WHO IS JESUS?

Christ (JESUS) is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.

Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body.

He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. - Colossians 1:15-20

WHO IS GOD? WHERE IS HE?

Who is God? Where is he?

The Lord is spirit. He is everywhere. On a personal note the bible adds " The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth - Psalm 145:18".

God is known in his creation, and he is close to every one of us. But he is not trapped in his creation—he is transcendent. God is the Creator, not the creation. This means that God is sovereign and in control, while at the same time he is close and personal. Let the Creator of the universe rule your life.

The Bible says, God is love - 1John 4:8.

God’s love for us is so unconditional. Not one of us has earned it, or deserves it. We are so fortunate to have his grace and love. Though we may do many good works… it does not earn God’s love.  He is The Creator, who loves the created so much that he became one of us. He is perfect love … in all it’s glory.

We can no more separate ourself from God’s love, then we could separate ourself from God. It is total, unconditional and will always seek out our heart. Even in the depths of sin, we hear the words of the creator in our hearts. My friend, we have been bought and paid for in blood. Jesus died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice for the atonement of our sins.  There is no way to separate ourself from that, unless we very willingly walk away, and even then … The Creator … calls us back and wants us to Him.

Be Blessed!!! You are loved … because GOD IS LOVE!!!!!
