#1 KNOWING GOD – THE ETERNAL ONE

Another Musick-al note    # 32 

     Jesus said, this is eternal life that they know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent (John 17:3).  I am going to begin in this note to tell you some things that I have learned about God.  It may be that you already know these things so these notes will only reinforce your knowledge and that will be good.

    God is!  The Bible does not try to establish the existence of God nor try to reveal His beginning, rather it begins with that fact. The Bible is the revelation of God to guide man throughout life so that man may be blessed in eternity.  God reveals Himself to man while doing so.  Notice these verses, Psalms 90:1-2, “Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world even from everlasting to everlasting you are God.”  Isaiah 57:15, “thus says the high and holy One who inhabits eternity” I dwell in the high and holy place.” What does it mean to ‘inhabit eternity’? I admit that I do not know all the answers, but God seems to be saying that he inhabited eternity before, during and after time.  Further, He lives in such a way that even before time began, He already inhabited eternity after time is over!  Consider such passages as Revelation 13:8, “the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world”, John 8:58 “before Abraham was, I AM, Isaiah 46:10, “declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done”, GOD IS! Eternal,

ever-living, not subject to time, space, distance or measure, yet knows all men and their deeds (Psalms 139:1-18) and will bring all men before Him in judgment (Matthew 25:31-46).

    Let us do His will that we may be blessed in eternity with Him.
