Who is God to you? Everyone has their own
definition of God, some good and others based on their own understanding not so
good. Webster-dictionary defines the noun G-O-D as a perfect being that is
worshipped and the one who created and rules the universe. But if someone
would’ve have asked you out of the blue who is God to you what would your
answer be?
The best definition of
who God is? is in the Bible and though it describes Him in many different ways
but the most accurate and straight foward one is in (1 John 4:16) God is
Love. But let’s dissect that “L” word a little, the word Love
has been overused so much that sometimes we forget what it means. People do it
all the time, for example I love this movie, or I love these new sneakers, or
what about I love the weather today and let’s not forget the most controversial
one of all “I love you“. How many times have you or someone
you know said this powerful phrase to someone else or vice versa. How would you
show someone that you love him/her? Its more than just saying the phrase our
actions have to prove our love. God has proven His love for you and I every day
that we wake up. No one says that we are guaranteed to get up when we close our
eyes, God makes it clear in (Proverbs 27:1) “Do not boast about tomorrow, for
you do not know what a day may bring forth, basically saying there’s no such
thing as tomorrow. When we seat down and eat is also proven love from our beloved
Creator, and the list goes on and on from as simple as breathing to being near
death on a hospital bed from an inoperable sickness and all of a sudden the
disease has disappeared and you’re on the road to recovery there’s no limit to
God’s love in fact this His infinite goodness is shown in (John 3:16) “
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Can you imagine
being a parent and you have only one kid, just one and you tell your
son/daughter to go die for a whole bunch of people that dont know who you are
so that maybe one day they will know us because we love them, and yes the Son
of God has risen on the third day and He seats at His Father’s right side but
still that’s nuts right? That is the Love of God, that is who He is. We are not
meant to understand but to believe.
