Bible Question: Why do we honor God? What has he done to make us so keen to know him? |
Bible Answer: Dear Allison (luvsoccer) - The naked truth is that the world does not honor God. The world hates the Son of God (John 7:7) who alone is the sole means of salvation (Acts 4:12). ...... I don't know how to answer your second question, "What has He (God) done to make us so keen to know him?" without quoting the entire Bible verbatim in this post! But that's a physical impossibility, isn't it? So let's just begin right where the Bible begins and consider the first statement that the word of God makes. I like to think of it as the introduction of the Mighty God to His creation, the very first revelation God makes of Himself to mankind: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). This revelation alone is reason aplenty to be keen to know Him, isn't it. And that majestic verse that Azure gave you, John 3:16! O, what an impelling reason it gives for us mortals to know our God, our Creator, our Loving Savior! He who loved us in such an incomparable way that He was willing to give His one and only Son, Messiah, the Christ, the Savior, so that we would not perish in our sins but have eternal life with Him. Read the Bible, dear questioner. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest all the mighty acts of God, and see how many reasons you can find why you should be keen to know Him! May your search be fruitful and your soul blessed. --Hank |
