the Person of the Son, God became incarnate (John 1:14). The Son of God became the Son of Man and is therefore the “bridge” between God and man (John 14:6; 1 Timothy 2:5). It is only through the Son that we can have forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:7), reconciliation with God (John 15:15; Romans 5:10), and eternal salvation (2 Timothy 2:10). In Jesus Christ “all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form” (Colossians 2:9). So, to really know who God is, all we have to do is look at Jesus.

Who is God?

I Am!

When Moses talked to God at the burning bush, he asked Him His name. God replied merely, "I am that I am," referring to His self-existence, the Being of beings, eternal and unchangeable.

Rich Deem

Many religions describe a being referred to as "God." Some of these religions describe the being God as one of many other gods created by more powerful gods or councils of gods. However, for the purpose of this paper, we are going to use the definition of God contained in the Bible. As such, God is the Spirit hovering over the waters of the primordial Earth—Creator of the universe (matter, energy, space, and time), along with other principalities and beings whose primary existence is outside this universe. However, God did not just create the universe and leave it to its own fate as deists proclaim. God is the personal being who walked and talked with Adam and Eve, the first human beings, in the garden of Eden. God is also Savior of mankind, coming to Earth in the person of Jesus of Nazareth to provide the ultimate example of holiness and the ultimate sacrifice for humanity's evilness, in order to restore our personal relationship with Him.

Who is God?

According to Christianity, God is the self-existent One, having no need of being created, since He has existed forever and is the cause of all things, including the dimension of time, to which He is not subject (see If God Created Everything, Who Created God?). Likewise, God is not subject to the physical creation, but is spiritual in nature, residing in the spiritual dimensions of heaven. God's power over the physical creation is absolute, such that He can manipulate matter, energy, space, and time at will. For this reason, God is said to be all powerful—able to accomplish any possible task He wills to do. Along with being all powerful, God is also all knowing—having knowledge of all things that are possible to be known, including the entire history of the universe—past, present, and future. Because God is all powerful (omnipotent) and all knowing (omniscient), He is also able to be present at all places at all times (omnipresent). God is also all loving—according to the Bible, "God is love" (1 John 4:16). The love of God prompted Him to create human beings in His image, in order to share His love with us. The Christian scriptures say that we can fulfill the entire law of God by loving Him and loving our fellow human beings (Matthew 22:37-40). God is absolutely holy—without any moral or character defect. In fact, the Bible says that God is incapable of doing any evil, despite being all powerful. God is unchangeable. In other words, He does not change any of His attributes or character at any time. Despite humanity's tendency to change its definition of morality, God's moral character does not evolve with the times, but remains constant.

Where is God?

The Bible says that God cannot be contained within the universe (1 Kings 8:27). In addition, the Bible says that God fills both heaven and earth (Jeremiah 23:24), which is a Hebrew idiom to describe the entire universe. So, God is both transcendent and immanent simultaneously. God's normal abode is in heaven, which is not located within the physical universe. According to the Bible heaven seems to operate under different physical laws, with the laws of thermodynamics seeming to be absent. So, the question "Where is God?" is not one that can be answered with the knowledge we posses.

God?

What does God look like?

Since human beings are created in the image of God, most artist's renditions picture God as looking like a human male. Although the Bible uses the personal pronoun "He" to describe God, it never says God looks like a human male. Word pictures describing God usually use words such as "like" or "as" in their descriptions. So, we find that both males and females were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), although God is not a hermaphrodite. Likewise, there are descriptions of God that describe Him with wings and feathers (Psalm 91:2-4), although nobody would suggest that God is an overgrown chicken. In fact, the Bible says God is a spirit (John 4:24)—without physical form (i.e., not composed of ordinary matter). Although God's primary nature is spiritual, He is able to take on physical form in order to interact with human beings on Earth. In fact, the Bible says that God took on human form, coming to earth as Jesus of Nazareth. The Bible says that believers who die will go to heaven and "see Him just as He is" (1 John 3:2), because they will be like Him, possessing "spiritual bodies" (1 Corinthians 15:44). So, there is no way to know what God actually looks like in heaven, until we actually get there (see entrance requirements).

What does God want from me?

If God created the entire universe as a place to accommodate human beings, He must have had some sort of plan in mind. The Bible says God wants as many people as possible to choose to love Him and spend eternity with Him. Since God's standard for behavior is perfection in thought and deed, we are going to find it very difficult to meet God's standard on our own. However, since God loves us so much, He has provided another means by which we can attain perfection. Jesus, as God, took on the form of a human being and lived on the earth in the first century (Philippians 2:5-8). Besides teaching, His main purpose was to provide the ultimate sacrifice for sins (bad things we do), by living a completely sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), dying on a cross (Colossians 1:19-20), and rising from the dead (Romans 6:9-10). It is through belief in Jesus and His sacrifice for sins that one is declared righteous and free from sin.1 One who believes in Jesus follows Him,2 being indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who guides Christians as they become conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). So, those who believe in Jesus are declared righteous and will spend eternity with Him in heaven.

