Why Do Religions Believe In God?
The Most High God Calls Every Person To Recognise Their Wrong
God is completely righteous without having even the slightest shade of bad in His character.
God is the initiator of honesty, patience, holiness, love, purity and so much more. And that is exactly how He made this planet.
Do You Really Know About God Most High?
It's not something that God just chose to enact, to make life more complicated for you, it truly is just who He is. God is not able to be anything else, or act another way. Every one of His governing laws are there to protect His holy nature and to guard humans.
These things were designed INTO the whole universe, and built into mankind.
God Most High cannot do anything at all that contradicts His Nature. You may think of it as the 'permanent governing laws of the universe.'
So, the God of the Holy Bible is the Grand Architect God of the entire universe, as well as the architect of the minutest element of an electron, which is unseen by us. Now this is what God's Word states of the God of Heaven:
I am the LORD; that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images. (Isaiah 42:8) For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. (Psalm 113:4)
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all. (1 Chronicles 29:11)
All the angels stood around the throne...and they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11)
How did I lay the foundation for the earth? Were you there?..... (Job 38:4)
Doubtless , thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great!..... (Job 38:21)
can thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?..... (Job 38:31)
And the Lord went on, and said to Job : Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. Job answered the LORD, ?I am nothing?how could I ever find the answers? I will cover my mouth with my hand. I have spoken once, and I do not answer, born? And twice, and I do not add.?..... "Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified? And do you have an arm like God? And do you thunder with a voice like His? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
Job said: ?You have known that for all things You are able, born? And no purpose is withheld from You. You asked, ?Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?? Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. You said, ?Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.? I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees You. That is why I take back what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry." (Job 42:1-6)
"Happy are the poor in spirit; because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:3)
Most people nowadays, have only heard about God, they haven't really encountered Him.
Then why, do we pridefully demand answers from Sovereign God, to everything we don't agree with? Obviously, the practical queries we have of real justice and the guiltless that suffer are correct, but still not to the extent where we can command the Supreme God to offer humans an explanation of His seemingly stupid handling of things.
Any Handmade Man Is Lawfully Owned By Its Designer
The Creator God not only is the owner of the whole cosmos, but He also is the owner of us as well, and what He wants is what is His. His command is to love and serve Him in return. It may be difficult to accept, but this planet is His business, and He will create it however He wants. If you or I made it, we can set the terms and conditions. However, the Most High God proclaims:
'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul.' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)
If Sovereign God Sought After Bots He Might Have Created Us As Automatons
God could have removed all threats from this life, to make life less difficult, but only by making everyone as subservient robots. Except that is certainly not what He wished for.
God Most High desired an individual that had a choice about how they lived and are able to willingly choose to be devoted to Him.
A living being somewhat similar to Himself.
If You Assign Each Of Them With Independent Choice You Might Lose These Children
However, the problem with giving your generated living being their own autonomy, is that they might rebel against you, and that is precisely what we did.
This is a catastrophe, think about all those occasions we do or think about think about or do that are wrong, this is often also known as wickedness in the Scriptures, they totally infringe on God's nature and godliness, and once again, you could say an offense against the Changeless Laws of the very universe - the controlled universe He created. These sins have separated us from the Most High God.
'The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is desperately sick: who can know it?' (Jeremiah 17:9)
'Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.' (Psalm 19:12)
Visualize it like this horrifying contrast. A fresh sterile wipe removed from a brand new unopened packet to deal with your nasty bleeding cut, compared with a used, dirty wipe that has been sat and walked upon for 7 days from the doctor's area floor or seats. How would you feel? Woh, foul. Now, that is merely a sniff of how Almighty God is revolted by our actions that are wrong, even the so-called little stuff we did wrong as well as bad thinking, that offend God's righteousness, and breaks the immutable governing laws of the universe.
Even the wrong things we regard as little, for instance: neglecting God our Creator, not forgiving some person that maltreated us, resentfulness, snobbishness and blasphemies, and a countless of other things.
Sinfulness Will Be Paid In Full And Sovereign God Collects On The Debt
Our sins are debts to God:
'And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.' (Matthew 6:12)
All these occurrences assault the everlasting purity, holiness and authority of the Most High God. For any instance we act them, it is slapping the face of the Most High God. In the Bible, contained in His Law, God pronounces that it is bad to thieve, have you at any time thieved anything at all in your life? God declares that we give honor to our father and mother. Did you ever talkback to your father or mother? God pronounces never to use God's Holy name in vain or flippantly. Have you ever desecrated His Name? God pronounces don't long for stuff that belong to others. Have you on any occasion been craving to have another person's life, house, partner or things?
The Creator God from whom no little thing is hidden. And, each and every evil MUST be put right. The time is soon coming when every evil MUST be judged, or you might say, clear the account to be compatible with the unchangeable governing laws of the very universe. Or as the Word of God calls it; to conciliate the fury of Sovereign God. This may come as a shock to most, given that they are told that Holy God treasures all and sundry endlessly, that they have the idea that God can hardly be outraged with anybody due to any evil they do.
Over and over I find people, unaware of these fundamentals, contending ?Hey, I have been told that God endlessly loves people? What is this added requirement on sinlessness??
And I enlighten them, "Certainly, He actually does love the world, nonetheless you won't be able to receive the love side of Almighty God and take no notice of the righteousness side. It is not possible. It is definitely explained in Scripture, and people are not usually told about this key fact. Regrettably, in this time in history people only convey the nice things, not the whole unpleasant teaching.
