THE ONE TRUE GOD

There Is Only OneTrue God-Do You Know Him?

Everyone worships something. Some people worship objects, some worship a man, some worship an image, and others worship themselves. They reveal their devotion to their god in various ways. As the multitude of these people give their devotion to these gods, there still remains a longing and cry in their hearts. These people are able to find only a temporary relief for the cry of their souls and have little courage to face tomorrow. To their disappointment the future is always the same as the past. The god they are serving is unable to fill the void in their lives.

Whom do you worship? Where does your god live? Is he alive? What did he do for you today? Did you talk with him today? Did he answer the cry of your heart? What do you believe? These are profoundly important questions. 

Let Me Introduce You To The ONE TRUE GOD - The God of the Bible.

He is the One who has conquered Satan, our greatest enemy. He is the God of creation, who spoke everything into existence. The Holy Bible will tell you of this God of heaven, who created man from the dust of the earth. Read Genesis, chapters one and two.

He is the eternal God. He has no beginning and no end. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is the Creator, Preserver and Sustainer of all things (Acts 17:22-34).

Is there One True God? This is a profoundly important question, because we live in a world with many competing truth claims—and many so-called gods—the identity of the one true God matters. 

The one true God is distinguished from all the false gods that have been forced upon mankind by evil spirits and deluded men. The gods that are fashioned by the imaginations and hands of men are absolutely worthless (Isaiah 44:9–10), but the one true God is full of glory, grace, and truth (John 1:14).

The Bible says that the One True God is the sovereign, self-existent Creator of the universe (Isaiah 42:5).    He is Spirit (John 4:24, He is eternal (Psalm 90:2), and He is personal (Deuteronomy 34:10).  The one true God possesses all knowledge (Isaiah 46:10) and all power (Matthew 19:26), is present in all places (Psalm 139:7-10), and is unchanging (James 1:17).  There are many false gods - Hinduism alone supposedly recognizes as many as 330 million gods - but none of them posses the attributes of the One True God.

The Bible says that God is just (Acts 17:31), loving (Ephesians 2:4-5), truthful (Numbers 23:19), and holy (Isaiah 6:3).  God shows compassion (2 Corinthians 1:3), mercy (Romans 9:15), and grace (Romans 5:17).  God judges sin (Psalm 5:5), but He also offers forgiveness (Psalm 130:4).  Any god that is not just, loving truthful, holy, compassionate, merciful, and gracious, and forgiving is not the One True God.

The   One True God exists in tri-unity.  The  Bible speaks of three divine Persons who share the same nature and essence in one God.  Father, Son, and Holy  Spirit are three in one (Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19).  This characteristic of the One True God separates Him from all other gods of monotheistic religions: Islam, for example, teaches one god (Allah), but it is a false god, since Allah is not triune.  Any concept of God that excludes Jesus Christ is faulty.  As Scripture says, "No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also" (1 John 2:23).

The One True God wants to be known.  He has revealed His power and glory in creation (Romans 1:20).  He revealed Himself to Abram in Mesopotamia, calling him to a new life of faith and making of him a new nation (Genesis 12:1-3).  The One True God later identified Himself as  "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob" (Exodux 3:6) and revealed Himself to Moses in Midian (verses 1-5).  Using Moses the One True God began to reveal Himself more clearly through His written Word, the Bible.  And, Finally, the One True God has given us the ultimate revelation of Himself in the Lord Jesus: "God, who at sundry times, and in diverse manners spake in time past  unto the Fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds"  (Hebrews 1:1-2).  Jesus is  "the express image of his (God's) person" (Hebrews 1:3).  Jesus is the Word of God mad flesh who "made his dwelling among us" (John 1:14).

We all have a choice of whom to worship.  Joshua told the Israelites it was time for them to choose the one true God over the gods of the Amorites (Joshua 24:15).  Elijah told the people on top of Mt. Carmel that they could no longer stay ambivalent concerning God: "How long will you waver between two opinions?  If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him"   (1 Kings 18:21).  Today people worship some of the same pagan gods mentioned in the  Old Testament, or they worship even more new false gods; or they worship themselves.  But the worship of false deities leads only to death in the end. "This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3).  May we be like Ruth, who chose the one true God over the idols of Moab (Ruth 1:16).

The One TRUE GOD  Is A Personal God

This great God who dwells in the heavens is also interested in you as a person. He sees you among the masses of people. He loves and cares for you. He wants to be more than your friend. He has sent His Son to be your Savior. He wants to live with you, and even more than that, He wants to live within you. He says, “Abide in me, and I in you” (John 15:4).

If He does not dwell in your heart, who does? By looking about us we can see that Satan is ruling and ruining the lives of the masses of people. He is the one who rules these hearts. He suggests all these evils such as lying, stealing, lusting, cheating, seeking revenge, and self-promotion. If Satan lives in your heart, and entices you to indulge in any of these sins and more, why not come to the God of gods who has given His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for your sins and the sins of the whole world (John 3:16).

You ask, “How can this be true? How can One, who is so great, all powerful, and almighty dwell in my heart” (Isaiah 57:15)?

If you are sick and tired of sin, why not call upon God and repent. Through faith in God and by the atoning blood of Christ your sins will be forgiven and you will receive a new nature. Then when Satan comes to tempt, you will feel the presence of the almighty God. He will give you direction and teach you in all things (John 14:26).

In John 10:10, Jesus promises an abundant life and He is able to give it to you. This gift will be yours as long as you remain faithful and obedient to Him. “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:19). No other God is this great.
