How Do I Believe In God?

 

The Holy God Most High Summons Every Person To Say They Are Sorry

God is wholly perfect devoid of even the slightest shade of bad in His nature.
Sovereign God is the inventor of honesty, patience, purity, holiness, love and infinitely more than that. And that is just how He made our world.

The Whole Truth About Almighty God

It is not an idea that God simply decided to enact, to make things harder for you, it IS just who He is. God Most High, can never become anything else, or do anything else. Every one of His commandments are in place to preserve His holy nature and to preserve you and I.
These governing laws were instituted INTO the entire universe, and of course, imprinted into the human race.
Sovereign God would not do anything at all that is contrary to His Being. One can label it the 'unchangeable governing laws of the whole cosmos.'
Hence, the Sovereign God of the Holy Bible is the Great Builder God of the entire universe, as well as the builder of the smallest element of an electron, which is too small to see. Here is what God's Word tells us of the God of Heaven:

I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols. (Isaiah 42:8) Because the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
High above all nations is Jehovah, Above the heavens is his honour. (Psalm 113:4)
Yours, O Lord, is magnificence and power and glory, and also victory; and to you is praise. For all the things that are in heaven and on earth are yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are above all rulers. (1 Chronicles 29:11)
And all the angels were standing around the throne...and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11)
Where were you when I founded the earth? Declare, if you have known understanding... (Job 38:4)
Know you it, because you were then born? or because the number of your days is great?..... (Job 38:21)
Can you arrange stars in groups such as Orion and the Pleiades?..... (Job 38:31)
Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said, ?Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who rebukes God give an answer.? And Job answered the LORD and said, Behold, I am nought: what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. Once I have spoken; but I will not answer; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further... Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me so that thou shalt be just? Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
Job said: "I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted; So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge. You told me to listen while you spoke and to try to answer your questions. ?I had heard of You only by the hearing of the ear, But now my spiritual eye sees You. Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, Seeing I am dust and ashes. (Job 42:1-6)
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens. (Matthew 5:3)


Generally, people at present, have only been told about God, they are yet to genuinely connected with Him.
So why then, do we haughtily demand explanations from Sovereign God, to pretty much everything we do not agree with? Certainly, the big concerns we have of universal justice and the guiltless who suffer are appropriate, but still not to the degree where we can demand that the Almighty Creator God to provide humans an account of His supposedly poor management of this life.

A Constructed Man Is Legally Owned By Its Creator

Sovereign God not only owns the universe, but He also owns us too, and all He requires is what is His. His command is to be devoted to Him in turn. It may be hard to swallow, but this planet is His enterprise, and He will formulate it how He chooses. If I or you produced it, we can lay down the terms and conditions. But, God states:

'and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)

If God Most High Wished For Robots He May Have Made The Human Race As Robotic Machines

God may possibly have taken every risk factor out of your life, to grant us a less troublesome life, but only by creating all of us as submissive robotic machines. However, that is definitely not what the Creator God desired.
He sought beings that enjoyed a choice about how they lived and would willingly decide to love Him.
A living being something similar to Himself.

There Is Hazard Of Granting You And I Autonomy

But, the problem with giving your generated creature their own autonomy, is that they may perhaps turn against you, and that is precisely what we did.
This is a problem, think about all the instances we commit or think think or commit which are bad, often also known as transgression in the Holy Bible, they outright attack Holy God's order and righteousness, and once again, you could say violating the Unchangeable Laws of the very universe - the ordered universe He created. These bad things have removed us from Sovereign God.

'Crooked is the heart above all things, And it is incurable -- who doth know it?' (Jeremiah 17:9)

'Who can understand his errors or omissions? Acquit me of hidden (unconscious, unintended) faults.' (Psalm 19:12)

Think about it like this vile contrast. A fresh sterile swab removed from a fresh unopened packing to clean your badly bleeding laceration, in comparison with a second-hand, dirty swab having been sat and stepped on for 30 days from the doctor's room flooring or chairs. Ask yourself how are you feeling? Eeeeooow, gross!. Well, that is merely a touch of how God Most High is repulsed by our actions that are bad, and that also means the so-called trivial things we did bad and sometimes sinnful thoughts, that trample on God's righteousness, and desecrates the unchangeable governing laws of the whole cosmos.
Even the wrong things we consider trivial, such as: not working for Almighty God, dishonesty, detesting someone, cusswords and being unthankful to God, and so many more.

Stains And Bad Stuff In Defiance Of A Righteous Holy God Have To Be Paid Back

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

These instances are a violation of the divine pureness, honor and supremacy of God Most High. Every instance we behave in those ways, it is giving God a bash in the face. In the Bible, contained in the 10 Commandments, God proclaims that it is bad to steal, have you at some time, stolen anything at all you needed? God proclaims do not covet others belongings. Have you even once been craving to possess a friend's lifestyle, home, husband or belongings? God proclaims never to use God's Holy name in vain or frivolously. Have you ever blasphemed His Name? God proclaims that we show respect to our parents. Have you ever talked back to your mother or father?

Almighty God from whom not anything is concealed. And, every single wrong has to be convicted and judged. The day is soon coming when every wrong MUST be judged, or it could be said, settle an account to syncretize with the unalterable governing laws of the very universe. Or as the Holy Bible calls it; to conciliate the rage of Almighty God. This may well come as a surprise to most, since they are generally told that Almighty God treasures everybody a great deal, that they think that Almighty God can not be angry with anybody because of any wrong they have done.

Frequently I find people, unaware of these principles, debating ?That isn't the sort of god I am familiar with? What's this added command on righteousness??

