How Do We Believe In God?

 

The Most High God Calls Every Person To Say They Are Sorry

God is utterly pure without even the slightest tint of evil in His character.
Sovereign God is the initiator of holiness, patience, honesty, purity, love and infinitely more than that. And that is exactly how He made the world.

The Whole Truth Regarding Almighty God

This is not a plan that God simply made a decision to do, to make things more complicated for us, it IS just who He is. God cannot ever be anything else, or do anything else. Each and every one of His commands are in place to safeguard His nature and to guard us.
These principles were instituted INTO the entire cosmos, and also, formulated into the human race.
The Holy God will never do anything that contradicts Himself. You can consider it the 'changeless laws of the cosmos.'
And so, the Sovereign God of the Holy Bible is the Grand Creator God of the whole cosmos, as well as the architect of the littlest piece of a proton, which is too small to see. The Word of God declares this of Holy God:

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. (Isaiah 42:8) Because the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
The LORD is far above all of the nations; he is more glorious than 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)
And all the angels stood around the throne...And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11)
Were you there when I made the world? If you know so much, tell me about it... (Job 38:4)
"You know, for you were born then, And the number of your days is great!..... (Job 38:21)
can thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?..... (Job 38:31)
And Jehovah answers Job and says: "Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it." Then Job replied to the LORD and said, Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay mine hand upon my mouth. I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.?..... Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous? "Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
Then Job answered the LORD, and said: I know that thou can do everything, and that thou can be hindered in no thought of thine. Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, and I will speak : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself , 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)


Most people at present, have only heard about God, they haven't genuinely met Him.
Then so why, do we arrogantly require explanations from the Great God, to the things we do not agree with? Of course, the significant queries we have of the not guilty who suffer and of real justice are appropriate, but still not to the degree where we can demand that the All-powerful Holy God to offer you and I an account of His so-called unsatisfactory management of our life.

A Builder Owns Their Own Innovation, That's Legislation

The Most High God not only is the owner of the whole universe, but He also is the owner of us too, and all He wants is what belongs to Him. His command is to be devoted to Him in turn. It may be difficult to accept, but this world is His business, and He is able to make it however He chooses. If you or I produced it, we can set the terms and conditions. However, God Most High proclaims:

'And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart;' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)

If Sovereign God Wanted Robots He May Have Built The Human Race As Robots

The Creator God may possibly have removed the threat out of this life, to make our life more comfier, but only by creating all of us as compliant robotic machines. However, that is most assuredly not what He desired.
God Most High wanted beings that had a choice about how they lived and would willingly decide to love Him.
A being something similar to what He is.

A Particular Hazard Of Awarding The Human Race Independent Choice

However, the possibility with granting your created life form their own ability to decide how they lived, is that they may perhaps forsake the creator, and that is exactly what we do.
This is a problem, think about all of the occasions we commit and also think think and also commit which are wrong, often referred to as trespassing in the Scriptures, they completely dishonor God's character and righteousness, and once again, you could say desecrating the Fixed Governing laws of the very cosmos - the controlled cosmos He put together. These things have separated us from the Most High God.

'The heart is deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?' (Jeremiah 17:9)

'Who will understand errors? acquit me from hidden things.' (Psalm 19:12)

Imagine it like this sickening comparison. A new clean and sterile wipe taken out of a new unopened packing to sterilize your bad bleeding laceration, in contrast with a second-hand, dirty wipe that has been sat and walked on for a month off the waiting room chairs or floor. How would you feel? Eww, dirty. Well, that is only a glimmer of how God Most High is repulsed by our conduct that is wrong, even the so-called insignificant stuff we do wrong and sinnful thinking, that trample on His holiness, and breaks the unalterable governing laws of the cosmos.
Even the stuff we believe are insignificant, for instance: conceit, not forgiving that person that upset us, holding a grudge, blasphemies and disregarding God our Creator, etc....

Faults And Debts At Variance With A Perfect Holy God Needs To Be Paid For

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

All these things attack the flawless purity, honour and leadership of God. Every instance we perpetrate one, it is punching God in the face. In the Scriptures, contained in the 10 Commandments, God tells us that we honour our mother and father. Did you ever show disrespect to your mother? God proclaims that it is evil to thieve, have you at some time, stolen anything ever? God proclaims not to use His Name in vain meaning, disrespectfully. At any time, have you ever blasphemed His Name? God proclaims do not envy others belongings. Have you at any time coveted to have a person's life circumstances, house, husband or belongings?

God has all knowledge. And, every single bad thing MUST be convicted and judged. A day will come when every bad thing MUST be judged, or you could say, settle an account to comply with the unchanging governing laws of the very cosmos. Or as the Bible calls it; to eliminate the rage of Holy God. This may well come as a shock to nearly everybody, due to the fact they have been told that Holy God really loves one and all so much, that they believe that The God Most High can not be outraged with any person over any wrong they did.

Frequently I see people, blind to these basics, argue ?But, Your God is supposed to love us so much? What is this extra condition on holiness??

