THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 382
Yes God is Spirit in whom no man has every seen at any time. The same God who has revealed Himself to His creation. God did not reveal another so called god, for God has declares that He knows of no other God. Indeed as the scriptures state, "There is none besides Himself." So we are plainly speaking of one God, being one Spirit whose Spirit fills the heavens and the earth. It is in this one Spirit God that we live and move, having in Him our existence and our being. Whether man believes this to be a reality or not is irrelevant. The fact that you and I are intricately made speaks in defiance of man’s arrogance!
Yes God reveals Himself. In that revelation we are bound. We did not climb up into Heaven to bring the knowledge of God down to earth. Rather, God declares Himself. Moreover, even the Heavens declare God’s glory. And the earth shows His handiwork and even His hidden wisdom. Th e scriptures state that eyes and ears we have, and each bear witness that God is for all they see and hear, but they are offended and stumble in unbelief.
Still, God created all things both seen and unseen. Similarly, God is before all things. Further, the Almighty God does not play dice. In fact, all things are purposely made. The world and us in it are not a result of dead matter creating intelligent order! How can we say this? For with God there is no confusion.
We recognize that we cannot see God who is Spirit. But what we can see is the unwritten law of the nature of the Spirit of God in creation. When God by Himself counselled to create a natural visible world which would in visible form display that which is spiritual. God creating man in His own image. God setting man over the very works of His hands. Man is capable of free will but unfortunately free will can lead one into captivity when the wrong decision is made. This is what happened in the Eden garden. Adam and Eve were confronted with a foreign agent the devil who Adam and Eve thought was a mister. A know it all. And thus, here we are out of fellowship with our creator having a death sentence imposed upon us - one that includes sickness, disease and suffering waiting to pounce upon us!
So this one Spirit God who is the rightful owner of creation and all that might entail sets in motion a redemptive plan, starting in the Garden of Eden where God pronounced the incurred penalty for sinful disobedience. For man having disobeyed God now enters into another world wherein sin abounds. The devil being the ruler of that foreign realm. But the good news is that God said, the SEED of a woman would bruise the serpent's head.
God, the very same God who created all things promises that the SEED of a woman is going to bruise the serpent’s or devil's head. The SEED life being the SEED of the Spirit of God which SEED life is to be conceived into the womb of a young virgin girl Mary wherein the Holy Spirit SEED life is clothed upon with sin prone flesh. Which flesh is the seed of the woman. But the life within that sin prone seed of a woman is the LIFE of the Holy Spirit of God who has made all things. GOD Himself with us. God answering to the GIVEN name of JESUS. Not another named God but the very same God who now Himself appears in fashion as a Son. Whilst in that sin prone body God Himself would bruise the serpents head for trying to rule over us.
However, there is only one God who rules. This is the same God redeeming His creation from the devil's captivity. As it is written, "JESUS led captivity into captivity and gave gifts to men. The greatest gift was that GOD gave Himself for you and I. Now today God offers to all men the same salvation regardless of whether man is totally consumed in the depths of sin. Why?
Because God loves us. His offer stands with no conditions attached The FREE gift of eternal life. Don't believe that God's gift is too good to be true because it is true. This message is a door crasher message. The door which was once locked is now wide open. There is no need to crash the door. Instead, come to Jesus today! This is the gospel of our great God who is our only Saviour who was Himself the Lord JESUS the Christ! Peace to all!
