UNDERSTANDING GOD

Who is God?
Isaiah tells us:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
(Isaiah 9:6)

Creator of all that Exists:
Through Him All Things were made;
Without Him Nothing was made that has been made.
(John 1:3)

And who does God Esteem?
This is the one I Esteem:
He who is Humble and Contrite in spirit
And Trembles at My Word.
(Isaiah 66:2)

This is the man to whom I will look and have regard,
He who is Humble and of a Broken or Wounded spirit,
And who Trembles at My Word
And Reveres My Commands [John 4:24.]
(Isaiah 66:2, AMP)

The two choices of every person:
He who Falls on this Stone (Christ) will be Broken to pieces,
But he on whom it Falls will be Crushed.
(Matthew 21:44)

And whoever Falls on this Stone will be Broken to pieces,
But he on who it Falls will be Crushed to powder,
And it will winnow him,
Scattering him as dust. [Isa. 8:14; Dan. 2:34, 35.]

The Lord Almighty is the One you are to regard as Holy
He is the One you are to Fear,
He is the One you are to Dread,
And He will be a Sanctuary;
But for both Houses of Israel he will be
A Stone that Causes men to Stumble
And a Rock that makes them Fall.
(Isaiah 8:13, 14)

A time is coming and has now come
When The True Worshipers will Worship the Father
IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH (in and through Christ)
For they are the Kind of Worshipers the Father SEEKS.
GOD IS SPIRIT,
And His Worshipers MUST Worship in Spirit and in Truth
(John 4:23, 24)

A time will come, however, indeed it is already here,
When The True (genuine) Worshipers
Will Worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth (reality);
For the Father is SEEKING just such people as these
As His Worshipers.
(John 4:23, 24, AMP)

Each of us was Created
By an All Powerful, All Seeing, All Knowing God.
He knew us before we were born. (Jeremiah 1:5)
Nothing is hidden from His Sight;
Nothing is hidden from His Knowing.
He sees and knows Everything.

His Ways are Perfect and His Word is Flawless. (Psalm 18:30)
He calls us to be Perfect and Holy as He is Perfect
And Holy as He is Holy. (Matthew 5:48; 1 Peter 1:15)
When we are in Submission to Christ In Us,
Then Christ In Us, Who is Perfect and Holy,
Makes Us Perfect and Holy.

In other words, God calls us to be
In Complete Submission to Him and His Word;
In Complete Submission to the Only Way, the Only Truth and the Only LIFE.
And this can only be accomplished by Christ living In and Through us.

God has called us to Worship Him,
The Way, the Truth and the LIFE [John 14:6],
In Spirit and In Truth,
And this can only be done In the Spirit—In and Through Christ,
Who is the Spirit and the Truth.

When we do this we become One with God [John 17:22];
Then we are no more of this World than He is [John 17:16];
Then All that belongs to God, belongs to us also [John 17:24].

When we are Fully Submitted to the Way, the Truth and the LIFE,
Everything that God has is Ours.
When we give to God everything we have to give,
He gives to Us Everything He has to give—
Even Eternal LIFE in Paradise.
