How Can You Tell That You Believe In God?

 

The Most High God Summons Each Person To Recognise Their Wrong

God is wholly righteous without ever having even the least shade of bad in His character.
God is the initiator of purity, honesty, patience, holiness, love and infinitely more than that. And that is exactly how He built the world.

The Whole Truth In Relation To The Creator God

It isn't something that God simply decided to do, to make life difficult for us, it IS who He is. He can never be anything else, or do anything else. Every one of His governing laws are there to safeguard His holy disposition and to protect you and I.
These dynamics were designed 'into' the whole cosmos, and also, formulated into humankind.
He will not do something that is contrary to His Nature. One may refer to it as the 'abiding governing laws of the universe.'
So, the God of the Holy Bible is the Great Maker God of the whole cosmos, as well as the architect of the littlest component of an atom, which is unseen by us. Scripture states this of Holy God:

"I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images. (Isaiah 42:8) Because the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
LORD JEHOVAH is high over all the nations and his honor is above Heaven. (Psalm 113:4)
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and Thou art exalted as head above all. (1 Chronicles 29:11)
And all the angels were standing around the throne...And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God. (Revelation 7:11)
"Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding... (Job 38:4)
Thou knowest, for thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great!..... (Job 38:21)
Wilt thou bind the bands of the cluster, or wilt thou open the cords of Orion?..... (Job 38:31)
Moreover Yahweh answered Job, but you have argued that I am wrong. Now you must answer me. And Job answers Jehovah and says: What could I possibly answer, since I have been speaking thoughtlessly? I will place my hand over my mouth. I have spoken once, but I have no answer?twice, but I have nothing to add.?..... Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right? ?Have you an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: -- I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you. you asked, 'Who is this who darkens counsel without knowledge?' But I have declared without understanding things too wonderful for me to know. "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.' I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye seeth thee. Therefore I take back my words and repent in dust and ashes. (Job 42:1-6)
Blessed are the poor in pride, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3)


The majority of humanity nowadays, have only heard about God, they are yet to actually found Him.
Then why, do people conceitedly insist on explanations from the Creator God, to the things we disagree with? Obviously, the big questions we have of the innocent who suffer and of universal justice are correct, yet not to the point where we can demand that the Supremely powerful God Most High to offer humans an explanation of His seemingly inadequate handling of this life.

The Developer Is The Owner Of Their Own Personal Handiwork, That's The Law

God Most High not only is the owner of the whole universe, but He also is the owner of us as well, and all He requires is that which is His. His requirement is to be devoted to Him in turn. It may be difficult for you to accept, but this world is His business, and He is able to build it however He wishes. If I or you produced it, we would make the terms and conditions. However, God Most High states:

'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words which I command you this day shall be in your heart.' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)

If Sovereign God Desired Robots He May Have Constructed The Human Race As Robotic Machines

God may possibly have removed every dangers out of your life, to make this life less difficult, but only by creating every individual as subservient robots. Except that is absolutely not what He sought.
He desired an individual that had the ability to choose how they lived and are able to willingly decide to be devoted to Him.
A living being somewhat like what He is.

A Particular Danger Of Awarding Humans Independent Choice

But, the risk with giving your produced life form their own autonomy, is that they may forsake the creator, and that is exactly what we have done.
This is a problem, consider all those things we do and also think about think about and also do which are wrong, it is often called trespassing in the Bible, they absolutely violate God's order and purity, and again, you may possibly say violating the Changeless Governing laws of the cosmos - the ordered cosmos He produced. These sins have removed us from God.

'The heart is deceitful above all things, And it is incurable?who knows it?' (Jeremiah 17:9)

'But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.' (Psalm 19:12)

Visualize it like this vile comparison. A fresh sterilized swab removed from a brand new unopened packing to clean your nasty bleeding wound, in comparison with a used, unsterilized swab which has been sat and walked upon for one week off the waiting area seating or floor. Ask yourself how would you feel? Ick, nauseating. Now, that is only a sniff of how God Most High is repulsed by our actions that are wrong, which includes the seemingly unimportant things we do wrong and sometimes bad attitudes, that offend God's honour, and violates the unalterable governing laws of the universe.
Even the bad things we believe are unimportant, such as: resentfulness, disregarding Holy God our Maker, pride, refusing to forgive someone that ill-treated us and blasphemous words, and so many more.

All Of These Wrong Things Are A Obligation That Have To Be Paid Out, To A Most Holy God

Our sins are debts to God:
'and forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors.' (Matthew 6:12)

Every one of these instances offend the sheer pureness, honour and leadership of the Most High God. Each time we behave one, it is hitting the face of the Most High God. In the Bible, contained in the 10 Commandments, The Lord states you are not to use God's Name in vain meaning, disrespectfully. Have you ever desecrated His Name? The Lord states do not long for things that belong to others. Have you even once had a strong desire to possess a friend's lifestyle, house, wife or stuff? The Lord states that it is bad to steal, have you at any time stolen something in your life? The Lord says that we respect our mother and father. Did you ever show disrespect to your father?

Sovereign God from whom nothing is invisible. And, ALL wrong MUST be judged. The time is coming when every single wrong MUST be convicted and judged, or it could be said, clear the account to syncretize with the unalterable governing laws of the cosmos. Or as the Scriptures describes it; to pacify the rage of the Most High God. This will astonish almost everyone, since they are generally told that God Most High loves everybody boundlessly, that they have the idea that God would not be wrathful with anyone due to any wrong they have done.

Constantly I find people, ignorant of these basics, argue ?So how exactly does a loving God be like that? What's this added condition on righteousness??

