God's Word is Truth



The Holy Scripture

What is truth? God reveals himself to us – who he is, His will, His ways, His pleasures, plans and purposes for his creation. Out of love He does this. At the same time He tells us who we are. This is what scholars and theologians are telling us as the absolute truth – which is found only in the Scriptures. It is all about God, us and all other things in this life –visible and invisible, natural and supernatural, physical and spiritual. All these things apart from God, were the creation of God the Almighty and the Most High: man for His pleasure and delight and the other created things as God’s gifts for men‘s sustenance to increase; to give pleasure or enjoyment, joy and meaning to life.

 God wants us to know all truth and these He reveals in His Word to keep us from lies that the Devil promotes. For this knowledge and understanding will immensely benefit us as we live our lives in the freedom that God gives. (In contrast doers of evil are captives of the devil.) Great benefits come to man as they tend, keep, care for and nourish the other part of creation—moving, creeping and other living things on earth, fish on the sea, and elements in the atmosphere. As we do right and keep God’s ways, God’s pleasure with and of us is graciously shown. On the other hand the unrighteousness of humans—symptom of the fallen nature of humanity—only brings disorder, destruction, confusion, hopelessness, fear, guilt, shame and the like. For God did not create us to do these things. They cause Him displeasure and ultimately bring condemnation in the end. The latter inevitably will come unless we return to Him repentant and asking for His forgiveness.

As we please and delight God in doing only righteous and just acts, He rewards and delights us in turn with the desires of our hearts. He works out circumstances for good in your home, at work, in the office or business and at times of ordinary activities. He will provide the knowledge and wisdom you need to make the right choice or decision at any given time. In addition the material things—money and other resources—will be in your hands at the time of need to accomplish your plans.



Jesus with Followers



His love for his creation—especially men—is the primary motivation God is doing these just and good things. He is cordial, gracious, kind and He shows us good will. Natural and supernatural powers are manifested and they are the ingredients of God’s love or grace. During these times we may feel amazed or may wonder or will bring praise to our lips and most of all worship. As a consequence the faith He gave us initially will grow and mature. Trusting God in all things comes as a matter of course. That’s the time you will feel life is really meaningful and thus worth living. Joy and happiness are yours forever more.

God’s work in our lives is not done in a vacuum but in an intimate relationship with Him. He is our beloved Father and we are His children. We need to remember that in the beginning He created us for His pleasure. We are His delight—His treasure. To be so He provides all the means so we can become as desirable children. He wants us nearby always; to be obedient and dependent to His will and providence for we know them to be reasonable and just. As we are these, He becomes generous with good things coming our way.
