48. GOD
--page 411--
God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (Jn.4:24).
1. God is Love, not a cruel tyrant, not a monster Who is trying to frighten everyone into Hell, but a God Who is trying to love everyone into Heaven! You must simply love Him, receive Jesus into your own heart personally and love others--that's all!
2. We have a whole God for the whole man, Who is able to do anything.
3. God is a spirit Who is everywhere, omnipresent; all-powerful, omnipotent; all-knowing, omniscient!
4. Good always wins, because good is of God, and God can't lose!
5. The omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient Spirit of God pervades all things, God is everything and everything is God, in a sense. He's so great we can't even understand Him!
6. The power and life of the universe is what some people call God but what the Bible calls Love, for "God is Love", the very spirit of Love itself, everlasting love that never ends, from a Lover Who never leaves, the Lover of all lovers, God Himself.(1Jn.4:8)
7. The most outstanding thing about our God is what the World can't understand, He can't be seen! We worship the unseen God!
8. God is spirit, which is a form of power or energy--spiritual energy.
9. The true God is a good God, who is kind and loving and concerned about His children, and wants them to have total life, liberty and happiness.
10. God is like the great computer. You can plug into Him and by His power or His Spirit He can give you all the information and all the wisdom and all the answers that you need in His Spirit.
11. You can explain God to your children as soon as they can talk. As soon as they understand that a mother and a father are people who love them and take care of them and who gave them birth, and created them, you can explain that God is a great Father Who, though they cannot see Him, is everywhere, in Love, and is the Spirit of Love. That's all they need to know.
12. There are some things that God cannot do, because He will not do them, because He's bound Himself within certain limitations, so as not to interfere with your power of choice, because you have to make the decision, and He's not going to force you to do His Will!
13. God is not the traditionally manufactured God of hypocritical churchianity and verbose religiosity, but the genuine basic power and guiding light of the Universe, which has in some way brought man into being, and as his benevolent Fatherly Creator, has some kind and benign purpose in store for him, a final fulfillment of His undeniably human aspirations for love, life, liberty and happiness.
14. The true God is a good God Who is kind and loving and concerned about His children and Who hates war and its rich perpetrators and deplores the poverty of the poor and their suffering and is determined to set things right. He is the power and life of the Universe that some people call God but that the Bible itself calls Love, for God is Love, the very spirit of Love itself, true Love, everlasting Love, real Love, genuine Love that never ends from a Lover Who never leaves, the Lover of all Lovers, God Himself.
15. God is a good God, a loving God, a Fatherly loving Heavenly Father Who loves you and wants you to enjoy yourself and wants you to enjoy sex and wants you to enjoy Love. He made it all for you to enjoy.
16. God is a great, kind and loving Father, Who has made this beautiful World as a home for you, His child, to live in and enjoy! He has lovingly given you a wonderful body, mind and heart with which to enjoy it and each other!
17. We have only one God, God our Father in Heaven, the God of the Bible, Whose Son is Jesus Christ, the One and Only Creator of the Universe.
18. I don't have a sad God--I have a happy God, Who wants me to be happy, and you as well! This is the whole point to it all, to relieve us of the suffering, pain, death and tears brought into the World by the Enemy and the sins of man.
19. "Therefore, fear not, for I am thy God and thy testimony and thy peace and thy great fortress `round about thee which is in the heavenlies which no human power can touch, which is above all Earthly powers, and none can stand against thee, for I am thy God and thou art My children, and they are but specks and shall be blown away!"
