Godly Witnesses For Christ

Who is God?

For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? (Psalm 18:31).
God is the creator of everything from the sun and moon to man and woman.
Psalm 8:3-4 says, When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
This is a very powerful statement. Who is man to God? Why does he care anything about us?
God is all-powerful, all-knowing, loving, righteous and loving.

For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. (Psalm 96:4,5)
His voice and words are powerful. He spoke everything into existence. Psalm 29:4 says, The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. In Genesis Chapter One, God tells us that he spoke and things happened. He formed the earth, moon, light, man, animals by his voice.

Who can know God? Deuteronomy 4:39 says,
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; (Deuteronomy 7:9). The Lord is known by the judgement which he executeth: Psalm 14:1.

God protects his children from harm and heals them.
(Psalm 18:2) The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Psalm 34:17 says, The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

God is a God of love! Psalm 8:17: I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. John 3:16 says, 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.
1 John 3:16 says, Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us.
1 John 4:7-8 says, Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

God is a God of righteousness and judgement!
Psalm 7:11 says, God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. Psalms 50:6 says, And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Psalm 116:5: Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
Ecclesiastes 3:17 says, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

What does God require of us?
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 1 John 5:2 says, By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 1 John 3:23 says, And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

Standing for God in This Present Day

Many may ask, “How do I stand for God in this present day?” Some Christians may feel that it is hard to stand up for what is right in this present day, but for others it is a necessity. The gospel started out with one man, the Lord Jesus. He gave his apostles a job to do, which was to share the gospel. Without dedicated and devoted men, we would not have the “good news” today. A new Christian should read their Bible daily to help arm them with what they need in life and to help them spread the “good news”. The good news is that Jesus died for the sins of the world and that he is willing to forgive you of your sins, if you trust in him.

The Bible is great with a lot of good principles to follow. It can change a life, and make a person happier than they have ever been. Realizing God is real and accepting what he says, can change a life forever. The Bible says, And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
(Luke 6:45-47). As a Christian our whole purpose, not our when I can purpose, is to lead others to Christ. Many will come against you in this last day and many will seek to destroy the very thing that you have set up. Satan has many followers and many people doing his service. They might not even realize that what they are doing is so wrong. They might make a movie or write a book about withcraft, sorcery, vampires or satanic cults without realizing what message they are portraying. Some might say, “ah it’s just for fun.” Yes, it is for fun for the devil when he enjoys every minute of it.

In Jeremiah 1:5, it says: Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and ordained thee a prophet. He chose us before we were even born to do his service. We might receive ridicule or mockery in this life, but we will receive a great reward in Heaven, if we do his service. The Lord is the creator of us all. He is more powerful than the Satan and he is long-suffering toward us. He does not want any to perish or go to a devil’s hell. Yes, hell is real. God did not create hell for man but for the devil and his angels. Read Matt 13:42 and 25:41.

It is our job as Christians, servants of the most high God to do his will. His will is to lead as many as possible to God. Romans 3:23 says: For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

For those questioning what their service is or if they can accomplish what God gave them to do. Read 1 John 5.
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. He hath believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself:
