If I AM, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is not the only living, all-powerful, all-knowing, completely just and all-loving God, then I could see a relationship of allegiance, obedience, worship and love of another God as reasonable. God, I AM, is the only true God, but He desires a relationship from love, not law. God, the Father, sent His only Son to make reconciliation possible with Him through the working of the Holy Spirit. He deserves all of my love, worship, obedience, and allegiance–and He has given us the Holy Spirit to make that possible. We have an awesome God who loves and forgives us in spite of our willful failing and sin because of Jesus. Hallelujah!
Exodus 20:3
The Message (MSG)
3 No other gods, only me.
Psalm 30:11-12
The Message (MSG)
11-12 You did it: you changed wild lament
into whirling dance;
You ripped off my black mourning band
and decked me with wildflowers.
I’m about to burst with song;
I can’t keep quiet about you.
God, my God,
I can’t thank you enough.
Proverbs 6:16-19
The Message (MSG)
Seven Things God Hates
16-19 Here are six things God hates,
and one more that he loathes with a passion:
eyes that are arrogant,
a tongue that lies,
hands that murder the innocent,
a heart that hatches evil plots,
feet that race down a wicked track,
a mouth that lies under oath,
a troublemaker in the family.
