Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
Your view of God determines the outcome of your life. Your decisions, plans, and behavior are based on your worldview which includes your opinion and belief of who God IS.
If you believe God doesn’t exist, your life will be lived with relative morals, self-centered accountability, and an uncertain future without hope.
If you believe God is a cosmic force that feeds you with energy, then you will have an impersonal relationship with an electrical-like switch that you turn on and off at your will.
If you believe God is a capitalistic entrepreneur, then you will work your hardest to transact your efforts for the greatest return.
If you believe God is a stern judge waiting for you to mess up and then punish you for your failures, you will be fearful to risk taking chances in life.
If you believe God is a deist who created the world and then left everything behind for humanity to figure out, then you probably allow your self-reliance blind you from developing meaning relationship with others including God for you will want to do everything yourself.
If you believe God is solely into justice, then you will focus so much on right and wrong that you will miss out on peace, mercy, and grace.
If you believe God is solely about love, then you will close your eyes to the destructive behavior of others within communities in the name of love.
God reveals Himself through the pages of the Bible and creation. When you come to understand God is Triune, Father-Son-Spirit, then you begin to see the logical carryover into all creation.
The Bible is the means to the end, not the end of itself. Therefore, use Scripture to enhance your realization of who God IS. As you read the Bible, stop and ask yourself what does this Scripture tell you about God?
And as we come to better know Him, we also come to better know ourselves. Since we are created in His image, our talents, abilities, and makeup are pattern after Him. As we discover how He exercises these qualities, we emulate Him in small physical ways.
Jesus is our role model. He is our rabbi. We are his student. Learning who God IS begins with knowing Jesus. He reveals the Father and introduces us to the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, make Jesus your aim and central core in all your relationships and plans. You will be pleasantly surprised by the outcome of your life as you make Him the central focus of your life.
