Who is God?
God is the Creator of the universe, the Sovereign Divine who has always existed. He created humans as the crown of His creation. He lived with them in friendship and fellowship. It was beautiful! Tragically, man fell into sin. A sin is anything we do that God tells us not to, or it’s when we don’t do something He tells us to. His laws are given in the 10 commandments - serve only God, don’t worship images, don’t take God’s name in vain, honor the Sabbath day, honor your parents, don’t murder or commit adultery or steal, and don’t covet what you don’t have. His laws for just, righteous, and peaceful living are summarized in the following: Love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-38).
Let’s talk about 3 of God’s characteristics.
1) Holy - Because God is holy, He couldn’t fellowship with sinful humans anymore. The friendship was broken. 2) Just - Because God is also just, a good judge, He had to give a sentence to the law-breakers. The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Ultimately, sin results in death and hell, which is eternal separation from God and all that is good, experiencing horrible suffering for sin. It’s a just punishment; because God is so great, the punishment must be so severe. There’s no way back to friendship with God. 3) Love - Because God is also love, He made a promise to make a way for people to have fellowship and friendship with Him once again. Even in their sin, God came to His people by sending Jesus, the Son of God, to be a man and live on earth. He experienced all the pains and sufferings of living in this world, but He lived an absolutely perfect life. Jesus died on a cross to make this possible. On the cross, as God Himself, He took on the punishment for the sins of His people. He endured death and hell. He paid the sin-debt that we owed God. Then, to prove that He overcame death and hell, He rose from the dead on the 3rd day. 40 days later, He ascended into heaven in His body, and He sits at the right hand of God, ruling as King.
What does it mean for me?
Jesus has opened the way for a holy, just, and loving God to have friendship with people who were once sinners. Now, how do we get there? The Bible says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). Believing in Jesus means that we: 1) Believe that what the Bible says - this good news - is true 2) Acknowledge your sin before God, be sorry for it, turn from it and commit to living a life in obedience to his commands 3) Trust only in Jesus for peace with God. Salvation is only by the free gift of God’s grace to you through faith, nothing you could ever do yourself. Going to church isn’t enough. Being a good person isn’t enough. Giving money or being educated isn’t enough. Only by believing in Jesus can we be saved. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). Every human, including yourself, is a sinner, deserving of the judgment of our Creator. Jesus will return to earth one day to judge every human that's ever lived. Only those with His salvation will escape punishment and receive the reward of eternal life as a friend of God in perfection.
