The True Nature Of God by bxcode(m): 9:33am On Sep 26, 2015
Firstly i must say that I respect whatever anyone believe in and am not condemning anyone's belief, if God haven't condemned anyone yet who am I to. To all the atheists, Muslims, agnostics, believers and non believers alike, I love ya all equally. Actually any believer that goes about cursing Muslims, atheists etc dosen't really know who God is because God is love. Actually that's what this post is all about, to let us know a bit about the true nature of God.
God is LOVE. it's as simple as that. But is that the way God has been represented today, even among the so called Christians? No. God has been presented to the world today as an angry, mean, insensitive and wicked God and you know what that's why some people dosent wanna associate themselves with him. No civilized nation will wanna associate themselves with a God that causes diseases, wars and all the terrible things happening in the world today I wouldn't rather.
Let's see the true nature of God. People often refer to the old testament of the bible to all the terrible things that God did and from then conclude that God is like that. But did you know that the first murderer on this earth Cain was protected by God after he murdered his brother Abel as it is in Genesis 4 but God later in the days of Moses will have a man stoned to death because he picked sticks on the Sabbath day. Why? God after man had disobeyed him in the garden of Eden didn't hate man or punish them, he still loved them that was why Cain was able to get away with his murder instead of being punished. But man started seeing the mercy of God as an approval to sin and started living in sin. and for 2000years after the fall of man God never imputed man's sin on him. That's his true nature. But what was that doing to man? It destroyed man further and gave the devil a way into man's life to carry out his self destructive work. Then God having seen the future knew that if he continue to show man mercy they will completely destroy themselves before his redemption for us through Jesus comes. Then he brought the law and commandments only to put a momentary stop to the cancerous nature of sin and to make man see that he can't redeem himself. But it's unfortunate that people today are still holding that old testament way that God operated with and only sees God that way. The law came about so that man will see that God didn't approve sin but was later disanulled when Jesus came.
If you are still seeing God as a wicked angry and mean God then you are living under deception to both the believers and non believers. There are many verses in the new testament that shows us that God's true nature was manifested in his son Jesus. God ain't angry with you anymore, tho you don't love him or believe in him or live against his will, he still loves you so much, all your sins was paid for by his son Jesus whom he sent still out of his love to redeem mankind. Can't you see God's plan all along? Would you accept a medicine if you didn't know you were sick? The law and God's anger was shown in the old to let us know how miserable we are with the intention of giving us a medicine Jesus later on. Now the question is will you accept his love or reject it? You know people relate with God out of fear and not out of love. It's even better you don't worship him at all than to worship him out of fear rather than love.
People It's high time you change your concept about God and stop living under the law.
Romans 3:19 reads thus Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
The law made us guilty and condemned mankind before God and that's it's purpose.
Romans 7:7 says that without the law sin is dead.
1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Cor 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.......... The reason why you live in sin is because you are still under the law.... shocking?
2 Corinthians 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ........ the old law was called the ministry of death and you still cling unto it To base your perception about God?
To all and sundry, God is love. He won't send you to hell because you are an atheist or a sinner or a homosexual and so on you are only killing yourself without knowing by engaging in what you are doing because you are walking with the probe of destruction who will lead you to self destruct at the end which some will still blame God for. The hell is meant for the sons of rebellion ie sons of the devil. But if you think you can stand up to God on your own by rejecting him or Jesus them get ready because judgement day is coming and it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Jesus even died for you....the question is will you believe?
This is awesome!

These is good. GOD did not want anyman to perish, but that they should all be saved and come to the knowledge of truth. 1Timothy 2:4, but people do not want to know Christ because the don't know the love God has shown to us through his son and many have been blindfolded by the devil 2 Corinthians 4:4.

Look at this trend that shows and talk on how God loved us, people don't view such post and comment constructive comment, but they enjoy sin and take pleasure in those trends that lends them to more ungodliness. Acts 17:30, God have over look the days of ignorant, he want us to repent and be save.

No excuss policy in Heaven. GOD IS LOVE.
