Faith Column: The Lord wants you to live in His light
Faith
1 Kings 8:60 — So that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God and that there is no other.
Isn’t it quite amazing how many “religions” there are in the world? It seems that no matter where you go or who you talk to, they seem to have some belief about God. They may believe in the One True God, or they may believe there are many gods. The reason, I believe, is that we are born with a place in our soul that can only be filled up by God Himself.
Romans 1:18-20 — The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities — His eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Every person knows internally that there is a God. You must force yourself to deny Him and lie to yourself. And, the evil one is certainly glad for people to serve their “made up” gods. In fact, he is very pleased with most religions in this world. He doesn’t mind at all that people worship the sun or the moon, creation, or their horoscope readings. The only God that he fears is the God that we should be worshipping.
I tell people all the time that religion will never get you to heaven, but it will take you to hell. Why? Because religion is man’s attempt to get to God. The only hope for that is that God came to us, died for us and rose again for us. His name is JESUS the Christ.
Acts 4:11-12 — Jesus is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
Dear LORD, You are God and there is no other. Help us to proclaim Your name above every other name. You deserve all praise and glory. You are the only way of salvation. You are the only One True God, In Jesus Name, Amen.