To which I answer, "Certainly, He actually does love humanity, however, humans are unable to acquire the love dimension of God Most High and disregard the sinlessness dimension. It definitely is impossible. It is unmistakably proclaimed in Scripture, and people are hardly ever told of it. Regretfully, in this generation pastors mostly only tell the nice teachings, rather than the whole unpleasant truth.
People will not understand the Eternal God by with our human standards, dreams and conduct. Sovereign God genuinely is ?not of this world? and He explains to humans who He really is and how He rules in his book. Expecting Him to abide by our system, only gives us a pointless hopefulness in a belief that is not genuine and will fall apart one day soon.
People incorrectly blame Sovereign God for the disasters in life, but it is not God?s doing. He created everything flawlessly, Adam screwed up and we continue to screw up. They violate God's order and purity; the 'abiding governing laws of the universe.' Holy God cannot simply come in and make all things good for humankind. The pattern or course of things that Sovereign God started, has to come to it's normal conclusion.
Every single debt of transgression must be paid.

But, God made available a means for our evil to be paid for, to meet the spiritually legal demands of God's eternal Law, the established law of the universe. And that incredible means, was the ultimate sacrifice, dying, burial and the resurrection of His Son, Jesus. And, this incredible accomplishment was carried out in public in front of all creation ? humans, angelic beings and the fallen angels.
Jesus was the perfect sacrificial payment that can pay the bill for your bad stuff; thinking, attitudes and behavior. No other method is able to pay for all our wrong.
The Bible says:

'For all have sinned (done wrongs things) and are short of the glory of God:' (Romans 3:23)
So, solely being a 'really good little boy or girl? and doing much good will never rescue us from the dire punishment of the evil thinking, attitudes and behavior, only Jesus Christ can. If the only thing we do in this world is to be a good man or woman and even go to church, that cannot rescue anybody and do not permit any person to enter heaven. That means, going to Gehenna, which is hell:

'For the wages of sin is death, but the free grace-gift of God- life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 6:23)

It is a fact, it is not being good that saves you and I, you need to apologise for all of the bad things you do, and be a servant of God. I will explain this further shortly.

Because of this I find that being at funerals of a person who is not a Christian troubles me deeply. Now this is also the reason my main priority in this life is sharing with people about who the Creator God really is. To reveal to people who do not attend church, as well as, to those who actually do attend church but still do not properly understood the truth. The misunderstanding of the Creator God is prevalent, and is because the preaching they listened to was unclear or it was jeopardised by the deceptive ideas of the current philosophical system, from teachers perpetually endeavoring to make the Timeless, Changeless God Most High to appear as if He is only a kind, huggable great grandfather kind of god, without His perfect perfection and the judgment of wrong stuff. That is certainly a false god of their feelings.
Regularly I listen to a person asking ?How could God act like that, Christians say He loves us?? Yes, but you can't ignore Almighty God's judgment of wrong stuff, when His Holy Bible declares way more in relation to His sinlessness and judgment of wrong stuff, than His great love.
It is impossible to appreciate the Immortal God using our thinking and practices. Sovereign God actually is ?not of this world? and He teaches us who He really is and that He operates in the Scriptures. Expecting Him to adhere to our principles, simply provides us with a dangerously mistaken notion of God Most High.
Now consider, there is no possible means to hide it from God when you don't really mean it. Almighty God knows all your thoughts.

Succumb Utterly To God And Our Very Own Debts Are Paid

In order to have all your transgressions discharged and get a passport to heaven, is to realize how sinnful we are in front of a Perfect God, and to say that we are grieved by everything we did wrong. And after that to utterly give up your own life to Him, and become a trainee of Him as boss for the remainder of our existence. Fundamentally this, is the true pattern of humans in the world He built for Himself:

'Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.' (Luke 9:23)

Jesus Christ didn't say ?Simply be a good or sweet person, perform some good stuff for others, and then you will never be sent to hell .?
No, this is what God declared about when you're pardoned of your sin:

'Jesus also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves, thinking they were righteous, but who looked down on everyone else:
"Once there were two men who went up to the Temple to pray: one was a Pharisee, the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and began praying this in regard to himself: ?God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, crooked, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I keep a fast twice a week, I pay the tenth of all things I possess. The tax collector, however, stood far off and would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, be merciful to me, sinner that I am!'
I tell you this man went home approv'd as just, and not the other, for whoever exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.' (Luke 18:9-14)

The Teacher of the law in this parable is not doing the presumed ?bad' evil like kidnap, as we say, but he was not forgiven by Holy God.
Yet, the tax gatherer does do ?bad' evils but was pardoned by God, due to the fact that he really repented.
It is a humiliating experience to confess we are and have been, bad and to give up our existence totally to the Creator God. But without it we would not be protected from our sinfulness, we have got to come to Sovereign God submissive and incapable. Jesus said :

'Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. and said, Truly I say unto you, unless you may be converted, and become as little children, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.' (Matthew 18:2-3)

Only By Doing Big Stuff For Sovereign God Cannot Protect Us

'For it is by grace God?s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ that you have been saved actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life through faith. And this salvation is not of yourselves not through your own effort, but it is the undeserved, gracious gift of God.' (Ephesians 2:8)

Therefore, Will You Pay For Your Individual Debt In Hell For Ever And Ever??

'Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.' (Luke 9:23)

To ?Take up your cross each day? indicates, we must serve in a self-denying fashion daily for His Purpose.
The Bible also says:

'I beg you therefore, my brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God by a logical service. (Romans 12:1)

'But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.' (1Peter 3:15)

To paraphrase: Jesus Christ will become your administrator. Your entire life. And as His Book commands, we live for God, reading the Bible, praying day by day, informing others who God is, and serving anyone as we are lead to. He, really is our goal and reason for the rest of our lives.
