For Years I have listened to the people of the world belittle, deny, criticize, curse and Blaspheme the Name of God. At one time I was just as guilty of that as the next fella. Until one day when Salvation came
into my life and I began my journey to understanding who and what God was. I felt so badly about what I had said about him that I cried unto the Lord and said, "Father, Can you forgive me for what I have said and done to you and your Precious name? Jesus said, "for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Your sins of the past have been forgiven. (Romans 6:23) What you do from this point on is what matters." I know now, who and what God is and a myth He is not! A Fairy Tale - He is Not! A figment of one’s own
imagination - He is not!
What God is the subject of today’s lesson. It is my intent to show you what God really is and it is all backed up by scripture. God is all that I will describe here and much, much more. The much, much more, is what you will discover if you develop your relationship with God and if you haven’t established a relationship with God...Perhaps today will be the
day that you do and start your own journey to discovering what God is all about. Today may be the very last day you have that one opportunity to seek and receive Salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. He doesn’t promise us tomorrow and if you were to go outside your house or outside the church you could very well die without receiving the gift of salvation and forever be condemned to the Lake of fire. This could be your very last moments or day on earth. Do you really want take the chance and find that because you have hardened your heart or you procrastinated, you will die with out eternal life and the Forgiveness
of sins? Do you really want to die knowing that you passed up on this opportunity to spend eternity with Jesus Christ in His Kingdom and the opportunity to live forever? By telling you what God is, I hope that
you would reconsider your position and your relationship with God and give yourself a chance to get to know Him and have eternal life and not eternal damnation. We are going to go through what God is step by step and with each step we take, I pray that you will consider what you are hearing and take it to your heart and consider receiving His gift of Salvation. Then you can begin your own Journey of discovery with Him. We will answer the questions of Who, What and Where God is. First we shall begin with who God is:
Who God Is
==========
God is the Alpha and the Omega,The Beginning and The End of all things created by Him.(Rev.1:8,11; 21:6; 22:13) "I am the Alpha and the Omega, The beginning and the ending," saith the Lord,"which is, and which was, and which,is to come, the Almighty.(11) Saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last:" (21:6) And he said unto me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give
unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (22:13) "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the end, the first and the last." God is the Word. (John 1:1-2) "In the beginning was
the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the Beginning with God." Here we can plainly see that God is making it quite clear that He is, He was and he will always be; but we also see
that He is the "Living Word" to deny His existence would not only be fool-hardy but also a condemnation of your very existence. What you are saying is that God doesn’t exist and you were not created by Him, who
created all things and that includes you! (Genesis 1 and 2) The Evolutionists have you coming into existence from everything from primordial sludge to some atom that comes from space! That is impossible! If we, for example, evolved from Monkeys, then how come the Monkeys haven’t become human? They have had all this time and they are still Monkeys! In Genesis 1:27 it tells us plainly that God created us. In Genesis 3:19, He tells us what we were created from. We were created from the dust of the earth and he breathed the breath of life into us. God is the creator and the destroyer of all things that are evil and the Savior of all that is Good.
