Who Is God?


1. Why should we worship God?

     The true God is the Creator of all things.  He had no beginning and will never have an end. (Psalm 90:2) He is the Source of the good news found In the Bible.  (1 Timothy 1:11) Since God gave us life, we should worship only him. Read Revelation 4:11. 

2. What is God like?

     No human has ever seen God because he is a Spirit, which means that he is  a higher form of life than the physical creatures who live on earth.  (John 1:18; 4:24) Nevertheless, we can discern God's personality from the things  he has made. For instance, the variety of fruits and flowers tells us of his love and wisdom. The size of the universe tells us of his power. Read Romans 1:20.

We can learn even more about God's personality by reading the Bible.  For example, it tells us what God likes and what he does not like, how he treats people, an dhow he reacts in different situations. -Read Psalm  10:7-10. 3. 

3. Does God have a name?

     Jesus said: "Our Father who art in heaven, let your name be sanctified."  (Matthew 6:9) Although God has many titles, he has only one name. In each language, it is pronounced differently .  In English it is usually pronounced "Jehovah."  But some people pronounce it "Yahweh." Read Psalm 83:18. 

God's name has been taken out of many Bibles and replaced with the titles Lord or God. But when the Bible was written, it contained God's name some 7,000 times. Jesus made God's name known when he taught people about God.  Read John 17:26.