Conclusion

God is the ultimate Being in existence, perfect in power, love, and character. Since God wanted to share His love with others, He created the angels and human beings—spiritual creatures who can related to Him. Because God is love, He wants us to love Him and love other people (Matthew 22:37-40). God came to earth in human form as Jesus of Nazareth to teach us about Himself and to provide the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, so that those who believe can have fellowship with Him. The Bible encourages all people to turn from their selfishness to become lovers of God, to fulfill God's perfect law of love.

How Can I Know That God Is Real?

People can know the reality of love, but science cannot prove love. People can know the reality of God, but not through scientific research.

But what can be known about God--His eternal power and deity--can be understood by everyone because God has revealed it within them (see Romans 1:18-20, 2:14-15). In other words, God has given mankind the ability to learn about Him from His creation, and to some He has given a special revelation of Himself through apostles, prophets, and Jesus Christ Himself.

We can deduce clearly from all the created things that there has to be a Creator. Someone said that the chance of man's being an accident is about as reasonable as walking into a scrap-iron yard, finding a Boeing 747 jetliner, and saying, "Look how those pieces of iron flew accidentally together and formed that airplane." We are very, very complicated. For example, the neurons and nerve paths from each human eye to the human brain number some five hundred thousand. There is just no way that could happen by accident.

As we see the sunsets, the regularity of the seasons, the laws of nature, we are drawn to the fact that there has to be an intelligence behind all of it. The Bible goes on to say that people suppress the truth, because their deeds are evil (see Romans 1:18-21). They do not want to believe what is clearly shown to them.

God also reveals Himself through special revelation: The Bible. Prophets of God who have walked with Him have had special revelations. They have written these down over many years to form the book we call the Bible.

Finally, the supreme revelation of God is Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus was God come to earth. He came in fulfillment of two thousand years of Jewish history, and His coming was precisely as foretold by the prophets. He came among us and showed us what God is like, so we could know Him better. As He told His disciple Philip, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).

To sum things up, we can know God from the general revelation of creation, and we can know Him from the special revelation of those who have known Him--and especially from the life and words of Jesus Himself.

People who say there is no God must realize that atheism takes a great deal more faith than does belief in God. Faith in God simply makes more sense! When you consider scientific theories regarding the beginning of the cosmos, you are struck with the fact that there have been at least ten major "cosmogonies" during the last two hundred years. Man is continuously changing his theory of how it all came to be. As our knowledge expands, we shift and shift and shift. But so far, no one has ever come up with anything better than the biblical account that there is a creator God who, in the beginning, made all that is.

What Is God Like?

Theologians have tried to describe God in many ways.

He is the substance of all human virtues. He is all-wise and all-knowing. He can do anything and everything we cannot do, and He is everything good that we would like to be. So we say that He is omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing) or omnipresent (present everywhere).

On the other hand, we can describe God by contrasting Him with our human limitations. For example, we are mortal, but God is immortal. We are fallible, but God is infallible.

God is a Spirit: Eternal and ever-living. He has no beginning or end. He is a Person who is totally self-aware--"I am"--totally moral--"I ought"--and totally self-assertive--"I will." He is the essence of love, and He is loving. He is also a righteous judge--totally fair and just.

God is the Father of all creation, the Creator of all. He is all powerful and sustains the universe. He exists outside of the universe (theologians call this transcendence), yet He is present throughout the universe (theologians say He is immanent) and is its ruler. He exists in nature, but He is not nature, nor is He bound by the laws of nature as the pantheists assert. He is the source of all life and everything that is. (For biblical references on the character and nature of God, see Deuteronomy 7:6-8, Psalm 147:5, Isaiah 43:3, 66:1, Jeremiah 32:17, John 4:24, Hebrews 1:3, and I John 4:9.)

The best description of God is the name that He gave for Himself to the early Israelites, Yahweh. Yahweh is usually translated Jehovah or LORD. Scholars believe that this is the hiphil tense of the Hebrew verb "to be" and literally means "He who (causes everything) else to be."

How Can There Be A Trinity , A Three-In-One God?

The Trinity is one of the great theological mysteries. There are some who think that because we believe in monotheism, one God, we cannot accept the concept of the Trinity. Yet the Bible teaches that the Godhead consists of three divine Persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--each fully God, each showing fully the divine nature (see Matthew 3:16-17).

The Father is the fountainhead of the Trinity, the Creator, the first cause. He is the primary thought, the concept of all that has been and will be created. Jesus said, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working" (John 5:17).

The Son is the "Logos" or expression of God--the "only begotten" of the Father. If you want to know what the Father is like, look at the Son. In John 14:9, Jesus said, "He that has seen me has seen the Father." The Son of God is the agent of creation and our redeemer.

The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, proceeds from the Father and is worshiped and glorified together with the Father and the Son.

The Father, as prime mover, brings forth the creative thought. The Son, as agent of creation, expresses that thought. The Spirit activates the creative word and relates it to that which is created. He inspired the Scriptures and empowers God's people. He takes the things of Jesus and brings them to our remembrance. John 16:8 tells us that He convicts the world "of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment."

