GOD
God is far great for us to fully understand. He has no beginning and He has no end. There is no place where His presence is not felt. The Bible asks in Job 11:7:”Can you fathom the Mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?”
God lives in Heaven and He rules over the whole earth. The Bible tells us: “This is what the Lord says: “heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool…”(Isa 66:1).
In this study we are going to be looking at special truths about God. These are the facts about God’s unchanging character. Through these you will understand more of what God is like. You will come to understand God and how He cares for you.
A. WHAT IS GOD LIKE?
1. God Is the Creator of Everything (Neh 9:6) (Ps139:13).
2. God Is All-Powerful (Rom 9:19-21, 1Chr 29:11,Eph 3:20)
3. God Is All-Knowing (Heb 4:13,1Jn 3:20)
4. God Is Holy (1Sam 2:2)
5. God Is a Spirit (Jn 4:24)
6. God Is a Person You Can Know (Jas 4:8, Ps 145:18)
7. God is A Loving Father (1Jn 3:1)
B. GOD IS TOO GREAT TO LIVE IN TEMPLES
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And human hands do not serve him, as if needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else… For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of you own poets have said. We are his offspring.” (Acts 17:24,25,28)
C. WE ARE:
1. Created By God (Ps 139:14-16).
2. Owned By God (1Cor 6:19,20)
3. Called to worship God (Rev 4:11)
D. MAKE A DECISION
Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (Matt 22:37)
The Bible tells us about a man called Joshua. He was a great leader of the nation of Israel.
The people had been wandering for forty years in the wilderness, without a land of their own. Joshua, under God’s direction, led them in victory against the evil nations living in Canaan, and possessed their land for the homeless nation of Israel.
Joshua then challenged all the people to make a decision.
“… choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, wether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD” (Josh 24:15)
The same challenge comes to each of us. Will you make the same commitment as Joshua this day?
COMMITMENT
This day I give my worship to the only true God of heaven and earth, and surrender my will, my life and possessions to Him. From this day I determine never to worship any other gods. My worship is for Him only, and I will teach others the truths about God.
A FINAL WORD
Remember the law of multiplying the Kingdom of God. It is your turn to teach someone else about God and teach them to teach another person.
