    Who is God, that I should serve Him?

    Who is this God christians always talk about, and what makes him different from other gods that I have been hearing about? How do I know He will work for me? Is He gonna make me rich?
    How come it is so easy to know Him? and why can't christians stop talking about Him? Other religions are not so loud. Why are Christians persecuted more compared to the other religions put together?
    If the Bible is no fable them why are we not experiencing his power like in the days of Elijah or Elisha?
    Who is really this Jehovah? and why do we serve Him?
    Have you ever wondered if you were wrong?
    but thank God He is a reality? Heb. 13:8
    Tell me who God is to you.

    Hi like_Jesus. If you don't mind me saying so, those are some very strange questions to ask brother.

    Who is this God christians always talk about, and what makes him different from other gods that I have been hearing about?

    Our God pardons, He forgives, other so called gods do not, they don't exist, they aren't even dead, because they don't exist.

    How do I know He will work for me? Is He gonna make me rich?

    He will give you all the riches of His kingdom, the kingdom of Heaven, He will not give you earthly riches, you have to be last to be first.

    How come it is so easy to know Him? and why can't christians stop talking about Him? Other religions are not so loud.

    It is easy to know Him, because He is the only living God, there is no other. The same reason as above is why we don't stop talking about Him, and we are not loud.

    Why are Christians persecuted more compared to the other religions put together?

    Because Satan hates us.

    If the Bible is no fable them why are we not experiencing his power like in the days of Elijah or Elisha?

    We are experiencing His power, we are experiencing a great move of the Holy Spirit, each and every day, I believe the world is too modern to have miracles, what do you want God to do? Rain fire from the sky? Why not let Him change you?

    Who is really this Jehovah? and why do we serve Him?


    Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the real Jehova. We serve Him because He told us to.

    John 3:16
    16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    Have you ever wondered if you were wrong?
    but thank God He is a reality


    No, I have never wondered, because I believe, I know He is real.


    God is the great I AM, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
    John 20:31
    31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

    The God the Christians worship is the LOrd God Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. He is different because God sent his "only begotten son" to die in our place and to suffer in our stead. He is different because "He is alive"

    How do I know He will work for me?
    There is no other option. Salvation is of the LOrd

    Is He gonna make me rich?
    He gives more than money can buy. He gives what money cannot buy. He gives eternal life.

    How come it is so easy to know Him?
    God made it easy. However it is not so easy as you may think. "Narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few find it. Broad is the way leading to destruction and many pass through"

    Why are Christians persecuted more compared to the other religions put together?
    Christians are persecuted because Jesus is alive. Other faiths do not have this problem...they worship dead men. You cannot persecute a dead man

    If the Bible is no fable them why are we not experiencing his power like in the days of Elijah or Elisha?
    His power is being shown and manifested worldwide. Many thousands are turning to Jesus every day
    Jesus said "I am the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE"......Without the WAY there is no GOING, without the TRUTH there is no KNOWING without the LIFE there is no LIVING....Thats what Jesus said.

    Amen, teraside, and Amen, stephen.

    Mighty strange questions indeed. Irreverent and disrespectful to God, if you ask me.
    What matters is Jesus

    We Come Together Because of God

    You are not like Jesus at all and I won't write your username down.
    Please don't come to this site to dispute, we are here to witness to each other, the power of the Holy Spirit, the Love of God(capital G) and to fellowship in our Brother, Lord Jesus Christ.
    You just don't know the Lord.
    I'm with you Dreamer. Thanks for your answers Stephen and teraside.
    If you only knew Him, you would be glad.
    Amen:Pixie :rose:

    like jesus

    Sorry like jesus, I shouldn't have been so angry. I looked at your other posts and found that you were searching for the Lord.
    Don't let yourself be fooled or go astray.
    Please let Jesus work in you, so that you can know Him personally. I wasn't very Christlike, dissing you.
    Amen: Pixie

    Hello....

    Well, Jesus is MOST WONDERFUL ! He Loves us SO SO MUCH !
    That is the BEST thing about a relationship with Him.
    The more I get to know him the more I know why I serve Him.
    I know I am not answering all of the questions you asked.
    But one was why are Christians so loud about God ?
    Well for me, I just LOVE Him SO MUCH and it is very difficult to NOT say how Wonderful He is. We look around and see the Beauty He has created and He did it ALL for us to enjoy.
    Sunsets,rainbows,trees,mountains,birds, it is almost an endless list of all the Beautiful things He created for us to enjoy and why did He do it?
    Cuz He LOVES US !!!
    I do not know if you will come back to read these posts.
    I hope you will try to get to know Jesus tho, whether you post here or not.
    Try Him. You'll LOVE Him !

    Amen Tera and Stephen. Jesus paid the price for us for you personally when He died that painful awful death on the cross to take away all our sins.

    He chose you before you born. Ephesians 1.4 Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5 His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure.

    He longs to have a personal relationship with you as God is love and His love is unconditional and we serve Him because He is so worthy. We love Him because He first loved us. He says if we love Him we will obey Him. As a born again believer, everything is in Christ. I can do nothing without Him. I pray that you will give your heart to Jesus and know how much he really loves you. When you have Jesus you receive peace that the world does not know a deep inner peace and joy of the Lord and lots more.
    Colossians 3:2-3, "Set you minds on things above, not on earthy things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." (NIV)

    Tell me who God is to you.

    you posted many questions which unbelievers probably ask a lot, and it is good to get them out into the open with some answers and dialog about them for others who may be wanting to ask just such questions but for whatever reason they haven't.
    i have also read over some of your other posts which shows you really think about things which is really good.

    for me God is extremely special ! !

    it's all about our relationship with Him, and with Jesus as our mediator we have the chance to be redeemed, bought with the price Jesus paid for us.

    the Love God has for us is so Awesome! !
    A.S.A.P. = Always Say A Prayer :love: Jesus :rose: :rainbow:
