We do not have a clear description of how God looks but we are told that we are created in his image. The main thing to understand is that God is Holy. He is the Holy Spirit which manifest himself in his son Jesus. When we become true believers of Christ, his word says ' that we are to put off that old man. Romans 1:22 That is, that ye cast off, concerning the conversation in time past, that old man, which is corrupt through the deceivable lusts,
23, And be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24, And put on the new man, which after God is created unto righteousness and true Holiness.
25,Wherefore cast off lying, and speak truth unto his neighbor: for we are members of one another.
26, Be angry but sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath,
27, Neither give place to the devil.
28, Let him that stole, steal no more: but let him rather labor, and work with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give unto him that needs.
29, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30, And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31, Let all bitterness, anger, wrath, crying and evil speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousness.
32, Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiving one to another, even as God for Christ's sake, freely forgave you.
We are told that God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it.
Genesis 1;26 says' Let us( God and Christ) make man in our image. In the image of God he created them male and female.
I can look around this big beautiful world and see that someone with great wisdom and an awesome love for us created the universe. This did not happen haphazardly!
Psalm 139:13-14 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that very well.
There is beauty and wisdom in everything that God has created. I have no doubt that God is mighty and powerful.
Some people look around their surroundings and see hate, wickedness, poverty, and vile and quickly ask" where is God? and why does he allow this? When we ask questions like these we refuse to see the truth which is right in front of us. Poverty, wickedness, hate and vileness are all caused by man.
Romans 1:23, For they turned the glory of incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and four footed beast, and of creeping things.
25, Which turned the truth of God unto a lie and worshipped and served the creature, forsaking the creator which is blessed forever. Amen
26, For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.
27, And likewise the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves such recompense of their error, as was meet.
28, For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, even so God delivered them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient,
29, Being full of all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, coveteousness, maliciousness, , full of envy, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the evil part, whisperers,
30, backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, such as can never be appeased, merciless.
31, which men, though they knew the law of God, how that they which commit such things are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also favor them that do them.
Revelations 12:9 says 'And the great dragon was thrown down , that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan. The deceiver of the whole world- he was thrown down to the earth and his angels was thrown down with him.
Luke 10:18-19 And he said unto them, I saw Satan, like lightening, fall down from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpians and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Everything that is not of God is of the evil one, which is the devil. So Satan is the creature, the liar, the deceiver and the murderer. As the word says, " He deceives the whole world" just like he deceived Eve in the garden of Eden.
Genesis 3:4 surely you will not die
5, For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be like Gods knowing good and evil. Since I know good and evil there should be no excuse for my actions, because I am now God. If I am now God what kind of God am I? The creator God is mighty and has all wisdom and power. Let me not forget that he is Holy and He told us to " Be ye Holy because He is Holy". If I am now a god then why do I still die? Why don't I know my tomorrow? How can I live in the flesh and be a God. There are people right now who says that they are Gods. This is the trick of the enemy.
We are made in Gods image but we are not Gods. We now know right from wrong due to the lie which was told to Eve in the garden and this still does not make us Gods. The creature which is the devil and Satan does not love us. He never has and he never will. I have never came across any writings about Satan loving us and wanting to save us from hellfire. He knows that Hell was created for him and his angels who rebelled against God. There is no forgiveness for him because he is forever doomed. However there is forgiveness for us because of Gods love and mercy towards us. He sent his only begotten son to die for our sins. Their is no greater love than this. Satan is still a liar and he is still deceiving. If we are practicing things which are ungodly then we are not serving the creator but the creature. Some people worship cars, houses, money, gold, wood stone and animals. None of these things can save us.
I cannot find anything good written about Satan. I believe this about him though. I believe that he is a coward. He knows that Hell is created for him and the angels who sinned against God and he wants to take as many people as he can get to go to hell and suffer with him. Sad but there are people in this world who act the same way, I am not going down by myself, somebody going with me". Well no one told you to make the choice that you made. We all know right from wrong. Those who choose to do wrong are serving sin not God. We cannot be a God and be full of sin, and have no love for our fellow man. There is only one God and He is not a God of confusion.
Acts 3:14 But ye denied the Holy one and the just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you
15, and killed the prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses. Looks like mankind has been serving the creature since the beginning. Well, When I see all of Gods benefits I know that there is only one thing to do and that is to serve the Creator, the one who created life and everything in this world. He is not the one trying to destroy us. The bible says, " Gods mercies are renewed each morning.
I do not like Satan or anything evil, I do not want to spend my life in hell with a creature such as the devil who has no love and will never have any. The only thing Satan does is unleash his evil on mankind through other evil men who have no love or knowledge of the Almighty. I want to honor my Creator who created me and has shown me his love, wisdom, and awesome power.
