One God Only
Isaiah
44:6,10
The LORD Almighty, says: “I am the First and the
Last;
there is no other God.” “Who but a fool would make his
own god—an idol that cannot help him one
bit.” (NLT)
I believe the first thing we must do in
order to find peace, purpose, and understanding about this difficult life-journey
that no one gets to volunteer for, is to believe in the only True and Living
God who left the glory of Heaven to live and die so we could die and live. Christ
Jesus became a man of flesh and blood to become the final sacrificial Lamb of
God who took away the sins of the world.
God is not the earth or the moon or the sun or the whole universe or
anything else in creation or anything we can create with our hands or
minds. Throughout the history of the
world, man has foolishly made many different things his god or gods—gods that
are all fakes—man made gods that deceive the world in Satan’s favor. There are many foolish people who try to
replace the Living God with the worlds gods, but none of them give us life, nor
can they save us from our sins and the condemnation that is due.
It is not my objective to condemn people
for living foolish lives worshiping false gods, because I, too, was once living
this life foolishly drinking and smoking the gods that controlled my life. Most people who do not know and love the Lord
our God and Savior have probably never really heard or understood the Truth and
so they view God and His redemptive plan for mankind and the world as science
fiction or simply crazy. Because we love
our little gods that give us pleasure, they control the way we live. And even though I spent most of my adult life
indulging in the gods of this fallen world, deep in my heart, I was searching
for the truth about this cursed life. It gnawed at my heart and tormented my
soul day and night. The world's gods failed
to give me the answers I so desperately hungered for and I, like many, was left
empty and hopeless, for there is only One God, One Truth, and One Answer—Jesus
Christ!
A Whisper of Hope
There is only One God…My child. I AM He.
And I can tell you that all of Heaven rejoices when anyone comes to
understand and believe this essential Truth.
This deceitful world has filled your mind with too many lies for much
too long. But as you learn the Truth,
so, too, will you find life in Me.
John 17:3
And this is the way to have eternal life—
to know You, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, the One You sent to earth. (NLT)
But the LORD is the only true
God, the Living God.
He
is the Everlasting King!
(Jeremiah 10:10)