All three Persons of the Godhead are eternal. The Father exists and has existed forever. With Him always existed His expression, the Son. Always the Father loved the Son, and the Son loved and served the Father. From that relationship of love arose the Spirit of God, who is eternal and has existed forever. There was, therefore, not a time when there was only the Father, then later the Son, and still later the Spirit. They all three have existed from before there was anything that could begin--three distinct Persons all functioning as One.

There are trinities in nature. Light can be divided into three primary colors; yet light is one. A prism will reveal the individual colors separately that are unique yet unified. An example of a trinity in nature which is sometimes given erroneously to explain the Trinity is the transformation of water to steam or to ice. The problem with this illustration is that water becomes either steam or ice, but does not at the same time remain water. This type of thinking leads to a heresy called modalistic monarchianism, which maintains that the Father changes into the Son or into the Spirit--different modes of the same being but never the three beings at one time.

Upon the occasion of Jesus' baptism, however, all three persons in the Trinity were present and active. The Father spoke from heaven, the Son was fulfilling all righteousness, and the Spirit descended upon the Son like a dove (see Matthew 3:16-17, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:21-22).

The existence of the Trinity is a mystery that one day we will understand clearly. For now, we know that the Bible teaches it and Jesus revealed it, and the Christian church from the beginning has confessed and safeguarded this precious truth.

If God Is All-Powerful, Why Doesn't He Destroy Satan?

God's government rests on love. The moral foundation of the universe is based on reason, love, and justice. If God ever chose to act arbitrarily and exercise superior force, there would be a danger that He would have to rule by fear, rather than love. What He wants are people who love and serve Him voluntarily, not merely because they are afraid of Him. When God allows Satan a certain amount of leeway, He is permitting the exercise of free will on the part of one of His created beings. He is carrying forth a drama on earth that is cosmic in nature, whereby men and women, created in the image of God, freely choose to serve Him.

If God just reached out with His power and struck Satan, other created beings could say He did it because He could not win by love, and so He had to resort to force and fear.

God's plan for the triumph of love over hate is breathtaking. God placed on earth a being--man--who was made in God's image. Then He permitted Satan to tempt man, and man gave in to bring about his own downfall. Then before all of the angels in heaven, there unfolded the drama of redemption whereby God Himself sent His Son to die for fallen man. The church began to grow out of the multitudes who chose freely to follow God's love rather than to participate in Satan's rebellion.

The time will come when God has assembled a body of people who freely love Him, which will prove beyond any doubt that love is the most powerful force in the universe. With the triumph of love complete, God will then deal with Satan.

First, God will put Satan in a place where he cannot escape for a thousand years (see Revelation 20:2-3). Then God will demonstrate how beautiful the world would be without Satan. At the end of that time, Satan is going to be set free, will deceive the nations again, and will be defeated totally. Then God will cast him into eternal torment.

Satan is a tool of God's love in the sense that he forces us to see God's loving patience (see I Timothy 1:18-20, I Corinthians 5:3-5). People would have a harder time understanding the love of God without the obvious evil and hatred of His enemy. But God did not cause Satan to rebel just so we could have a better picture of His love. Satan sinned willingly because of pride. He thought his wisdom exceeded that of God's (see Isaiah 14:12-15,I Timothy 3:6). We must always remember that the devil and God are not coequal (see Ezekiel 28:13-19). The devil is a creation of God, and God can do with him whatever He pleases (see Revelation 20:7-10).

Why is There Suffering in the World?

Suffering touches everyone who lives on this planet. All you have to do is pick up a daily newspaper or listen to a news broadcast to know that a great many people are suffering. They suffer because of automobile accidents or because of terrible diseases or because of crime. Some suffer because they were born in poverty, others because they were born in countries ruled by dictators. There are many causes of suffering, and the list could go on for pages. But our question is not concerned with causes. We are looking for the reasons for suffering.

To say there is suffering because there is crime, or because there are auto accidents, is not nearly enough. Our question goes far beneath the surface, where it hits at the very roots of human pain and anguish.

The first thing to be said about suffering is that most of it comes about because of the activities of a powerful supernatural being called Satan, or the devil. He delights in hurting man and in trying to turn man away from God. Very often people blame God when they suffer, but is it God's fault? Satan takes great pride in seeing God gets the "credit" for his misdeeds.

Suffering is also caused by man's rebellion against God and by the evil in men's hearts. How much suffering has been caused in the modern world, for instance, by Communism, or by men hurting other men? Godless dictators hurt their own people, and they hurt the people of neighboring nations as well. Just consider how much suffering has been caused, in this century alone, by men such as Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, and Mao Tse-tung. As the result of godless dictatorships, there is suffering in the form of heartbreak.

You might say that suffering is a result of freedom. God has given man a certain amount of freedom. If man were merely a robot, an automaton, then God could always force him to do what is right. But God gives man the freedom either to love and obey Him or to rebel against Him. When man rebels against God, he hurts not only himself but also his fellow man.

Something else to remember about suffering is that God set up certain natural laws to govern the universe. If it were not for the law of gravity, we would all go floating off into space. But that same law is going to cause pain to people who jump from the tops of tall buildings!

