Description
The God of the Bible
by David Hocking
The God of the Bible is NOT Allah of the Islamic religion.
He is NOT the “big bang” in evolutionary thinking.
He is NOT “the Man upstairs.”
He is NOT the “Divine principle.”
He is NOT merely the emotion of love, although He is indeed the epitome of what love is and how it operates.
He is NOT simply a vapor or a ghost or an idea or merely the principle of life!
The world is religious – very religious! 90% of the world’s population believes in God. But, they disagree about His true identity and what He can do or has done. To some, He is personal and close; to others, He is distant and unknowable on a personal level. The world disagrees about what God expects or commands. They develop religious systems and rituals to help them find Him and relate to Him.
In moments of heartache, trials, disappointments, and discouragement, most people want to know if there is a God who understands our feelings and cares about us. When your total perspective in life begins and ends with
self, there is very little comfort and hope. When your dreams are shattered, your ideals destroyed, and your goals unrealized, a certain emptiness remains that only God can fill. The big questions about the origin of all things, death, and life after death are answered satisfactorily only when we root our understanding in the presence and existence of God, a God who knows the beginning and the end of all things and who is personally involved in the course of human lives and events. That God really does exist! He is personal and knowable, and He is “THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.”
