Who Is God

So we have a god who's either we want a god who's either loving kind or truth, but the reality is he's both. So how could he be loving kind abounding in loving kindness and abounding in truth? Here's the thing. God's word, god's standard, god's nature, god's character, god's essence never changes. Right. And yet, he invites us into relationship with him. For Moses, it was come up the mountain. For you and I, it has come to Jesus. [00:29:52] (33 seconds)  #GodIsLoveAndTruth

And so here's what I draw from that and and how it informs this passage. God will not share his glory with another. Any idea that we have of God in our minds that does not align with his word is an idol. How many of you know, a lot of people say, God is love. He would never punish sin. There no one there's no there can't be any such thing as hell if there's a loving God. Right? Anybody ever heard that? [00:09:20] (33 seconds)  #GodAloneGlory

Make no mistake. We were born in sin. We live in sin. We like sin because it's fun, but when the holy spirit tugs at our hearts and convicts us and draws us to God, And he gives us a faith to believe. What God uses often in that moment is that warning that in that moment, if we follow Jesus, we move to life with him. And if we choose not to, we walk into eternity without him where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. [00:31:57] (40 seconds)  #FollowJesusChooseLife

I don't know how much life you have left. We think that when you're McKenna's age, we've got seventy or eighty years before retirement. But we don't know. You might go to sleep one night and just not wake up. We don't know how much life we have left. And God loves you and desires a relationship with you. He's already paid the price for that. So if you belong to him, he's worthy of every song you could ever sing. [00:37:01] (44 seconds)  #LifeIsShortChooseJesus

I'm not sure who needs to hear this this morning. You may have messed up. You may still be messing up. And the the enemy wants to whisper to you and say, you're just human. You'll never be perfect until you get to heaven. Anybody ever heard that? Thought that? So why try? Right? Then he says, god could never accept you. God's gonna have to change some rules for you to fit in. And god says, no. No. No. God's gonna have to change you so you fit in. [00:13:28] (37 seconds)  #GodTransformsYou

God loves you and he desires to have a relationship with you, but he's also the God of truth. And he can't make sin no big deal. As a matter of fact, sin was such a big deal, he sent his only son to be crucified in a brutal, shameful death publicly to pay the penalty that your sin demanded.

So this morning, we're gonna talk about walking with one another. We've been in a series of messages called the one anothers of the bible and talking about being one. But I think what God is speaking to my heart this morning, and I hope he'll speak to yours, is that we need to understand being one only matters if the one you're under is worthy.

So we never forget that the god who loves us is still the god of truth because we want one or the other. Again, we we in man made religions, god either doesn't care about sin, live any way you want, or God cares so much about sin that no one will ever possibly get to him except for the one person that's asking you to follow them.
