"Look! I Am Making All Things New"

The God of the Bible

Just as some people have scoffed about the Bible, others scoff about there being an almighty God. (2 Peter 3:3-7) They says, 'How can I believe in God, since I cannot see him?  Is there proof that an invisible Creator, higher than any man, really exists?  (Note: Oh! he exists alright)  Does not God dwell in everything?' Others say, "There is no God or Buddha.' However, the Bible shows that just as off us us received life through and earthly father, so our original ancestors received life from a heavenly Father, or Creator, who personal name is Jehovah. -Psalm 83:18; 100:3; Isaiah 12:2;  26:4.

Jehovah has revealed himself to mankind in two outstanding ways.  The principal way is through the Bible, which makes known his truth and his eternal purposes.  (John 17:17; 1 Peter 1:24, 25) The other way is through his creation. By observing the wonderful things around them, many people have come to appreciate their there must be a Creator-God whose grand personality is reflected in his works. -Revelation 15:3, 4. 

Jehovah God is the Author of the Bible, He is the Great Spirit, existing through all eternity.  (John 4:24; Psalm 90:1, 2) His name "Jehovah" calls attention to his purpose toward his creatures.  It is his purpose to vindicate that great name by destroying the wicked and rescuing those who love him so they can live on a paradise earth.  (Exodus 6:2-8; Isaiah 35:1, 2) Being the Almighty God, he has the power to do this. As the Creator of the universe, he is far above ordinary national gods and idols. -Isaiah 42:5, 8; Psalm 115:1, 4-8.
