How You Can Know GOD: Part 1

This scribed message is found in the new believer’s BIBLE: first steps for new Christians.

“What is missing in our lives?” To answer this-this is your “purpose,” your “meaning,” and “a reason for living-these are all things we desire and search for in life. Despite steps each one of us takes to find purpose and meaning in life, we still feel empty, unfulfilled. That is because there is spiritual emptiness in each of our lives. We each have a hole in our heart, a spiritual vacuum deep within our soul-a ‘God-shaped blank.’ Possessions won’t fill this hole, nor will success. Relationships alone cannot satisfy this emptiness, and morality, in and of itself, falls miserably short of occupying this space. In fact, even religion cannot fill the void in our heart.

There is only one way to effectively fill that void. This way will not only help us to have a life that is full and rich on this earth, but-more important-will give us the absolute hope of spending eternity in the presence of God. Before we can truly appreciate this good news, though, we need to understand the bad news, which is a serious problem we all have.

The problem: sin. “The Bible clearly identifies our serious problem as sin. Sin is not just an act but the actual nature of our being. In other words, we are not sinners because we sin. Rather, we sin because we are sinners! We are born with a nature to do wrong. King David, an Old Testament Israelite ruler wrote, ‘For I was born a sinner-yes, from the moment my mother conceived me’ (Psalm 51:5). Because we are born sinners, sinning comes to all of us naturally. This is why it is futile to think that the answer to all of life’s problems comes from ‘within.’ According to the Bible, the problem is within! Scripture tells us, “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?” (Jeremiah 17:9).

We are not basically good-we are basically sinful. This sinfulness spills out into everything we do. Every problem we experience in our society today can be traced back to our refusal to live God’s way. Clear back to the Garden of Eden, Adam made his choice, and he suffered the consequences of it, setting the pattern that all humanity would follow. The Bible explains, ‘When Adam sinned, sin entered the entire world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned…. Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone’ (Romans 5:12, 18).

‘That’s not fair!’ you may protest. Why should we suffer because of what someone else has done? Yet, given the opportunity, each one of us would have done the same thing as Adam. In fact, not a single day passes that we do not face the same test that was set before Adam. God has given us the freedom to choose between two separate paths: the path that leads to life and the path that leads to death. The Bible says, ‘Today, I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!’ (Deuteronomy 30:19).

Please note: that science does not take any part of God’s existence and his creation to the earth. It is not a proven factor by science. Science does not take any part of his magic. Scientists only believe what they think about how the earth was formed without a God.

This is not intended to change the scripture or revise the bible in any way. This article is intended for you to believe in God and the churches. The churches that study the bible believe the bible is life. The way of life.

The bible is a living written document scribed over 4,ooo B.C. (before Christ) and A.C. (after Christ) and that scripture tells us what is guided, known and written by man. There are short books written by his chosen men. A man who was chosen to write his scriptures as their sworn duty on earth. His scriptures belong to God and that God wants his human beings, us, to understand his way how he imagined life should be. My opinion of the bible is said to be the way of life but the most important question is, how do we know that for sure? For starters, I understand that he is a metaphor and that God has created the earth does exist and is explained in the bible.
