“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they have done abominable works there is none who does good.” [1]
Who has been fooled to think there is no God. or into treating God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit as less than God?
Jesus said, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” [2]
God wants all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth. [3] Jesus Christ is the truth that we must come to for salvation. To follow anyone else, or to behave as though you can save yourself or save others, is to follow a false god.
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” [4]
The One who imputes justness before God is Jesus the Messiah. He grants His righteous status before God to us when we believe in Him for salvation. The One who imparts just behavior to us is Jesus the Messiah. He does this by giving us His Holy Spirit.
Jesus the Messiah is our source of hope for eternal life with God, and He is the source of our ability to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before God. All the glory be unto Him!
