Getting Better Acquainted With God

by Marvin Whitehead Jr. Internet Marketer
Did you know that God wants to spend time alone with you?
Jesus in his conversation with the woman of Samaria told her,"The true worshipper shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth for the Father seeketh such to worship Him" John 4:23.KJV). When a person accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior,he or she becomes a member of God's eternal family... a child of God."You are sons {children} of God through faith in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:26,NIV).As children of God,we become heirs of God with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17). We become recipients of all His promises if we are willing to follow Him in obedience.I want to let you know that God speaks to all of us save and the all that's nor save by Grace it's up to us as individuals to spend time with him and ask him to come into our life and speak to us and we can hear his voice in our inner heart,mind,body and sole.

Yes this is absolute Truth that God speaks to all of us save and the all that's nor save by Grace it's up to us as individuals to spend time with him and ask him to come into our life and speak to us and we can hear his voice in our inner heart,mind,body and sole. Have been fortunate enough to see Him and hear Him speak to me in most sweetest husky voice, when asked Him directly as to which religion is the most dearest and nearest to Him?, He had smilingly replied in a wonderful husky voice " your truest love for Me is most dearest to Me, leave the rest unto Me".

The Bible say that, for God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son and that who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. I agree to Mohinder's and I believe it is all depending with "You" and "Him" involved.

Thank you for a great article and for speaking out about God. I believe in the necessity of Baptism by emersion. The comment about the sufferings in the world is sad . No one seems to get it The Gospel means nothing without free will and yes beievers suffer great losses. People who need to blame someone hold God Responsible . Jesus Himself went away deeply sanddened by those who did not choose to follow God's will but did not interfere with their free will.

@Stanislaw. Suffering does NOT come from God. It comes from the sinful nature of man and the spiritual attacks of the devil and his minions. Yes, God does allow this, because He knows this is the only way for us to grow closer to Him.

Marvin,
I am a firm believer that how we treat each other is completely based on our relationship with God or our lack there of!

Hi Marvin, thanks for sharing this post. I believe that when we open our hearts to God for Him to come in, He will lead us on the right track. He's looking to spend quality time with us. It all boils down to our willingness to allow Him in.

Hi Abraham,
However, the entire Universe has been created by God and therefore evil and the good in it! if you strives amazing possibilities, the strength of wealth, you allow someone to torment your children?
and here the question arises why it must or had to suffer millions of defenseless and innocent people

@Staislaw. You seem to know much about the creation. If so, then you must know that God did not create evil. Evil came from the fallen angel called Lucifer (now known as the devil), he coveted the powers of God and turned against God. After which, he was banished from heaven and came to live on earth. Lucifer's second evil act was to tempt Eve to eat the fruit from the Tree of knowledge and to give some of the fruit to Adam. That is how the sinful (evil) nature of man (humans) came to be. God is a god of Love and love can NEVER be evil. Those millions of defenseless and innocent people suffered by the hand of sinful humans NOT by an act of God. And when you read history a bit more in-depth, you will realize those who came out of that suffering alive, was the people who clinged to their religion, faith and love of God.

still do not understand, I know that God is a God of love, however, if God is omnipotent is also envisaged evil
After all Satan is also a child of God, but evil
Indeed, this powerful and allowed for the oppression of humanity
do you also build a house for their own beloved children (ie mankind), and allowed the snakes there, and then put their children there for a long time okrs watch, what will come out?
I think I just did not bys and none of us!
However, I think that God in his power, he knows what he's doing and once it transforms evil into good August! and suffering will disappear once and for all
However, I have always before his eyes the suffering millions, of innocent people who passed hell here on earth, praying every day, and none of them does not help, came, salvation was only death!
Ok, but this is a long topic and greeting you finish it beautifully

@Stanislaw. It might be a good idea to read the Bible Revelation chapter 20 till the end of chapter 22. Then you might understand what will happen to satan after the return of Jesus. And also what will happen to all people dead and living. Then you might get a faint idea of the greatness of God's love for us and His righteousness. Then you might see that those that was wronged in life will be happy and all wrongs in their past will be righted. Unfortunately, we do not know exactly when Jesus will be returning to us, not even He knows that. Only God himself knows when the second coming of Jesus will happen. Untill then, we as humans must be content to live in a sinful world and ONLY by FAITH will we be saved and given the right to eternal life with Jesus and God in the new Jerusalem. And yes this is a long topic and we can talk a LOT about it. But I too think we must stop at this pont. Have a super day full of Christ's love.