Consider the hurricane, the earth's way of releasing pentup heat and energy. Heat from the southern climates has to move north and be discharged from the earth. When that happens, it causes a violent wind to blow. That wind, in turn, stirs up huge waves when it passes over the ocean. The hurricane is not meant to cause suffering, but if people ignore the warnings of nature, they will be injured by hurricanes.

The same is true of fault lines, such as the San Andreas Fault. Fault lines are necessary to keep the earth from just breaking apart. But if people insist upon building houses on the San Andreas Fault--as they do--then they are going to suffer when an earthquake comes. Such suffering does not result from God's intentions, but comes rather from man's foolishness. We can either go along with natural forces and accommodate ourselves to them, or we can ignore them and be hurt by them.

Much sickness, too, is man-made. Some of it is because of improper nutrition. People do not eat the right things. God gives us natural sugar, but we bleach it and make it white. We eat white bread, when whole wheat is much better for us. God gives us naturally fibrous fruit and plants, but we boil the fiber away. We do the same thing with oranges, when we squeeze the juice out of them and throw away the pulp, which is a beneficial part. We also peel potatoes and eat only the inside. In doing so, we throw away the part that God made to help us stay healthy.

It is probable that 75 to 80 percent of the illnesses in the United States are psychosomatic. We have not learned to cast all our cares upon God, as we are advised to do in I Peter 5:7, and so we let our worried and harried minds make us sick.

We also make ourselves sick voluntarily through doing such things as smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and ingesting drugs. Automobile accidents cause fifty-six thousand deaths in our country each year--and half of those involve drunken driving.

The technological state of our society contributes to suffering too. If there were no automobiles, there would be no deaths and injuries resulting from highway accidents. Our air would not be polluted with smoke from factories and automobile exhaust if there were no cars and factories. All of these things are part of the price we pay for our state of civilization. If we do not want to pay the price, we can go back to a more primitive society. In today's world, our lifestyle is a large contributor to sickness and disease.

To illustrate again how man contributes to his own suffering, consider what has happened in Africa. The northern plain of that continent was once a beautiful, fertile, wooded area. But over several centuries, people cut down all the trees. As a result, the topsoil eroded and there was nothing left but desert. Without the protective cover of the trees, temperatures in the region rose steadily. The people moved farther south, seeking fertile land. As they moved southward, they continued cutting the trees, and consequently the desert moved southward. Today there are three-and-a-half million square miles of desert in the northern part of Africa. In northern Africa and in many other areas of the world, men have disturbed the ecological balance in nature. As a result, poverty and hunger are worse and worse.

India has a similar problem. India was once one of the most fertile lands in the entire world. But the Indian people have embraced a philosophy that says rats and cows are sacred. So the cows eat up much of the vegetation, and the rats devour a good deal of the grain. Given a new understanding of nature, proper agricultural techniques, a forestation program, and a cleansing of rivers which are now polluted, India could be agriculturally self-sustaining.

The problem is not caused by an act of God, but it stems from man's foolishness over a period of years, perhaps centuries. And the problems are steadily compounded over successive generations.

There are other forms of suffering that men bring on themselves. Consider, for example, such diseases as genital herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and AIDS. These all result from a conscious lifestyle that is opposed to God's Word and breaks God's laws. God did not send herpes. It is a natural consequence of immorality. When it spreads, it becomes an incurable disease, affecting millions and millions of people.

Why does God allow this to happen? When we ask this question, it brings us back to the statement that God has created man as a free being--free even to the point of ruining much of God's creation. God has sent preachers, prophets, and other holy men to warn the people to change their ways but most will not listen. They would not listen to the prophets four thousand years ago, and most of them will not listen today.

It is true that the righteous often suffer, and this will continue as long as we live in a world of wickedness. If someone speaks out against wickedness, he is going to be involved in a struggle, and that struggle may result in pain and suffering. Jesus said, "If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you" (John 15:20).

Jesus Christ was the only perfect man who ever lived, and people killed Him. Why? Because He came into contact with evil and tried to do something about it. John the Baptist was beheaded because he told people they were breaking God's laws (see Mark 6:25-28). It has been true throughout the ages that those who are God's messengers are often set upon and hurt by the people they have tried to warn. That kind of suffering is virtually unavoidable as long as we live in a wicked world of superstition, hatred, and ignorance.

Suffering, if we allow it to, does have a way of purifying us. Many people have had to suffer in order to turn to God. Until they had their material things stripped from them, and often their health taken away, they had no desire for spiritual things.

Those who are suffering may be tempted to turn away from God. They should never allow this to happen. Instead, they should worship God and be blessed and benefited, even in the midst of their suffering. Those who hurt must remember that it is not God's will for anyone to suffer.

They must remember, too, that He will intervene for those who diligently seek Him. Thousands of people can testify that God will intervene to relieve pain and suffering, but this depends on a closeness and an intimacy with Him. Should we, then, accept everything, and thank God for whatever happens to us--good and bad?

God answers this question specifically in the Bible. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).