To which I answer, "Of course, Sovereign God actually does love humanity, but still humans can't take the love part of Almighty God and take no notice of the righteousness part. It definitely is unworkable. It is unmistakably stated in Scripture, but people are not often told about it. Sad to say, in this generation pastors mostly only convey the pleasant teachings, rather than the entire distasteful teaching.
You cannot comprehend the Eternal God by using our earthly objectives, desires and practices. God Most High genuinely is ?not of this world? and He explains to us just who, He is and how He rules in his book. Requiring Him to abide by our rules, only gives us a pointless faith in something that is not factual and shall crash and burn in the near future.
Some people incorrectly fault The Creator God for the things that go wrong in the world, however, it is not God?s doing. He made the whole thing perfectly, The first man messed up and we continue to screw up. They dishonor God's character and righteousness; the 'changeless laws of the cosmos.' God could not simply come in and make it all good for humanity. The order or progression of the world that He started, must be concluded.
Every single sin debt has to be paid for.

That being said, God offered a strategy for our evil to be paid for, to pay the spiritually legal specifications of God's everlasting Law, the fixed law of the cosmos. And that wondrous strategy, was the ultimate sacrifice, dying, burial and the raising back to life of His Son, The Lord Jesus. And, this wondrous masterstroke was achieved in public before the audience of all creation in the universe ? humans, angels and the fallen angels.
Jesus was the sinless sacrificial payment that can pay the bill for your evil; thoughts, attitudes and ways. No other method could pay for our wrong.
The Bible says:

'Since all have sinned (done bad stuff) and continue to fall short of God's glory.' (Romans 3:23)
So, just being a 'really good person? and doing much good is unable to save you and I from the grim punishment of the wrong thoughts, attitudes and ways, only Jesus can. If the only thing you do in your life is be a good woman or man and maybe even going to church, that will not save any person and will never enable anyone to enter heaven. Meaning, going away to unending agony, that's hell:

'For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 6:23)

No, it is not doing good that will save you us, you have to say you are sorry for the many sins you did, and live fully for Almighty God. I shall explain this further in a minute.

This is the reason I find that being at funeral services of a person who is not a Christian pains me deeply. This is also the reason why my major priority during life is sharing with people about what God Most High is really like. To tell those who never go to church, and, to folks that also do go to church but never effectively grasped the truth. The false impression of Almighty God is widespread, and is because the preaching they listened to was vague or it was weakened by the false ideas of the modern world, from preachers relentlessly endeavoring to make the Timeless, immutable God to seem as though He is only a tender, huggable great grandfather type god, devoid of His extreme holiness and the judging of wrong sins. That is certainly a false god of their own feelings.
Constantly I observe people questioning ?Tell me how can God be like that, I thought He was the God of love?? Correct, but we could not discard His scary justice, when His Scriptures says a whole lot more as regards His sinlessness and scary justice, than His love.
You cannot know the Eternal God with our values and principles. God Most High truly is ?not of this world? and He teaches us who He is and that He operates in the Scriptures. Expecting Him to adhere to your own standards, merely gives us a precariously unsound perspective of God.
Now keep in mind, you have no possible means to trick God into thinking you truly belong to Him when you do not really mean it. God is aware of every one of one's thoughts.

Surrender Absolutely To God And All Of My Bad Things Have Already Been Paid For

The sole way to have our sins acquitted and be rescued from hell, is to recognise how bad we actually are before a Sinless God, and to say that we are apologizing for everything we did wrong. And afterward to utterly hand over one's being to God, and conform to His ruling as our leader for the rest of our life. This, is the true matrix of humans on the earth He formed for Himself:

'And He was saying to them all, ?If anyone wishes to follow Me as My disciple, he must deny himself set aside selfish interests, and take up his cross daily expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come and follow Me believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me.' (Luke 9:23)

Jesus did not say ?Now live your life as a good or nice person, engage in some good things for lots of other people, and then you will not go to hellish torment .?
No, this is what the Most High God stated regarding when you're forgiven of your wickedness:

'And He spake also this parable to some that trusted in themselves as being righteous, and despised others.
"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee took his stand and was praying like this: God, I thank You that I'm not like other people--greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice between Sabbaths. I give tithes from all that I possess.? But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.'
I say to you, this one went down to his house justified, rather than that. For everyone exalting himself will be humbled; but the one humbling himself will be exalted."' (Luke 18:9-14)

The Pharisee in this teaching does not commit the supposedly ?really bad' evil like terrorism, as we like to say, yet he did not receive mercy by God.
The tax collector does do ?really bad' wrong things yet was forgiven by Sovereign God, for the reason that he genuinely apologised.
It is a humbling experience to say that we are and have been, bad and to give up our future wholly to Almighty God. Yet devoid of it we are not able to be rescued from our sins, we have got to come to Almighty God submissive and reliant on Him. Jesus said :

'And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the middle of them. and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be changed and be as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.' (Matthew 18:2-3)

Just Doing Many Remarkable Things For Sovereign God Will Never Spare Humans

'For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.' (Ephesians 2:8)

Shall You Opt For Agony Or Submit Continually To The Creator God?

'And He was saying to them all, ?If anyone wishes to follow Me as My disciple, he must deny himself set aside selfish interests, and take up his cross daily expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come and follow Me believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me.' (Luke 9:23)

To ?Pick up one's cross day by day? signifies, we need to obey in a self-sacrificing manner each single day for God.
The Bible also says:

'Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship. (Romans 12:1)

'but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.' (1Peter 3:15)

Put in a nutshell: Almighty God will become your managing director. Always. And as the Bible instructs, we live for Jesus Christ, studies in the Scriptures, talking with God daily, telling other people about the Sovereign God, and assisting anyone as we are lead to. The Creator God, is our goal and ambition for the remainder of our lifetime.
