“Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? (22) It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: (23) That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.” Isaiah 40:21 - 23
Here on this earth, there are billions of people, and only a
few, compared to the number of people who have any true idea Who God is. You go
into most houses of worship, you listen to most singing, you listen to
brilliant men preach, many with PhD’s and their worshiping, preaching, singing,
and praying to a god they do not believe has the ability to accomplish
anything. Or they do believe God that can do a few things and have no faith in
Him to do it. As one man wrote, there are no Arminian prayers, only Sovereign prayers.
You hear people pray for someone to be saved but then they turn around and say,
“God can’t change people’s will” So the question must be, why pray to
Him. Most people do not know God because they have not heard, pastors and
worship services alike do not know God, so how can they teach God to those
listening. And even worse they know the truth and deny the truth in their
preaching and teaching. Some poor souls just have never had the opportunity in
life to learn of God, to be truly saved, or to understand the scriptures. But
others have been taught, learned, even understood, but for one reason or another
denied God and walked away from the Truth. Either way God said they are without
excuse. “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God
hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of
the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even
his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” Romans
1:19 – 20
If you cannot look at the universe or into the heavens, or
at the earth, or even at mankind and see that God is the Sovereign Being of the
creation, then you do not know God, and you are without excuse. People, houses
of worship, ministers and teachers alike not only deny God, but blame Him for
much of the bad in this world because they do not know God. Did you know that
the problems in the world are because of Sin? It is people’s fault, but instead
of taking blame, people just blame God. God is to blame for not stopping
natural disasters, God is to blame for school shootings, even church shootings,
people love to blame God. See if you recognize these quote’s “where was God”,
“why didn’t God stop it”, or “Why did God allow this to happen”. Did
you know that God is not to blame, we are, people are, it is because of sin.
Look at the world, look at the sinfulness of people, and ask yourself, “should
God fix this”? Did you know at one time the world looked so ugly that God said
it repented Him that He made man? Did you know that because God was repented at
making man and because sin was so bad, that God flooded the entire earth and
killed every man, woman, child, and creature, except for those He saved on the
ark. Did you know that God is going to send tribulations on this earth that has
never seen before? Did you know that one day God will once again kill every man,
woman, child, creature, and destroy the earth and heavens with fire? Ignorance is
not an excuse; it is your own fault. Everything bad is our own fault, it is
because we sin against the Sovereign God of the Universe. People say God
created them in sinful ways, God created two people and they were created “upright”
not sinners. Every other soul was “born” with two sinful parents, except Jesus
the Christ. People are born the way they are because of sin, not because God
created them that way, stop blaming God for sin. Listen to these scriptures,
“He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his
wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. When he uttereth
his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the
vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain,
and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.” Jeremiah 10:12 - 13 Do you truly know God, or
do you pretend to know God? If you do not know that God is the Sovereign Being
that sits above the circle of the earth, the Sovereign God over all creation,
the Sovereign God who can do and does all His ordained will, and the Sovereign
God that can and does change peoples will and save some lost sinners, then you
do not know God!