You are unable to know the Heavenly God by means of our worldly values, anticipations and conduct. God Most High actually is ?from a different place and time? and He shows humans exactly who, He really is and about how He operates in the Bible. Demanding that He abide by our system, only gives us a pointless hopefulness in something that is not real and will end eventually.
Human beings wrongly fault Almighty God for the catastrophic events in life, however, it is hardly God?s inadequacy. He made all things superbly, Adam botch it and we continue to screw up. They infringe on God's nature and godliness; the 'permanent governing laws of the universe.' God could not just come in and make it all nice for humankind. The order or progression of things that The Creator God set in place, has to come to it's natural conclusion.
Every single sin debt has to be paid.
Having said that, God offered a means for all our wrong to be punished, to meet the spiritually legal conditions of God's everlasting Law, the established law of the universe. That breathtaking means, was the crucifying, death, burial and the resurrection of His Only Son, Christ. And, this breathtaking strategy was carried out openly in front of the audience of all creation in the universe ? mankind, angels and Satan.
Jesus was the unblemished sacrificial Lamb that can pay for our evil; thoughts, attitudes and ways. No other way is able to pay for all our bad stuff.
The Bible says:
'For all have sinned (done wrongs stuff), and failed of the glory of God;' (Romans 3:23)
So, merely living 'a good' life and doing 'good' things will never rescue humans from the awful punishment of the bad thoughts, attitudes and ways, only Jesus Christ can. If the only thing we do each day is to be a very good man or woman and even go to church, that will not rescue any person and will not permit anybody to experience heaven. That means, going away to the Lake of Fire, that's hell:
'The payment for sin is death, but the gift that God freely gives is everlasting life found in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 6:23)
Truly, it is not being good that will save you humans, you need to apologise for all of the bad things you have done, and obey God. I will describe this further in a moment.
Due to this I find that attending funerals of a non-Christian pains me greatly. Now this is also the reason my highest priority during life is informing others about who God actually is. To say to others who never go to church, and, to others that do go to church but still still haven't correctly grasped what it was really about. The misconception of God is widespread, and is for the reason that the message they listened to was not clear or it was weakened by the unsound beliefs of the current philosophical system, from church leaders continually seeking to cause the Everlasting, Unchangeable Almighty God to seem as if He is just a kindly, warm grandpa form of god, lacking His perfect perfection and the judgment of wrong stuff. That is undoubtedly a bogus god of their imagination.
Over and over I listen to a person questioning ?Tell me how can God act like this, I thought He loves us?? Correct, but we will never eliminate His judgment of wrong stuff, when His Bible declares a whole lot more regarding His piety and judgment of wrong stuff, than His great love.
It is not possible to perceive the truths of the Immortal God using our perspectives and our life. God Most High truly is ?out of this world? and He declares to the human race who He really is and the manner in which He governs in the Holy book. Imagining he might conform to your own principles, merely provides us with a hazardously mistaken picture of The God of Heaven.
But, consider, you will find no means to trick God into thinking you truly belong to Him when you are not sincere. Almighty God knows everything you think.
However, Submit To God And Human Beings Do Not Need To Pay Off This Deficit
In order to have these trespasses discharged and be preserved from the lake of fire, is to recognise how bad we are in front of a Sinless God, and to tell God that we are apologizing for our wrongdoing. And next to completely hand over one's being to Him, and be subject to God as boss for the rest of our life. That, is the right order of our existence on the earth He formed for His delight:
'And he said before everyone, ?Whoever is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, let him take up his cross everyday, and let him come after me.?' (Luke 9:23)
Jesus Christ in no way said ?Simply be a good or pleasant person, undertake many good things for other people, and you will not go to the lake of fire .?
Actually, this is what the Creator God declared as regards being pardoned of your sinfulness:
'To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
?Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, 'O God, I thank you that I'm not like other people?thieves, dishonest people, adulterers, or even this tax collector. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. "But the tax-collector, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but was smiting his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.?' (Luke 18:9-14)
The Religious man in this story does not do the so-called ?bad' sins like kidnap, as we like to say, nevertheless he did not receive a pardon by God.
But the collector of taxes does do ?bad' sins yet was pardoned by God, for the reason that he genuinely grieved over his sin.
It is a humbling step to say that we are and have been, sinful and to give up our life utterly to God. But lacking it we will not be rescued from our transgressions, we must come to Almighty God humble and weak. Jesus said :
'Then He called a child to Him and had him stand among them. and said, "Truly I say to you, if you are not converted and become as the little children, you shall never enter into the kingdom of the heavens.' (Matthew 18:2-3)
Just By Doing Wonderful Things For Sovereign God Cannot Rescue Humans
'God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can?t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.' (Ephesians 2:8)
Surrender To God And Permit The Lord Jesus To Pay Off All Your Obligation Or Go Through It All Alone??
'And he said before everyone, ?Whoever is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, let him take up his cross everyday, and let him come after me.?' (Luke 9:23)
This, ?Pick up our cross every day? signifies, we have got to be living in a self-sacrificing way each day for God.
The Bible also says:
'I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, by means of reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)
'But have reverence for Christ in your hearts, and honor him as Lord. Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you.' (1Peter 3:15)
To sum up: Almighty God gets to be your chief executive. Always. And as His Book commands, we live for Jesus Christ, studying the Bible, in? prayer each day, informing other people about the Creator God, and serving people as we are guided to. He, is our assignment and reason for all of our lifetime.
A True Christian of the Bible
