Nature or Power? Yes that Be the Question!
Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 08:24 AM

Even when a unbeliever uses the word 'God' in its fullest sense the definition of a All Powerful Entity is assumed. Very few people suggest a God powerful enough to create a entire universe yet not have the power to control it, such a idea is an absurdity.

The real question from mankind is Not : 'Is God all-powerful?'. The real question is : 'What is God Like?' or 'What kind of God is He' is He nice or mean? Is He unforgiving or forgiving? Does He Love or hate? Is He just, unjust or merciful?

Reading through the Bible one will see although God proves His power against other so-called gods, God's main focus when it comes to people is to reveal who He really is, reveal His nature. Take the ultimate example of this: Jesus dying on the cross, is this a answer to God's power or God's nature? Did not God reveal once and for all His Love for all people by dying on a cross?

It is not a question of 'If God can do', the foremost question in the mind of people is 'What God will do' and this is determined by His nature.

Ask yourself, what is foremost in your mind: What God can do? or What God will do?.....Which is more important to you?

People already know God is all powerful, people need to know God loves them and will act on their behalf.



*To the nay sayers. Yes the cross was a show of power, but not one most recognize, the most recognizable was a show of Love. The real recognizable show of power was the resurrection.

Actually Two you need not go any farther than the beginning of it all:



Jn 17:17 � Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.



This scripture is a fact!!



It is only a fact to those that walk in agreement with it.

Twosparrows: Yet God says that the fear of Him is the beginning of wisdom.

VW,

Yet, not the kind of fear that made Adam and Eve hide in the bushes.

I really enjoyed your topic post, twosparrows. I fear God, but not like "shaking in my boots- will he hurt me?" fear.
