Who is God to me?

My relationship with God began before I was born. He knew me. I was not an afterthought. None of us are afterthought in God’s mind.

Going back to the blog entry before.

God was not alone in the beginning. He took counsel and said, “Let us make man.”

In the Old Testament book of Genesis chapter 1 verse 26, Jehovah is called Elohim, meaning God. There is more it in the Hebrew language wbut simply put here, it is a plural noun followed  by a plural verb.

Some say he took counsel with his angels.

Really???

Let me get this straight:

The Creator needed to tell his other creatures who were his ministers doing his will, what he planned as if asking permission?

If you believe that, then you bring God down to your level.

He is the almighty

The One who formed the world’s at his our will. Who planted the stars in the heavens, who made all creatures great and small. At his will, everything subsist.

Again, think about who we serve.

Meeting God for the First Time…

God is introduced to the world for the first time in the book of Genesis.

He was introduced in Genesis because the world did not exist.

Genesis means in the Greek language “origin” or beginning.

God is larger than life itself because he gives life. 

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ( Genesis chapter one verse one)

The first characteristic of God is that he is the creator.

He called the things that did not exist into existence. ( Romans 4 verse 17)

He formed the earth from nothing.

The argument in science is that the world was formed by a big bang, the Big Bang Theory.

Then there is the Evolutuon of Life by natural causes.

These theories  can be refuted. Needless to say, if others do not believe in God as the Creator of the Universe, it does not make it untrue or unreal.

Who is God?

He is the creator.

Let’s keep things simple and share this text with a friend.

Yet To Be #99

For God so loved the world

Day 10 The Word was God

The fourth book of the new testament called the Gospel According to John was written from AD 85 to AD 90.


The disciple and Apostle John looks at the “humanity of Christ while never losing sight of Christ’s divine nature.” It opens with the same words of the first book in the Bible, Genesis, in the beginning before time was the Word was, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
The relationship between the Father and the Son is initialized in this verse and sets up the main purpose of the entire book which is to explore this unique union.


John’s presentation of Jesus as the Son of God is evident in the famous and keynote verse 16 of chapter 3.


For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe on his name shall not perish but have everlasting life.

Our existence depends on so many external factors

#1 Time Thief

Time thief is not a game, but something that steals precious moments and derails goals, if not for a second, but for a couple of minutes or more. 

What is time?  “Time is represented through change such as the circular motion of the moon around the Earth.”  Moving from one instance to another from the very beginning of…time.

“In the beginning…God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Genesis ( the beginning, the first book, the origin) 1 verse 5 

As humans on this earth, we are all subjected to time; we are born, we live and then we die. Our existence depends on so many external factors, whereby, we have no control. Time can pass into eternity in a blink of the eye and we cannot stop it, neither can we turn it back. If we cease to exist, time will still go on because it is not dependent on us to shape its existence but, we depend on it to shape ours. Humanly speaking, time is the thief of itself. (Vicissitudes of Life, 2007)

#2 Time Change – moving into eternity

# 3 Redeeming the time – taking the rest of your life and doing it right.  We can work on today with the hope of tomorrow.

#4 Time is running out – missed opportunities. The end of time via sickness or death.

#5 Holding onto time – is it possible when time changes?

#6 Procrastination – folding of the arms – one of the seven deadly sins – sloth
