What Do They Say?
What Do People Say About God?
- There is no God.
- God is mysterious and cannot be known by anyone.
- God exists but does not care about us or anything we do.
- God and Mother Nature are one and the same.
- There are many different gods.
- We are all gods.
Sometimes their opinions contradict one another. Sometimes they are confusing.
What Does God Say About God?
To find out what God says about Himself we must look in the Bible, which is His Word. There we discover that:
- God knows all things, including all our thoughts, ways and words (Ps. 139:1-4).
- God can do all things; nothing is too hard for Him (Gen. 18:14).
- God is everywhere; no one can possibly hide from Him (Jer. 23:24).
- God is eternal; He has no beginning and no end (Ps. 90:2: Heb. 7:3).
- God is unchanging; He never changes and neither does His Word (Mal. 3:6; Jas. 1:17-18).
- God is holy; He cannot tolerate sin (Lev. 20:26; 1 Pet.1:15-16).
- God is love in His very nature (1 Jn. 4:8), and in His desire for us.
The Bible says this about Him: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (Jn. 3:16 NKJV).
It also says this: “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might have life through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (sacrifice) for our sins” (1 Jn. 4:9-10).
What Do You Say About God?
Are you going to believe the opinions of men or the Word of God?
“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (Jn. 3:36).
You must choose. Will it be the contradictory and confusing opinions of men, or the sure Word of God?
Make no mistake, your choice will affect you for all eternity! We can tell you more.
