Message from Scripture: 7/28/2020

Today’s message from Scripture comes from Heb. 4:13: “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, are divine, which means there are certain traits, or characteristics, of them that define who they are as deity. Three of those traits are that they are omniscient, meaning all knowing, omnipotent, meaning all powerful, and omnipresent, meaning being everywhere at all times. Why is this crucial for deity in relation to us as part of creation?

It is essential so that God can watch over us and offer His help to us. It is essential for Him to be able to hear our prayers, to know our needs and respond appropriately. It is essential for Him to demonstrate His love for us, intervening in human history and providing for our needs, especially in the sacrifice of Christ for our sins. It is essential so He can offer the direction we need to stay on the right path, and have the guidance we need to make better decisions in the choices we have in life. It is essential so He can respond appropriately to His will and offer to us eternal life.

We need God, His Son, and the Spirit to have these attributes inherently as part of their eternal nature, if we are to have any confidence in living today, and have hope for tomorrow. In everything He has supremacy (Col. 1:17). He doesn’t do all this to intimidate us, but because he loves us and provides what is best. This is the God we need to watch over us, the Savior we need to give us forgiveness, and the Spirit we need who has revealed God’s will for every aspect of life.

Let’s give thanks to God for all that is offered us, a wholeness to life today, a promise fulfilled in eternity. Have a great day today, because of what we have, what we are, what we will be in Him. God bless.