It is important to understand that accepting things is not the same thing as being resigned to them. You must accept suffering without becoming bitter, and you can accept it without resigning yourself to it. It is not your "lot in life" to suffer. Those who do suffer should never quit seeking God's touch and asking Him to set them free. Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8). The key is to keep on asking, seeking, and knocking.

One final word about suffering. There is a certain amount of pain involved whenever growth is taking place. When people are moving to a higher level of intellectual activity, there is a struggle that has to take place, and in that struggle there is pain. When people who are great athletes are pushing through the limits of endurance to get to new records, there is constant pain. There is pain when you are running a mile or two at top speed, when your lungs are gasping and your body wants to quit. But there is also the overwhelming joy that comes when you finally do break through into that new dimension.

This kind of pain is not the same thing as suffering. Some people do not recognize the difference between the suffering that is caused deliberately by evil and the pain that comes about through striving to reach a new plateau of experience. Such suffering merely marks the transition period of going from one level of accomplishment to a higher level.

All suffering is temporary. It will all pass away when Jesus Himself returns to the earth. Revelation 21:4 reads: "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

Who is God?

"Who is God?" is a good question. It is better than asking "What is God?" This is because God exists as a Person who created us, loves us, is concerned for our being, desires to provide for us, and sent his Son to redeem us. If we were to ask "What is God?" we might be tempted to say that God is the infinite being, the creator, a presence, or something like that. In some respect this would be true, but the first question brings us closer to understanding more of who God really is in His character and His love for us as revealed in the Bible.

The Bible teaches us that in all existence, from all eternity, there has been and always will be only one God. God was never created. He is, and always has been, completely loving, completely just, completely holy, and completely merciful. God is holy and He can have nothing to do with sin, as the Bible says, "His eyes are too pure to look upon evil," (Hab. 1:13). This does not mean that God cannot see what someone does that is wrong. It is a way of describing how holy God is. God cannot sin. He is perfect.

God is a Trinity. This means that God exists in three persons, not three gods. Technically, the doctrine of the Trinity states that in the one God is the person of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is not the same person as the other; yet there are not three gods but one. This is similar in analogy to the nature of time. Time is past, present, and future. The past is not the same as the present, which is not the same as the future. But, there are not three times. There is only one thing called time.

The reason the word "person" is used in describing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is because each exhibits attributes of personhood -- not in a body of flesh and bones, but in personality. In other words, each has a will, and each loves, speaks, is aware of others, communicates with others, etc. These are attributes of personhood and we see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each demonstrate these qualities.

Because of the Trinity, God can become flesh in the form of the Son and still exist in such a way that He can run the universe. Therefore, the Son can communicate to us on our level.

Following are a couple verses that hint at the Trinity.

Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."

2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."

The Bible says there is only one God: "I am the Lord, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God," (Isaiah 45:5). Yet, the Bible teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each called God.

Below is a very brief chart showing that each of the persons in the Trinity share the same attributes that only God shares. But remember, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each has a will, speaks, etc. Therefore, we say there are three persons but only one God.

Our Best and Greatest Love

Love is the greatest power, the most powerful force that ever exists. It drives our lives, it motivates our actions, it stimulates our passion, it shapes our thoughts, it molds our thinking, it directs our behavior, it justifies our reactions. Love determines our sacrifices, it sustains our endurance, it sharpens our choices, it dictates outcomes, it maximizes our care, it conceives our plans, it enhances our planning. Love always seeks to please, to protect, to defend, to nurture, to care, to court, to charm, to dream, to beautify, to attract, to preserve, to persevere, to cover, to educate, to uplift, to promote, to respect, to liberate, to elevate, to build up, to repair, to pull up, to push up, to publicize, to market, to exhibit, to advertise, to talk about, to exalt, to valorize, to brag about, to display, to show off.

The dictionary defines “Love” (noun) as “a strong positive emotion of regard; any object of warm affection or devotion; a beloved person; used as terms of endearment. “To Love” (verb) is to have a great affection and liking for, to get pleasure from, to be enamored or in love with; …

The Bible (New International Version / NIV), in 1 Corinthians13:4-7, lists some attributes and virtues of Love: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.”

The best example and the greatest lesson of Love is given to us by God the Father Himself who, out of His unthinkable kind of Love for the world (the human race) (John 3:16), sent His one and only Son Jesus Christ to die in order to save us and to redeem us from eternal damnation. His evident gesture of Love through the death of His Son has therefore eliminated His intended wrath against us in terms of His anger towards us after the first man, Adam, disobeyed Him and sinned against Him in the Garden of Eden. His Great-Creator’s Love for us has compelled Him to offer His own Son as the utmost sacrifice to save us all from the consequences of the original sin (Genesis3/Whole Chapter).

We truly thank God for His unique compassion and for His unmatchable mercy. Otherwise, none of us would ever escape or dream to make it to Heaven. It is written in 1 Peter 1:3: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” And this is the greatest lesson of Love for us to study, to meditate upon, to learn from, and to practice on all occasions, at all times and towards all.

