SOME THINGS THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT GOD
Text-John 17:3
"And this is life eternal, that they might know
thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou
hast sent."
Everyone is a theologian. Everone has their own
ideas and beliefs about God. Some say He doesn’t even
exist. Others say He is so far removed from the world
that He is unknowable. How much do we really know
about God? Any beliefs that we hold about God need to
be Bibically based. What does the Bible reveal to us
about Him?
I. First of all, did you know that GOD HAS NO BIRTH-
DAY?
He has always existed, so He had no beginning. He
will always exist, so He has no ending.
Psalm 90:2-"...even from everlasting to everlast-
ing, thou art God."
That is hard for us to understand, because we had
a birthday, and most likely, we will have a day of
death, but God is greater than we can ever fully
comprehend in this life.
II. Secondly, did you know that NOTHING EVER TAKES GOD
BY SURPRISE?
You see, He already knows all that is, all that
has ever been, all that will ever be, and all that
could have been. He is eternal, so He sees the
present, past, and future all at the same time.
Isaiah 46:9-10,
"I am God, and there is none like me, declaring
the end from the beginning, and from ancient times
the things that are not yet done, saying, My coun-
sel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure."
Nothing ever happens without His permission, and
He has determined what will happen in accordance
with His soverign will and plan.
III. Thirdly, did you know that GOD IS PRESENT EVERY-
WHERE IN THIS UNIVERSE, AND BEYOND?
He is not limited, as we are, by time, space, or
distance.
John 4:24-"God is a Spirit(KJV)." He is not limit-
ed by a physical form, although He can manifest
Himself, and has done so, in a physical form.
Jeremiah 28:24-"...Do not I fill heaven and
earth?"
Psalm 139:7-"Whither shall I go from thy Spirit
or whither shall I flee from thy presence?"
IV. Fourthly, did you know that GOD IS ALL POWERFUL,
AND THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH HIM?
Matthew 19:26-"...with God all things are possi-
ble."
Daniel 4:25-"He doeth according to his will in
the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of
the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say to
him, What doest thou?"
Acts 17:26-"And hath made of one blood all nations
of men for to dwell on the face of the earth, and
hath determined the times appointed, and the
bounds of their habitation."
V. Fifthly, did you know that GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING
THAT THERE IS TO KNOW. HE EVEN KNOWS ALL THAT
YOU EVER THINK OR DO, AND WHY YOU DO IT.
Psalm 139:16-"Thine eyes did see my substance,
yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my mem-
bers were written, which in continuance were
fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."
Job 42:2-"I know that thou canst do every thing,
and that no thougbt can be withholden from thee."
Matthew 10:30-"But the very hairs of your head
are all numbered."
VI. Did you know that GOD IS WILLING THAT NONE SHOULD
PERISH, BUT THAT ALL MIGHT RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE?
2nd Peter 3:9
VII. Did you know that GOD HAS PROVIDED A WAY FOR
YOU TO KNOW HIM PERSONALLY, AND TO BECOME HIS
CHILD?
John 3:16-"For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever be-
lieveth in him should not perish, but have ever-
lasting life."
John 14:6-(Jesus speaking)-"I am the way, the
truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me."
Conclusion-I’ve only scratched the surface talking
about the greatness of God. He is so much more, but
these things I have shared with you to encourage you
to respond to God’s offer, and receive Jesus Christ
as your Savior, and Lord. Do it now. You’ll be
eternally glad you did.
