Who is God?💞

💞

God is the All-Powerful Creator of the universe.

God has been God for all of eternity. Nothing caused Him to exist. He had no beginning, and he will have no end.

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:1

Moreover, he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. Exo 3:6

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exo 3:14

And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD Exo 6:2

For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Deu 4:24

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD. Deu 6:4

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24 KJV:

God Is Infinite – He is Self-Existing, Without Origin

·        "And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." - Colossians 1:17

God Is Immutable – He Never Changes

·        “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.” Malachi 3:6

·        God does not change.

God Is Self-Sufficient – He Has No Needs

·        “For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.” – John 5:26

·        As limited humans, we have incredible needs, which left unfulfilled, result in death. God, however, has never once been in need of anything.

God is Omnipotent – He Is All Powerful

·        “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.” – Psalm 33:6.

·        God is strong and mighty (Psalm 24:8).

·        Nothing is too hard for Him to accomplish (Genesis 18:14; Jeremiah 32:17, 27; Luke 1:37).

·        God is called "Almighty," portraying Him as the One who possesses all power and authority (2 Corinthians 6:18; Revelation 1:8).

·        Paul says that God is "able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20).”

God Is Omniscient – He Is All-Knowing [God is omniscient, which means he knows everything].

·        “Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please” - Isaiah 46:9-10

God Is Omnipresent – He Is Always Everywhere

·        “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol [hell] , behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.” Psalm 139:7-10

·        “‘Am I a God at hand,’ declares the Lord, ‘and not a God afar off? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him?’ declares the Lord. ‘Do I not fill heaven and earth?’ declares the Lord” - Jeremiah 23:23-24

God Is Good – He Is Infinitely, Unchangingly Kind, and Full of Good Will

·        “O, taste and see that the Lord is good” – Psalm 34:8

God Is Wise – He Is Full of Perfect, Unchanging Wisdom

·        “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” – Romans 11:33

God Is Faithful – He Is Infinitely, Unchangingly True

·        "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands." - Deut 7:9

·        “[I]f we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13

God Is Just – He Is Infinite, Unchangeably Right and Perfect in All He Does

·        "The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.” – Duet 32:4

·        What does it mean that God is just? He always does what is right and good toward all men

God Is Merciful – He is Infinitely, Unchangeably Compassionate and Kind

·        “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy." - Romans 9:15-16

God Is Gracious – God Is Infinitely Inclined to Spare the Guilty

·        "The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness." – Psalm 145:8

·        If mercy is not getting what we do deserve (damnation), grace is getting what we don’t deserve (eternal life).

God Is Loving – God Infinitely, Unchangingly Loves Us

·        “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.  Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” - 1 John 4:7-8

God Is Holy – He is Infinitely, Unchangingly Perfect

·        “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord Almighty” – Revelation 4:8 The word holy means sacred, set apart, revered, or divine. That God is holy means he is endlessly, always perfect He wants for perfection us as well. “Therefore, you are to be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect,” Jesus says in Matthew 5:48.

God Is Glorious – He is Infinitely Beautiful and Great

·        “His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And there is the hiding of His power.” - Habakkuk 3:4

·        Isaiah 43:7 says that man was created by God for his glory. So our whole existence and purpose is to glorify him, as we are created in his image and do the good work he has prepared for us to do.

Remarriage according to the scriptures: What You Really Need to Know

-
OLD VS NEW TESTAMENT ON MARRIAGE, DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE   1. Marriage is God’s design, not a human invention Key Scriptures: Genesis 2:18, 24 “It is not good that the man should be alone…” “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” → Marriage originates in creation, before law or nationhood. Proverbs 18:22 “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Proverbs 19:14 “A prudent wife is from the LORD.” ✅ Marriage is portrayed as God‑given, not culturally invented. 2. Divorce is permitted but regulated, never celebrated Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 24:1–4 → Divorce is allowed, but with: Legal process (certificate) Moral limits Permanent consequences (no return to first spouse) Malachi 2:14–16 “…the wife of thy covenant… therefore take heed to your spi...

The history of meat consumption in the Bible

The History of Meat  Consumption The history of meat consumption in the Bible follows a distinct trajectory: beginning with a plant-based ideal, transitioning into a regulated sacrificial system, and finally moving toward a "liberty-first" approach in the New Testament. 1. The Edenic Ideal (Creation) According to Genesis 1:29 , humanity was originally given a vegetarian diet. God provided "every seed-bearing plant" and "every tree that has fruit with seed in it" for food. At this stage, there was no recorded death of animals for human consumption. 2. The Post-Flood Permission The shift to meat-eating occurs after the Great Flood. In Genesis 9:3 , God gives Noah a new mandate: "Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything." However, a strict boundary was set: humans were forbidden from eating meat that still had the "lifeblood" in it, establishing the sanctit...

YOUR LEGAL RIGHT- HOW TO TAKE IT FROM THE DEVIL?

-
Image
Your Legal Right The core idea is that while God's authority is absolute , Satan, as the "ruler of this world,"  can sometimes gain what is referred to as a  "legal right"  or a  "foothold"  in a person's life.  This is not a right given by God, but rather an opportunity or permission granted by the  person themselves, either knowingly or unknowingly. The good news is that for a believer  in Christ, this "right" can be broken. The Foundation of Your Legal Right in Christ The primary legal right you have is not one you take from the devil, but one that was already purchased for you by Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear that through His death and resurrection, Jesus has stripped the devil of all authority over those who belong to Him Satan has power, but he cannot use his power against us unless we give him the right. Take the story of Job into consideration  Job 1 . He could not touch Job’s life; he is unable...