The topic of Love is the widest and the vastest subject that would take volumes upon volumes to develop. For the purpose of this blog, we will focus, concentrate and remain within the context of what Jesus taught inMark 12:30-31 that states: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”

To Love God is to obey Him, to respect Him, to revere Him, to veneer Him, to care for His people (our fellow humans). To Love God is to do His will, to follow His instructions and to obey His commands. In John 21:15, 16, Jesus instructed Peter saying (1) “Feed my lambs” and (2) “Take care of my sheep.” In John 21:17, Jesus repeatedly asked Peter “Simon son of John,do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.”

To Love God is to diligently seek Him, to crave for and to create intimacy with Him, to be attentive to His voice, to be and to live in perfect synergy with Him through yielding to the Holy Spirit. To Love God is to continuously watch ourselves not to anger Him, or to displease Him, or to offend Him, or to disrespect Him. To Love God is to do our best to please Him with all our might. As a result of our seriousness about loving Him, our lives become peaceful, productive, powerful, meaningful, prosperous and very successful. We are then able to hear from Him, to walk and to behave in accordance with His expectations of us. We are mindful and we strive to avoid making mistakes although they are an integral part of living. We initiate breakthroughs with God in mind. Great creations and great innovations come out of us because we are obedient, because we can hear from Him and follow through, and because He can trust us to carry out His plans for His world.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:9: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” - the things God has prepared for those who Love Him.” To Love God is to worship Him, and Him Alone. John 4:23 says: “Yet a time is coming and has come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” God is the Only One who is worthy of our worship and who deserves all our praise. He is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. We have been created to praise Him, to worship Him, to veneer Him, to serve Him.

To Love our neighbor is to care for the well-being, for the strong standing, for the welfare and for the good living of others. We are happy for their progress, their advancement, their achievement, their accomplishment, their success. We contribute joyfully to their happiness and to their advancement as much as we can. We avoid at all costs harming them, and we do whatever it takes to protect them. As a specific example that is generic and innate to their very nature, their commitment, their determination and their responsibility, a Firefighter would do and risk anything to rescue and to save a single life from a burning flame. And this is the kind of eloquent example among others that take place every day, that we take “routinely” for granted, and yet, this is exactly what God means when He says to “Love your neighbor like yourself”. The Firefighter is a Professional who is educated and trained to perform and to fulfill their duty that is deeply rooted in altruism. However, their mindset of willingness, of single-mindedness, of high personal (and work) ethics, of dedication, and of great sacrifice is what we have to learn from, to practice, to emulate and to apply towards our neighbor. A great biblical example of one's love for a neighbor is found in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25-37.

Our Love for our neighbor compels us to continuously strive to reach out to others and is the reason for our previous blog entitled: “Pioneer, Hang In There! Our Reaching-Out Endeavor.”

To Love ourselves is, first and foremost, to establish and to maintain a strong connection and a strong bond with God. God must become the center of our lives, our life sustainer, our life support, our main source of wisdom and guidance, our primary source of education, our Leader, our Lord, our King, our first confidant, our omniscient partner, our shelter and our safety nest in the storms, our shield in the midst of danger, our cane or our crutch to lean on, our Advocate with our Father in Heaven, and our Protector against the Evil one. “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One”. (1 John 2:1).

To Love ourselves is to know ourselves, to take the time to examine, to assess ourselves, to have the courage to fix our own “detected” flaws, to tackle our weaknesses, to acknowledge, to address and to resolve our mistakes, to deal honestly with our issues instead of pretending, playing make-believe or sugarcoating, to apologize on due times and to set an example for others, to make peace with ourselves, to forgive ourselves, to rid ourselves of guilt and to be at peace within ourselves.

To Love ourselves is to treat ourselves very preciously, to make time for ourselves, to take time off with ourselves, to care for our health, to dream and to take the practical steps to make those dreams come true, to be mindful and determined about our present, to be serious and decisive about our future.

To Love ourselves is to have and to cultivate a High Self-Esteem, to create our joy and our “own version” of personal happiness. To Love ourselves is to know and to convince ourselves that we are The BEST, that we have The BEST, that we want The BEST, that we deserve The BEST, that we offer and give The BEST, and that we would do Our Very BEST to make and to cause The BEST to come into and to happen in our lives. To Love ourselves is to decide not to settle for the “readily convenient” and the “easily available” that might end up in unpleasant results, in displeasing outcome and in regrettable consequences. Instead, we choose, we adopt, we select and we embrace The BEST, the essential, the uplifting, the compatible and the suitable. Since we are Very Precious and Very Special, we set our dream(s) and our goal(s) very high, and we do Our BEST to achieve them, to make them happened and become a reality. The LORD always reserves and always gives His BEST to us, His beloved people. In return, we preserve ourselves “sacrificially” to please Him because He deserves our pure, our wholehearted and our absolute BEST.

