To many gods and not to little of God.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities his etrnal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
God is always here and the main fact is there is no way to not see him.He provides all things in life and is with us through thick and thin even when we sin.He is there with his outstretched ready to dispense his mercy wrought out on the cross.Through Him all things were made,without Him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:3
In the same way , count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in in Christ Jesus.Romans 6:1
I feel great ful every day to be able to go to the cross and confess my sin ,have fellowship with Christ,praise Christ and give thanks him and Knowing full well true peace with God and true freedom and knowing that he does all for the benefit of his church.I can call on God anytime and no that I will be heard and that he saves may by his Grace and Work done for us on the cross.
This is certainly the God I want to know the Lord Jesus full of grace and truth the almighty only Son of God Our Father.Who reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit now and forever.
Many people want to know other gods and not the God of the Scriptures.For many it is a veneer Of God fashioned for themselves. One of my favorites is the survey of the belief in afterlife where a large number of those surveyed said they believe they will go to heaven because they are a good person.What is their definition of being good.Perhaps it is deeds because many people think that as long as they harm no one and do good deeds here and there they have no worries.What Does the Bible say?
John 5:24 I tell you the truth ,whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal and will not be condemned he has crossed over from death to life.
There is no mention of good works here.However, we have people and other Christians who have decided to fashion God after there own desires or teachings.
How is this any different from the pagan world? When teaching is negotiable there is no Gospel and no redemption because the teaching is all about what they want it to be that day and tomorrow something else.I know that any good works that I do are the result of God working through living faith which he fosters and causes to grow in me. Apart from we can bear no fruit.
There are also those who say that theu do not believe in God and look down on those of us who do. Some of these people evenhave at one time been members of a church and somehow have either found it worthwhile to discard,distort, or be skeptical about Christ and the Bible. I say they do believe in a god. Themselves!( Refer to Romans 1:18-32).
When we get right down to it the Cross is all that really is going for us sinners.I know that each day I am thankful for the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ everyday for bringing me to faith in Him.I do not know what I would do without it. For us there is no other Savior.