To which I respond, "Certainly, He does love people, but you are not able to possess the love dimension of God Most High and pay no heed to the sinlessness dimension. It definitely is out of the question. It is certainly explained in Scripture, and people are rarely told of it. Regretfully, in this generation teachers mostly just tell the nice teachings, not the entire unlikable truth.
People are unable to comprehend the Eternal God by using our worldly measures, calculations and behaviour. God Most High actually is ?out of this world? and He shows us just who, He really is and how He rules in the Word of God. Insisting that He follow our rules, just gives us a ineffective hopefulness in something that is not real and will crash and burn in the near future.
Some people mistakenly blame Almighty God for the disasters in life, however, it is in no way God?s fault. He created it all superbly, The first humans messed up and we continue to screw up. They attack Holy God's order and righteousness; the 'unchangeable governing laws of the whole cosmos.' Holy God cannot simply come in and make life perfect for humankind. The directives or process of the world that The Creator God started, must come to it's normal end.
Every debt of sin has to be paid for.

Having said that, God offered a strategy for our sin to be convicted and judged, to satisfy the spiritually legal demands of God's intractable Law, the uncompromising law of the whole cosmos. That magnificent strategy, was the crucifixion, death, burial and the resurrecting of His Son, The Lord Jesus. And, this magnificent act was performed in public before the audience of all creation in the universe ? mankind, angels and demons.
Jesus Christ was the perfect sacrifice that can pay the bill for your wrong; attitudes, conduct and thinking. Absolutely nothing else could pay for our wrong.
The Bible says:

'Because all people have sinned (done wrongs things), they have fallen short of God's glory.' (Romans 3:23)
So, just being a 'really good girl or boy ? and doing much good will not rescue people from the dreadful punishment of the sinnful attitudes, conduct and thinking, just Jesus can. If all we do each day is to be the perfect person and maybe even going to church, that doesn't rescue anybody and won't permit anyone to enter into heaven. This means, going to hell, also known as everlasting suffering:

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

Fundamentally, it is not being good that saves you and I, you need to apologise for the bad things you do, and obey God. I will explain this with more detail in a moment.

For this reason I find that being at funeral services of a person who is not a follower of Jesus Christ genuinely troubles me. This is also why my main ambition in life is telling people about who God actually is. To tell people who never go to church, as well as, to those who do go to church but still do not properly realized what it was really about. The false impression of God is common, and is for the reason that the message they heard was unclear or it was jeopardised by the incorrect ideas of present-day man, from pastors relentlessly endeavoring to make the Timeless, unchanging Great God to appear as if He is only a tender, cuddly grandfather sort of god, devoid of His awesome purity and the punishments of sinnful sins. Which is a bogus god of their feelings.
Repeatedly I hear atheists questioning ?So how could God be like this, Christians say He loves us?? That is true, but humans will not ignore God's scary justice, because His Holy Book says much more as regards His righteousness and scary justice, than His love.
You cannot appreciate the Timeless God with our perceptions and our existence. God Most High really is ?out of this world? and He tells humans who He really is and about how He operates in the Holy book. Expecting Him to conform to our standards, only provides us with a perilously mistaken view of God Most High.
And don't forget, there's no means to hide it from God when you are not authentic. God knows all your thoughts.

But, Surrender To God And Humankind Does Not Have To Pay Our Debt

The sole way to have the transgressions discharged and avoid hell, is to realise how bad we actually are before a Pure God, and to say that we are so sorry for everything we did bad. And also to utterly give up your own life to God, and conform to God as boss for the remainder of our life. Which, is the true configuration of this life in the universe He made for Himself:

'And He was saying to them all, ?If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.' (Luke 9:23)

Jesus Christ hasn't declare ?Just be a good or fine person, carry out some good stuff for others, and then you will be with me in the next life .?
Actually, this is what the Creator God said regarding when you're acquitted of your sinfulness:

'And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee was standing and praying like this about himself: ?God, I thank you that I?m not like other people?greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.? And the tax collector standing afar off was not willing even to lift up his eyes unto heaven, but was striking his breast, saying, God, extend propitiation to me, the sinner!
I say to you, that this man went down to his house more righteous than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled; and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.' (Luke 18:9-14)

The Teacher of the law in this teaching does not commit the so-called ?really bad' evil like kidnap, as we say, however he did not receive forgiveness by Holy God.
The taxman did do ?really bad' evils yet was acquitted by Sovereign God, because he rightly apologised.
It is a humiliating act to acknowledge we have been and are, wrong and to yield our life totally to God. Yet devoid of it we cannot be redeemed from our sinfulness, we have got to come to Almighty God meek and helpless. Jesus Christ said :

'And Jesus calling to Him a little child, set it in the midst of them. and said, Verily I declare unto you, unless ye be converted, and become like little children, ye shall never enter into the kingdom of heaven.' (Matthew 18:2-3)

Merely Doing Many Lovely Stuff For God Most High Will Not Protect Humans

'For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast.' (Ephesians 2:8)

Will You Choose Agony Or Give Up Your Lifetime To Almighty God?

'And He was saying to them all, ?If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.' (Luke 9:23)

This, ?Take up your cross on a daily basis? means, we have got to obey in a self-denying manner on a daily basis for God.
The Bible also says:

'I call on you, therefore, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies [as] a sacrifice?living, sanctified, acceptable to God?your intelligent service; (Romans 12:1)

'Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.' (1Peter 3:15)

In brief: Almighty God will become your administrator. For keeps. And as His Book teaches, we live for Sovereign God, reading the Bible, praying on a daily basis, telling others about the Sovereign God, and serving others as we are lead to. God Most High, really is our purpose and quest for the remainder of our life.