To Love ourselves is to think BIG, to dream BIG and BEAUTIFUL, and to know that, in all and after all, the sky is the limit. God is Our BIG CREATOR and Our BIG FATHER. We are His Beloved Sons and His Beloved Daughters. Therefore, it is simply normal to think BIG and to dream BIG like Our FATHER in Heaven. Those with a little mind and those of “little faith” (Matthew 17:20/Full Context, Verses 14-20) might call it “megalomania” meaning, “a psychological state characterized by delusions of grandeur”. However, by looking all around us and beyond, we can realize that everything that we are using on a daily basis, i.e., car, bus, truck, train, subway, airplane, ship, telephone, radio, television, fridge, stove, elevator, computer, laptop, cellular phone, internet, and other great products and great achievements, have all been invented, created and attained by people who have a great vision, a great passion, a great self-confidence and a strong faith to try hard, to work hard, and to think BIG. Therefore, we are not going to remain passive, or to justify our inactivity and our limitations, or to stay on the sideline like spectators filled with self-imposed impotence, or like quitters deprived of firm willingness and persistence. That is why we have made up our mind, and we are determined "to renew our mind" (Romans 12:2), to emulate and to join willfully (and "passionately") the ranks of the Great Minds, of the Big Thinkers, of the Great Builders and of the Great Achievers. Jabez cried out to the God of Israel and asked Him “Enlarge my territory! …” And God granted his request. (1 Chronicles 4:9,10). By faith, all things are possible when we Love ourselves, when we trust God, when we believe and Love God, and when we are willing to act constructively and ready to move forward.

Although I do not have too many of them “yet”, I Love electronic gadgets/tools for their usefulness, their convenient practicality, the inventive concept behind the innovation, and for my own experiment, exploration and comparison purposes (that is the quality assurance part of me). Now, God has blessed me, has satisfied my Love for computers and for those gadgets/tools, and has given me the ability and the opportunity to write blogs about Him, which are also optimized for and readable on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). Therefore, I am surely happy to see the result of my obedience to Him, to achieve and to fulfill that great dream, and to reach that great “encompassing” goal. In this very specific case, the dream was "to share the Love of Jesus Christ with others, and to spread that Great Love to as many people as possible"; the goal was "to take the effective steps to make it happened". Our "Many Thanks" go to Google ™: they have created and provided for free "the ideal platform" to combine the dream and the goal, and to tie them altogether. Again, may God richly bless Google ™.

I Love to listen to great music and I Love to play music. I also Love music videos and big theater movies that are the fabulous combination of big screen film coupled with majestic and immersive sound. My very first job in life, in my very younger age, was at a select and very classy theater where I have seen a lot of great Jazz, musical, classical/ballet performances. I have also seen a lot of great movies in my life. Now to have my own where everything is combined and encapsulated into one media center as my hobby and my favorite pastime, and also where the sky is the limit of the possibilities, makes me very happy.

In other words, as we stay closer to God, Jesus Christ, He gives us ideas about what to do and where to go. In return, we faithfully obey Him, we follow His instructions that are very “specific to ourselves personally and individually”. We then design, tailor and "Create Our World" based on our personal dreams, and based on what God has deposited inside of us for ourJoy, for our Happiness, for our own Success, and as per His Divine Plan to prosper us "individually" (Jeremiah 29:11) for His Divine Glory. And this is just one example (or one story) out of many others that are kept wrapped up and untold.

To Love ourselves is to develop self-confidence, to study, to push the barriers of our identified limitations as far as possible, to educate ourselves as much as possible, not only to have an institutional and academic education as our profession and as our trade, but also to be knowledgeable in the things of God. Therefore, we must study, make the time to read our Bible, and do research about the Word of God. We must take the time to ponder and to meditate on what we read, on what we study, on what we discover, on what has been revealed to us, and on what God means to us. We must appreciate the value and we must treasure the necessity and the fact of having God in our lives so that we may know by faith that we have astrong anchor when challenges, trials, storms and testing come upon our lives.

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17). The faith that we develop when we Love God, when we study the Word of God, when we readinsightfully the Word of God (the Bible), and when we are connected to God, will carry us through those unwanted moments and will make us victors and not victims, conquerors and not oppressed, champions and not losers, achievers and not victimized, the head and not the tail, rich and not poor, the top and not the bottom, resourceful and not dependent. Because of our faith in God, the fruit of our hands shall be life, our products and our produce shall be plentiful and ready to be harvested at all times. We are then able and ready to share, to give, to help others in short-term need, to alleviate the burdens of others, to guide and to equip others for long-term self-sustainability.

When we Love ourselves that much and apply the same wealth, the same depth, the same size, the same magnitude, the same passion of our Love of ourselves towards loving others (“Love your neighbor as yourself”), God will be very pleased and very happy with us, and His dreams and His plans for humanity through us, being His chosen ones, His hands extended, His equipped ones, His trusted ones and His empowered ones, will then be fulfilled.

On a flipped side and on a careful note, we must be aware that this Love for ourselves is not a “Narcissistic Love of ourselves”, meaning self-admiration, self-adoration, or even self-idolatry. Narcissus, in the Greek Mythology, was that man renowned for his great beauty who fell in love with his own image that he admired when he discovered and saw the refection of his own face in the waters of a pool. He did not realize that the image that he saw was the reflection of his own face.

