God is pure love. His loves rains down upon us constantly, but many shield them selves from receiving His love because of their non-belief in Him or they choose not to obey Him.

1. Who is God?
Trust God
By John Park

2. Is God A Loving God or A Cruel God?
People have different opinions on who God is and
the ones that say that God is cruel will go to the
Old Testament and cite passages about when
God flooded the world and all those innocent
children were drowned or when He had the
Israelites conquer nations and kill everyone in
those nations and destroy all their idols. God has
a purpose for everything that He does, you just
have to look for it. Who is God? He is pure love.

3. Before God flooded the world He gave people fare
warning and I would say in the tune of about 125
years, I think that would be considered fare
warning. One thing about God is that He will not
intervene into someone’s life unless He is asked to.
When it comes to the children dying in the flood,
Noah could not go out and kidnap all the children,
the people or parents would have killed him. The
parents are the ones responsible for their child’s
safety and so they chose not to secure their own
children’s lives.

4. God gave us free will and these people chose to
reject God’s warning and people continue to reject
God to this day. So if a person dies and winds up in
an unpleasant place, is that God’s fault? No,
because God gave man free will to choose his own
destiny. God is fair, patient and just, He gives man
every opportunity to save himself from himself.

5. The other part about God sending the Israelites to
destroy specific nations was because these nations
were evil and had to be eliminated. God did not
play favorites either, He brought nations in to
destroy the Israelites as well when they rebelled
against God and God gave them plenty of warning
by way of the prophets. All through history there
have been many nations that raided villages and
murdered the people of the villages.

6. For example, take Germany and Japan in World
War II, do you think it was wrong for the United
States and the other nations to go in and defeat
them? They were two evil nations that murdered
many people and many of them couldn’t even
defend themselves. God gave the Pharaoh of
Egypt plenty of warnings before He unleashed the
plagues upon them. It wasn’t until the tenth plague
that the Pharaoh gave in and let the people go, but
that didn’t stop him either, he went after them and
lost again.

7. Unfortunately, history does repeat itself and what
happened to the Israelites in the Old Testament is
going to happen to the United States and England
for rebelling against God. These two nations are
sister nations of Israel. God blessed these two
nations with prosperity, power and security against
their enemies. Those days are long gone past,
these two nations are going to pay the price for
pushing God aside and becoming corrupt, immoral
and lacking in spirituality.

8. God’s warnings are written in Deuteronomy 28 and
Leviticus 26, how God blesses a nation is also
written there as well. If you read them, you will see
that what is written is unfolding before your very
eyes today. The Book of Jeremiah also warns these
two nations about impending doom and
destruction. Again, God is patient and He gives us
plenty of warnings before He unleashes His wrath
upon any nation. He will protect the people that are
true to Him regardless of what He does to the
nation just like He did in the Old Testament. Who is
God? He is our protector.

9. Using God’s Name In Vain
There are religions that have gone out and
still do commit murder in the name of God.
God in no way condones this type of activity,
as a matter of fact, He has a commandment
for this type of activity. It is, “Do not take the
Lord your God’s name in vain.” People have
been doing this for many years and they
justify their actions by claiming that they do it
for God. These people do not know what true
religion is in the eyes of God.

10. ‘Nobody must imagine that he is religious while he
still goes on deceiving himself and not keeping
control over his tongue; anyone who does this has
the wrong idea of religion. Pure, unspoilt religion in
the eyes of God our Father is this: coming to the
help of orphans and widows when they need it, and
keeping oneself uncontaminated by the world.’
James 1: 26, 27. Help others when they need it,
love one another, don’t gossip or speak ill about
people. What the world has to offer is only
temporary, store up your treasures in heaven, don’t
become a slave to the world. Who is God? He is
everlasting eternal life.

11. God’s Only Begotten Son
God loves us so much that He sent His only
begotten Son to teach us, suffer for us, sacrifice
His life for us, He died on the cross for us, and
then was resurrected defeating death. God
fulfilled His end of the New Covenant He struck
with us. God did this so that we count be in union
with Him once again through His Son Jesus
Christ. Jesus , if we are willing, will lead us back
to God, He will ask God on our behalf to give us
the Spirit of Truth to teach us how to grow to
spiritual maturity, discern truth, and be in union
once again with God.

12. Jesus teaches us truth and shows us what we need
to do to overcome our corrupt flesh so that we can
be purified to receive the Spirit of Truth to be with
us forever. What a beautiful gift from God and
thanks be to Jesus for all He does and has done for
us. God, in no way wants us to condemn ourselves
to torments that await those who don’t repent. He
has done everything possible to give us a way out.

13. We deceive ourselves into choosing our own fate
over the love of God. We choose this passing world
and the temporary things that the world has to offer
over the beautiful things that God has to offer us.
Things like, love, peace, joy, happiness, prosperity
and everlasting eternal life. The happiness this
world has to offer is only temporary, that is why
man has to constantly keep seeking it, working
hard for it and trying to escape the misery of the
world in their minds to fabricate a place of
enjoyment, whether it be a fantasy, a past vacation,
memorable moments, etc., etc.

14. People use many means of escape to forget about
their troubles to find that moment of relaxation or
happiness that doesn’t last. God can give us
freedom from the bondages of this world that last,
He doesn’t want us to be miserable, He wants us
to be happy because He loves us and He is our
Father. Most parents out there want the same
thing for their children, they will go to great lengths
to give their kids a decent life. Well, this is what
God wants to do for us. Who is God? He is our
Father.

15. Man Brings His Own Woes Upon Himself
From sin comes many negative actions that
take place whether they are physical, mental
or emotional. Pride is the root of all sin and it
not only affects us, but others as well. When
we let pride or the carnal self dominate our
soul and intellect we do things that bring us our
own misery. I’ll try to keep this brief because it
in itself could be a whole nother article.

16. God created us and He also gave us instructions
on how to avoid living unhealthy, being hateful
towards our fellowman, how to keep famine at
bay, live in peace without fear from terrorism or
invading countries, the problems having a ruler
over us (other than one appointed by God) will
cause, no corruption, have no crime, no violence,
no diseases and no plagues. He promises us that
if we follow Him we will live in peace and be
blessed with happiness and prosperity.

17. Problem: Man does not want what God has to
offer. Look around the world, look at the condition
of the United States and England, not a pretty
sight is it? This all brought about by man wanting
to do things his way. This is something that
usually hurts people’s pride because it is truth, if
one wants to escape all the problems of the world
and the problems in one’s life, all they have to is
turn to God and follow the road He has laid out for
us through His Blessed Son Jesus Christ. Who is
God? He gives us love that burns like a fire in our
soul, the fire of love.
