Who is this God? Is He a myth? Is He real? Is He friend or is He foe? Can He be trusted? Or is He just another someone that will judge you and turn His back on you? Does He really love me?
These are valid questions, and all of them have answers. God is love. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8
He is the great I Am. he is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 3:6). He is the alpha and omega (Revelation 22:13).
He is real, and He is a friend. "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." John 15:15
He can be trusted with our entire life. We will all be judged, but God will not turn His back on anyone who has trusted in Christ Jesus. "Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us." Romans 8:33-34.
Yes, He loves you. "This is real love--not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins." 1 John 4:10. Yes, God loves you. He loves the world.
Not only does He act as our provider (Jehovah Jirah-Genesis 22:14), He is also our prince of peace (Jehovah Shalom-Judges 6:24), and our hedge of protection (Isaiah 9:6).
God is who He says He is. There is nothing anyone can say to change what is. He love us, and he cares for us. He watches over us when we sleep (Psalm 121:4). When we cry, He holds every tear. "Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?" Psalm 56:8.
He wants a relationship with us, and He hears our prayers.
