The verses that I quoted in the previous ‘Link’, was a direct reference to what God said to Moses when he spoke to Him from the burning bush and revealed Himself under His Name, as it is written: ‘God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM’. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you’. (Exodus 3: 14) ‘Jehovah’ whom we call LORD! No wonder the people tried to stone Him, because, in their estimation, he blasphemed! Obviously, we live in the world in which most people do not believe that the Bible is the only book in which God reveals Himself to men, as Father, Son and Holy-Spirit. Ever since Jesus came as a man, there was a confusion as to who He was, nowadays, this confusion is even greater, we find that to keep the peace, even Christians rarely mention His name! Everybody has a god, but only Christians have Jesus as Lord: ‘Jehovah’. According to the truth, as revealed by the Bible, He is divine, the Son of Almighty God. Men, throughout all generations, in the Old as in the New Testament, have proved it, and have left a witness of their experiences. It is of paramount importance that Christians confess openly that Jesus Christ is God. 

God revealed Himself to men He chose in various circumstances. He spoke to them, sharing with them some details of His plan, for them and the earth. For instance, in the record we have of his call of Abraham, Genesis 12, God told Him things that are only recorded much later, because it is obvious, that for that reason, he did not seek to possess the earthly Canaan, he was not hankering after any of it; when the time came to bury Sara, his wife, he bought a plot of land, in Machpelah, for which he paid four hundred shekels, which amounts to almost seven kilos of silver, his two sons Ishmael and Isaac, buried him there also. In the book of Hebrews, which is found in the New Testament, it is written that his vision was of another dimension, for: ‘By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed, and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God! (Hebrews 11:8-10) Tents are not permanent abodes, thus, his eyes and heart looked for his inheritance which has solid foundations! A house in Heaven; the heavenly country, destined as a home for all believers in Christ!

It is also through the preaching of the Gospel that God is raising out from this fallen, lost, sinful, corrupt mass of humanity, a new people of which Jesus Christ is the Redeemer, the Saviour, the Lord. Outside of the Bible there is nothing that says that God is three persons, a Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy-Spirit. We cannot hold, I mean that it is hard to hold, if not impossible, a discussion with those that do not believe that the ‘Bible’ is God’s book! Written by prophets, kings, simple folk, and finally by the disciples of Christ, men He mainly chose from the working class. The men that wrote the Old Testament and the New, were men anointed by the Holy Spirit! They often wrote things they could not fathom, but it is by what they wrote, that God chose to reveal Himself and His project for this planet, which future is only revealed in the Holy Scriptures! Better believe it! for the end will come suddenly, and all men shall know and see it!

Christians waste a precious time to prove to unbelievers, things they cannot understand or accept; not until the Holy-Spirit works on the heart, that man can grasp the elementary truth about God, Jesus Christ, and what the Holy Spirit teaches about Him. I urge the Christians not to fall in that trap and spend precious time, trying to convince or convert an unbeliever, it is better one lives normally the Christian life, at work, in the neighbourhood, and in various contacts they might have; living is a powerful witness, after that, he must wait till they ask questions, when, or if they do. If they do, one must try not to be a Bible-puncher, but share experiences, meanwhile it is advisable to pray for them, and who knows, by the grace of God, they may see the light.
