Revelation 1:18 I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.
WOW! God’s Word speaks for itself to show us Life (living life-Himself)
People go around asking all kinds of questions daily. Some of the many questions we have heard are: Who made the trees? The flowers? The birds? The animals? The earth? The rocks? The stars, sun, moon, ocean, mountains? Who made you and me? And the answer is: Someone who is greater, more intelligent than all, made them!
That Someone is the only true and living God. He is invisible to our eyes, because He is a Spirit. He lives in heaven. He is eternal. He has always existed and He always will. We know Him because we see the things He has made and because He has given us His book called the Bible in which He reveals Himself to us. We don’t find His bones in a grave, like other gods who have died, because our God lives!
Do you know the only true and living God? If not, would you like to? Do you want to be free from your daily burdens of sin and have a sweet assurance of “living” with the “Living One”?
If you are ready to meet the “I AM” and “live” with the “Living One” for eternity then all you have to do is ask Him.
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, I believe Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for my sins, was buried and rose from the grave. I ask You now, Lord Jesus, to come into my heart, and take away my sins, and save my soul. Change my heart and life, Lord, to be what You want me to be! I thank You, Lord for the forgiveness of my sins, Your gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your mercy and grace! AMEN.
Oh what a precious journey you will have as you will get to know the “I AM” – the “Living One” now that you have accepted Him as Christ your Savior. I may not ever get to meet you personally here on this earth, but know, my friend, that I will be praying for you as you begin your new life with Him, and on the day He returns I will meet you in heaven! Hallelujah!
**********
Let’s Pray:
Dear God,
I thank You for these past seven weeks that we have been able to dig in Your Word together, Lord, and truly get to know Who You Are and who we are in You. I thank You for any that have received You as Savior and I ask that You help them to continue to dig in Your Word and become the beautiful creation that You intended for them to be and help them to spread this wonderful news of salvation with the world. In Your name, I pray.
Amen!

As soon as you said, “Someone who is greater, more intelligent than all, made them!”, I was reminded of the old song, “Somebody Bigger than You or I.” I pray this blesses everyone this morning–http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Drn1kR3_8.

Love this!
As I was reading this and got to the questions part, I thought well God of course. Then I thought of my babies, those are questions they would ask. And what will I say? I tried to think of a “politically correct” answer, but my spirit said, there is no other answer. God is all. There is no getting around it. Thank you, Lord!
Thanks Ahmee and isn’t it comforting to know that there is NOTHING more we need. Have a blessed day!
Beverly, THANK YOU for all you’ve done throughout this study! I love your teaching! I love your heart for JESUS!! And I love the “Our Living God A-Z” that you added here!!! I’m printing it out, along with many other print-outs from this study, and adding it to my Bible!!
