In my 35 years of walking, running, falling and hiding from God, He has taught me a lot about who He is. He is the same today, yesterday, and forever. He doesn’t “change with the times”, or change His views in order to pacify the masses.
In my 35 years of walking, running, falling and hiding from God, He has taught me a lot about who He is. He is the same today, yesterday, and forever. He doesn’t “change with the times”, or change His views in order to pacify the masses.
He is true to who He is, who He says He is in His Word, and who He has shown himself to be in my life. He hasn’t changed one thing about His truth in order to hold my interest, or to make it easier for me. Putting human characteristics on a Holy, omniscient, omnipotent God brings Him down to our level.
Difference between us, and God:
God Sent His only Son to die on the cross for our sins.
Us We committed the sins He died for.
God Creator of the world and all that is in it.
Us Live in the world He created & get full use & enjoyment of all that was put here.
God Commands legions of angels
Us Control only our thoughts and those that we take care of.
God Wrote the greatest book and best seller of all time.
Us 100 years from now, no one will remember our accomplishments, or even our names.
God We cannot look upon Him and live.
Us He looks upon us and as sinful as we are, He choses to still love us.
God Is the Alpha & the Omega. He was here before time began. He created time so our lives have a beginning & an end.
Us We begat. He knows our coming in and our going out. All within the framework of time.
God He loves us in spite of who we are & the sins we have committed.
Us We judge others & spend years reading self-help books & talking to others in a vain attempt to improve ourselves so that we might be more lovable and more widely accepted.
God He is omniscient.
Us We think we are wise and well-educated and yet fail miserably at being humble, meek and loving.
God You shall have no other gods before Me (Exodus 20:3)
Us My god is....money....power....good works....possessions.....food.....entertainment.....etc.
