The word "God" is a title, not a name, used to distinguish the Almighty Creator from other beings. The LORD God of Israel revealed His name as "I AM" to Moses and described Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Any word used to describe God in another language or culture must translate to the LORD God of Israel and the God of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or it implies the worship of idols and Satan. To properly worship the true God, one must follow Jesus Christ, who declared Himself the way, truth, and life, and is the foundation on which no other can be laid. Grace is found through Jesus alone, and those who
1. The Word For God
The word “GOD” is not a name but a title used by man to separate the
Almighty Creator from other beings. Because God is perceived as
almighty, there can not be any other apart from Him, in His class.
Before Jesus Christ was born, the LORD GOD of Israel revealing His
name to Moses in response to the latter’s demand to know same,
declared:
“and God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall thou say unto the children
of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall thou say
unto the children of Israel, The LORD GOD of your fathers, The God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my
memorial unto all generations” (Exodus 3:14-15 KJV)
Evidently the LORD GOD of Israel has a name – I AM or in full I AM
THAT I AM (YHWH, YAHWEH, YAHOVAH); and to remove any doubt, He
clearly defined Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He
further went on to establish this as His exclusive description for all
eternity and for all generation.
When Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah came; He limited the description
of the Father to that which was already given – the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob.
Granted that every language and culture has a word that stand for the
Supreme Being, however if such word does not translate to the LORD
GOD of Israel – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; then idolatry and
direct worship of Satan is implied and present.
Where I come from, the word for God is ABASI and to separate the true
God from the grand pretender and his cohort-demons, we describe
GOD as Abasi Abraham, Isaac ye Jacob. Any tribe, race, language or
culture whose word for God does not and can not measure up to, or
2. different from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; should consider
such word as a label for idols and demons. Those who think otherwise
can gather at the Valley of Decision where painful signs will be used to
prove the truth to the sons of disobedience. Anybody?
The earth demands severe judgment if the LORD GOD of Israel is not
worshipped in all its regions, and as Revelation 14:6-10 has shown,
those who bow to any other apart from I AM have an appointment with
hellfire.
To be sure the true God is worshipped, we have to follow Jesus of
Nazareth who had declared, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life”.
Again Paul in 1 Cor. 3:11 said that no other foundation can be laid other
than Jesus Christ. This foundation was laid before the world was
created, without it the material world would not have been possible.
The foundation was laid at least 430 years before the Law of Moses was
given. The Law was given as a sign post to guide us to the grace of God
in Christ Jesus. Any other foundation before or after Jesus Christ is
either a shadow of grace or a lie.
Now grace is not just an experience, gift or power; it is a personality
that teaches humanity to turn from rebellion, it is a person that can
preserve those who accept Him (Titus 2:11-14). Grace is Jesus in you
and with you.
those who reject grace have a date with judgment. Peace upon the
wise virgins.
Come Lord Jesus: the Lion and the Lamb, the Shepherd and the Lamb,
the Healer and the Wounded, the Father and the Son; LORD GOD of
Israel.