To Love ourselves is to have a realistic and a practical type of Love for ourselves where we do what it takes to assure self-dependency, auto-sufficiency, self-sustainability, “amphibian, all-terrain and all-weather” type of living where we are equipped, ready to live, to face challenges and to survive under all life conditions, either good or adverse. Because of the self-empowerment that comes from being educated, equipped, a go-getter, and from having an entrepreneurial spirit and a propulsive determination, we are able and capable to "bounce back higher" by faith and with confidence regardless of our setbacks.

As we Love ourselves so much, and after we Love ourselves that much, will we "then" be able to manifest our altruistic love and our philanthropic kindness "unselfishly" towards others, and towards those in need of our help. Our hearts will be compelled to answer the call and to respond to the cry of the destitute and the desperate ones. We will not turn our heads the other way, nor will we plug our ears, direct our eyes on the opposite side to avoid seeing, taking, accepting and acting on our responsibilities, and to default from doing our part and from offering our share of help.

We thank God for His matchless Love for us. We thank God for teaching us, for training us and for showing us examples about how to Love. We are a work in progress and we hope someday to fully meet all the requirements as per God’s standards and expectations. Until then, we are seriously learning and practicing as we go. Our goal is to hit the mark as we pursue our desire to Love God, to Love others and to Love ourselves more and more daily.

According to the English Dictionary God meaning

WHO IS GOD

Who is GOD?

According to the English Dictionary God meaning God ɡɒd/ noun

1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.

A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in most of the religions.

Before we speak about God. Lets see some differences between man and God.

Let us see some differences between GOD Vs ManCreator :

God is a creator of all living things on the Earth and He created the universe. He will always create new things. Only God has power to give life and take life.

Man is created by God. Man is uses the things that are created by God. He cannot created living things. He cannot give life to anything. He can take away the life from living thing.

Power:

Man uses power which is given by God. God has given some powers to man. This powers are used by man.

Perfect :

God is perfect in all the things He does. We cannot find faults in His works. We can only enjoy the things given by Him. God makes everything perfect in first Go.

Worshiped :

God is always worshiped and He is praised by many people and angles. His worship is not just to one Generation. In all Generations He is praised and worshiped.

Man is not worthy to be worshiped as the creator of Mankind should be worshiped.

Let go some deep into the topic :Who created God:

God is not created by man. But who created God, we actually don’t know this. This is a Mistry from ages. But we are sure that God created all mankind and all living things that exists.

Who and What Is God?

A GOD FAMILY WITH TWO MEMBERS

CHRIST ALWAYS EXISTED

John 17 talks about the glory that He had before the world was, which leads us to our second point. The first

point was that God is a family with two members; the second point is that Christ always existed.

Remember, in John chapter 1 we read, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.” The Word, Christ, was there in the beginning.

Colossians chapter 1, verses 15-17, says in the King James Version, “All things were created by Him and for Him.” This is further proof that Jesus Christ created all things.

GOD’S COMPOSITION AND SHAPE

4, verse 24: “’God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.’” God’s composition is spirit.

Turn to Genesis chapter 5, verse 1: “This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.” Again this is showing that we look like God.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Our fourth point answers the question: What is the Holy Spirit? We are going to find that the Holy Spirit is

the power of God but not part of any kind of trinity, as many believe believe. The word “trinity” is found

nowhere in the Bible.

THE CHARACTER OF GOD

Who Is God?

Who is God? What is He like? Six personality traits of God...

He is Knowable.

He is Approachable.

"The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth." (Psalms 145:18)

He is Creative.

He is Forgiving.

He is Honest.

"The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path." (Psalms 119:130,105)

He is Capable.

"No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame..." (Psalms 25:3)

Who is God?

I Am!

When Moses talked to God at the burning bush, he asked Him His name. God replied merely, "I am that I am," referring to His self-existence, the Being of beings, eternal and unchangeable.

Rich Deem

Who is God?

Where is God?

God?

What does God look like?

What does God want from me?

Conclusion

How Can I Know That God Is Real?

People can know the reality of love, but science cannot prove love. People can know the reality of God, but not through scientific research.

What Is God Like?

Theologians have tried to describe God in many ways.

On the other hand, we can describe God by contrasting Him with our human limitations. For example, we are mortal, but God is immortal. We are fallible, but God is infallible.

How Can There Be A Trinity , A Three-In-One God?

The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, proceeds from the Father and is worshiped and glorified together with the Father and the Son.

If God Is All-Powerful, Why Doesn't He Destroy Satan?

If God just reached out with His power and struck Satan, other created beings could say He did it because He could not win by love, and so He had to resort to force and fear.

Why is There Suffering in the World?

The problem is not caused by an act of God, but it stems from man's foolishness over a period of years, perhaps centuries. And the problems are steadily compounded over successive generations.

God answers this question specifically in the Bible. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).

Who is God?

Because of the Trinity, God can become flesh in the form of the Son and still exist in such a way that He can run the universe. Therefore, the Son can communicate to us on our level.

Following are a couple verses that hint at the Trinity.

Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."

2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
