November 27th, 2011

Though it sounds so simple, understanding the true nature of God can be very challenging. Many of us were raised with false perceptions of God – inappropriate and incomplete. Unfortunately, those views caused us to act in certain ways, most of which were ungodly. In this study we will learn a few of the problems connected with false views about God and how to make sure we know the real God.

God has been misrepresented

  • Romans 2:17-24 - Hypocrisy in religion has turned many away from the real God
  • Matthew 23:1-4 - Ungodly authorities can cause us to view God in similar ways
  • Deuteronomy 4:4-8 - Those who could have taught us did not, or they did it incorrectly
We were led down a wrong path
  • John 4:21-24 - We didn’t know what the Bible said
  • 2 Timothy 4:1-4 - We were looking for the easy way, not the right way
  • Proverbs 14:15 - We were too simple and believed things too quickly and easily
God is a powerful God
  • 2 Chronicles 32:6-9 - God is greater than the devil or any other being
  • Psalms 18:29 - God enables us to do what we can’t do on our own by His power
  • Ephesians 3:20-21 God has immeasurable and unimaginable power
God is a loving God
  • Deuteronomy 1:29-31; 3- God is a father who loves to help you and carry you as His child
  • Psalm 68:4-6 - God loves to help and rescue those who need to be loved
  • Matthew 10:29-31 - God knows and cares about everything in our lives
God is serious God

  • Psalm 78:56-59 - God refused to let Israel come to Him because of their sin
  • Romans 11:22 - God will be stern to those who continue to sin
These and many other passages will help you better understand the full and complete nature of God. None of us want other people to make a judgment on us with just a few facts about our lives. God doesn’t either!! Continue to read the Bible and learn more about your great God. The book you have received, “The Unveiling”, will discuss this topic in greater detail. What you will discover is that the more you know, the more you see just how magnificent God really is.
