Please allow to me hold the honor of welcoming you to holy week. In light of this auspicious occasion which brings us back to commemorating the passion of Christ I thought that it would be best to write on the basis of who God is. As Christians sometimes we do not hold God to the high esteem he deserves and in so doing we let down our fellow Christians. This week I would like to highlight some traits and characteristics of God as quoted from the Bible so that during this week and hopefully in many weeks to come we can meditate and get answers to that controversial question, who is God?
Who is God to you? What is he? When you think of God what do you see, I think of God as a huge mass of light, maybe you have another way of seeing him when you close your eyes to prayer or when ever you think of him.
Looking pass appearances who is God really? What is our maker like? We know he is loving which we see through the scripture John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life" We have also been told of his forgiving heart and that he is slow to anger through the scripture, "Psalm 103:8-12 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us."
Another thing we must remember is God is never changing seen through the scripture
"I will never leave you or forsake you."
Hebrews 13:5
In order to get to know God better we must learn who he is through praying, reading the Bible or even just observing and acknowledging the great things God has done and continues to do in your life, in doing this you will not only be praising God but also your faith will be renewed.
Get to know God for that is what life is all about, I promise, he won't disappoint.
