God Is The Only True And Living God

Summary: We have a God that is the only true and living God, sitted on His throne in Heaven.
In the world that we are living nowadays, with so many evil things happening that is unimaginable we can still hold on to the fact that our God is living and real. And God is the creator of the universal and everything in it, and he is not surprised with everything that is going on. God is a Spirit and He sees all that is happening in our world today, and because he is a Spirit, he is not moved by what is happening.
God is the Alpha and Omega; He is the beginning and the end of all things. And of course, God is not the creator of evil - that is impossible! In the book of Genesis chapter 1verses 1 - 31, God saw that all He created was good and in the book of Genesis chapter 2 verses 1 - 25 after all had being made, including man God rested.
We can, therefore, see that our God is a good God and we know that no evil can come from Him.
The bible says to us that Satan is the god of this earth - 2 Corinthians 4:4. This is actually the fact of all the things that we are seeing in our world today. Satan has been made the god of the earth because of the fact that he rebelled against God in heaven - Revelation 12: 7 - 12; Isaiah 14:15; Ezekiel 28:16 -17.
Revelation 12: 7 - 12
Satan Thrown Out of Heaven
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So, the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God Day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
Satan lost the battle in heaven with the angels of the living God and eventually he was cast out of heaven to earth, this is why the bible says, " woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea for the devil has come down to you, having great wrath".
We see here that the god of this earth is the evil one, and we can also see that our God does not dwell with evil and our God is not a wicked God.
The world that we are in today is full of evil and the evil comes from no one else but from Satan and his fallen angels that were pushed out with him from heaven.
These scriptures confirm that:
Job 1: 6 -7
Satan Attacks Job’s Character
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. And the Lord said to Satan, “From where you come from?”
So, Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.
Isaiah 14:12 - 14
The Fall of Lucifer
How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God.
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north.
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.
Ezekiel 28: 12 - 18
Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God.
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
You were the anointed cherub who covers.
