Who is God?

Deut 4-6 God is…

The world shouts out: who is God? The world questions: who is God? They might say God is love and He is, but Moses said God is the Lord. He revealed Himself to the pagan Egyptians and to the Israelites as one who is not a man that he should change his mind. He revealed Himself in signs and wonders such as at Baal-Peor where He eradicated from their midst everyone who followed that false god. Moses asked them this question: “what other great nation has a god so near to them like the Lord our God whenever we call on him?” And God is asking us the very same question and to that he asks: Do you know me?

Peter reminded the sojourners just as Moses was reminding the people: “You do not see him now but you believe in him, and so you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy.” Even though they did not “see” him they heard his voice saying: “This is the correct way, walk in it,” whether you are heading to the right or the left. [Is 30]And again, if we seek Him, we will find Him; if we seek Him with all our heart and soul.

 

Who is God? He is the Lord God and there is no other besides him. Our obligation: Love the Lord your God with your whole mind, your whole being and all your strength. In this way we affirm we serve Him and only Him.”

When Was The Last Time You Talked to God and…

Deut 2-4 “When Was the Last Time You Heard God Speak to You?”

Have you ever asked the people on the street what they think of the God of the OT? Many think that there are two “God’s.” There is the God of the OT as a cruel and harsh taskmaster but the God of the NT as loving and kind. However, a close study of both testaments reveals that God is God; and He is immutable, He does not change. He blesses and like a loving parent, He disciplines.

We only come to know those principles if we spend time in His Word reading from the beginning to the end so that we realize and carefully consider that the LORD is God in heaven above and on earth below – there is no other!” Moses reminded the children of Israel “He spoke to you from the middle of the fire, you heard speech but you could not see anything—only a voice was heard.” The children of Israel only heard his voice but now His voice speaks to us across the written page. It reminds us that the God we have chosen to follow is faithful and blesses those who obey Him. Those He calls hear his powerful shout that is majestic. He thunders with his voice in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. [Job 37:5]

Have you taken time today to hear His voice?
