You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
Nehemiah 9: 6

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
Colossians 1:15 – 16

GOD IS ETERNAL

Eternity is a concept that is hard to understand because we live in time.
We are prisoners of time. The time we were born was recorded. There will be a time when we will die. All we do in our lifetime is measured in time – years, days, hours and minutes. We are constantly aware of time so it is hard for us to understand timelessness.

But you, LORD, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through
all generations. In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. But you remain the same and your years will never end.
Psalm 102: 12, 25 – 27

ONLY ONE GOD

“This is what the LORD says—
Israel’s King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last;
apart from me there is no God.”
Isaiah 44: 6

Do you believe there is only one living God?

IS THE BIBLE TRUE?
Some of the books of the Bible were written by prophets. These were men who spoke God’s words to the people. They told about coming events many years before they happened.

The purpose of prophecy is to let you know that God exists and that He has a plan for this world and for each individual in it. The fact of fulfilled prophecy is perhaps the strongest argument for the divine inspiration of the Bible. For example, the prophet Micah in chapter 5 verse 2 predicted the birthplace of Jesus 700 years before his birth!

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are small among the clans of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
from ancient times.”

Read Matthew 2: 4 – 6 to see where Jesus was born

Jesus said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."

Luke 24: 44 4

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3: 16 – 17

There is only one thing that we can trust to always point us in the right direction, and that is the Bible. It will always point to Jesus and Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes to the Father but by me."

Father, we thank you for giving us the Bible to be our guide through life. Help us to remember that we can always depend on the Bible to point us in the right direction. Amen.
