Who is God

Who is God?

Who is God? With changing times many parts of the world have forgotten the name God. Science and technology have taken over. Can mere denial of God’s existence will truly change the truth and the fact? Does God really exist? Who is God in Bible?

Does God exist?

Do you ever stop and think about God? Many people are thinking about God today. Because we've seen that science does not have an answer to all of our problems. We are seeing that technology cannot solve all of our problems. 

And so thousands of young people in Europe and in America are beginning to talk about God. Some of them are going to India to see if they can find peace in their hearts. Some of them are going and studying yoga. And they're going into all sorts of different sects and groups searching for God. Some of them are going out into the desert and sitting under the stars and watching the stars.

Have you ever wondered about God? Someone asked me one day, "Can you prove God exists?" And I answered, "No." I cannot put God in a test tube. I cannot put God in a laboratory and say, "Here's God." How do I know that God exists? All the evidence seems to indicate that he does. 

I look up in the starry sky and I say, "There must be a God." I look at the beautiful nature round about me and I say, "There must be a God." I see the birth of a baby, as I watched that, I knew that there had to be a God." But there's another reason. Deep in your heart, you have a conscience. And your conscience tells you, there must be a God. Something down inside tells me, there must be a God.

And the bible tells us that this God is the creator of all the universe. In Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth." Knowing that passage in Genesis 1, there is no explanation, there's no attempt to prove God. It just says, "In the beginning, God." Because everybody believes in God.

Oh, but you say, "I've met some Atheists." You met some Atheists who hadn't had any real trouble yet. But you find a person who claims he's an Atheist and let someone announce to him that he has terminal cancer and he'll say, "my God, help me." Or he get into a battle, or get into a difficult spot, he'll say, "my God, help me." Yes, all men know that there must be a God. He is the creator. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made.

Who is God in the Bible?

Now, the Bible tells us God is a spirit. God doesn't have a body like yours. If God had a body like yours, he would have to be in one place at one time. But God doesn't have a body like yours. And God can be in Africa. He can be in Asia. He can be in Europe. 

He can be in America, all at the same time. He can be on a planet. He can be on the moon, at the same time. I've talked to some of those who recovered fully from terminal illness when doctors had given up on them. And they told me that they knew all the way, there must be a God. I talked to some of the prisoners of war for eight years in jail, they knew there was a God.

The Bible tells us that God is unchanging. He never changes. Fashions change. Every part of our culture and life changes. And vast changes are underway throughout the world. Fashions change. Culture changes. Technology changes. But God never changes.

The Bible says, "I am the Lord God, I change not." The Bible says, "There is no variableness nor shadow of turning with God." God has not changed in thousands of years. Ten thousand times ten thousand years from now, God will be the same. God is from everlasting to everlasting. 

God does not change. The Bible also tells us that God is a holy God. Absolutely holy. The Bible says, "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil. Thou canst not look on iniquity." God is holy and righteous, and you'll never understand God. You'll never understand about God and God's dealing with us until you understand that God is absolutely pure. And God is absolutely holy. And God cannot even look upon sin with any approval what so ever.

And then the Bible tells us that God is a God of judgement. In Ecclesiastes 12:14, the Bible says, "God shall bring every work into judgement with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil." There's a judgement day coming.

You're going to be there. If you're outside of Christ. And every secret thing will be brought to light. Everything that you hid, everything that you did that you didn't think anybody knew about. All of your thoughts. All of your motives. All of your intents. All of your actions, are on God's computers. And God is keeping a record. And someday, you're going to have to stand before a holy God and give an account at the great Judgement Day.

Jesus said, "Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof on the day of judgement." The apostle Paul said in his great sermon at Athens, "he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world by that man, Christ Jesus." There's a day of judgement coming. He has appointed a day. It's all set. You're going to be there. 

And every secret thing that you've ever thought or done will be flashed on the scoreboards up in heaven at the judgement. And the whole world will see what you really were down inside. God is a God of judgement. But the Bible also teaches that God is a God of love. That God loves.

God is Love

I'm glad that's in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation that God is a God of love, and mercy, and grace. And that God loves everybody. I don't care who you are. He has the hairs of your head numbered. He sees the sparrow fall. He's interested in you. And he loves you.

Now, there are several Greek words that are translated love. Eros means sensual love, sexual love. Phileo means friendship love, the love that I would have for a friend. But when the writers of the New Testament were trying to find a word that would describe the love of God, they invented a new word, Agape. The divine love.

A love that we cannot know outside of God. There is no love that you can think of in human relationships comparable to the love that God has for you. And that God has for me. God loves you. You say, "But boy, I don't deserve such love. I'm a sinner, I've broken God's law. I've failed him a thousand times." I know. 

That's the beauty, and the greatness, and the thrill of God's love. That no matter what you've done, he loves you. For God so loved the world. God loves you. And God loved us so much that he gave his son.
