Who is God?

23/1/2011


My mum asked me to do an assignment of my own choice. So I decided to write about God, Let us start with this question.Who is God?

We all know that God is the creator of all things. In Revelation 15:3 it says just near the ending of verse three that God is the “king of eternity”. And we know that he is our sourse of life as well.

What is God like?

God is a spirit that is why no one in this world has never seen him. We can all see his personality just by the things he has revealed, like all the beautiful things. For example look at the magnificent flowers and trees that are beautiful in their own way. And look at the variety of beautiful animals unique in their own way. In Romans 1:20 it reads there that “that God has eternal power.” We can also learn a lot about God from the Bible. For example in the Bible it talks about what God likes and what he does not like, how he treats people and how he reacts in situations as well.

Does God Have A Name?

In Matthew 6:9 it says “Let Gods name be sanctified.” Even though God has many names , he has only one name. In every type of language his name is pronounced differently. In English we say “Jehovah” , or at times “Yahweh.” In Psalm 83:18 it says, “That people may know that you whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the most high over all the earth.” In many Bibles Gods name has been taken out of heaps of Bibles and replaced with lord or God. When the Bible was written it had Gods name in it 7000 times! The great teacher made Gods name known every where. When he was preaching he would use the Bible and show Gods name in it.

Does Jehovah care about us?

Jehovah shows interest in us by listening to our prayers. Some people think that God makes us suffer just to test us, but that is not true at all. The Bible says in Job 34:10 “Far be it from the true God to act wickedly.” God has given people the honour of making our own choices in life. Are we not grateful for the freedom to choose to serve God? Suffering happens a lot of the time because many people choose to do hurtful things to others. In the eyes of Jehovah it hurts him to see such badness happening around the world. Shortly Jehovah will give Jesus the task to get rid of suffering and those who make it happen. For now, we know that Jehovah has a good reason to allow suffering for a short time. We can be happy because there will be a day without suffering. Isn’t that wonderful!


What does God want us to do?

God made people with the ability to help us to understand and love him. He wants all of us to learn about him. If we come to know about the bible we can come to be Jehovah’s friend. Since God gave us all life, we should love him more than anyone in this world. In Mark 12:30 it says “ you must love Jehovah with your whole heart with your whole mind with your whole soul and with your whole strength.” So it says there that we should all love Jehovah. We all can show that we love him by talking to him in our prayer and by doing what he wants us to do. Jehovah wants all of us to treat each other with love and respect.
