Personal god

The world was created by who? Science, God or its self? All these questions are asked everyday by people who do not want to believe there is a magnificent being up in heaven. I would not say I never thought exactly like the way these people think but because of my encounter with the God, I am able to believe there is a supreme being. According to the biblical view, God is the creator of all things here and is to come. The animals, tress, sunlight, darkness, and most importantly humans. (Genesis…

Human beings are intricately unique and deeply loved by God. Psalm 139:13-14 says “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well.” God has blessed me, personally, with strengths which define my meaning and purpose. These strengths are tools that I will use best when I follow God’s will for my life. My top five strengths are belief, input, achiever, responsibility, and restorative. As I continue to pursue God’s will, these strengths will…

Christianity’s definition of God. More than that actually. Most of my family’s life was spent in the Midwest. Ohio to be exact. While my parents and I were hopping around the whole United States on military standby, the rest of my family on my dad’s side was, has been, and always will be, a part of a very cult like denomination of Christian church. When we finally settled in Ohio, after my dad got released, we began regularly attending it. There I learned a very different God than I know today.…

God Gives Meaning To Life When I hear the word “religion”, God comes to my mind very quick. Many people find religion very controversial sometimes because they don’t believe in God or don’t want to hear about him. For many people and philosophers God gives no meaning to life and for others God does give meaning. Personally God gives a lot of meaning to my life and helps me with my daily life. For some people God is very important and others know about God but have no interest whatsoever. God…

whenever I am feeling as if I have no one to talk to. Whenever I hit those lows in my life, I can just sit down, and pray, knowing that he is there and a sense of closure. What makes you believe that Jesus is the real God? To be completely honest, I have no idea that Jesus is the real God. He is more of a figure to me than anything, but I know that there was something like Jesus who walked…

33 Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (Matt 6:33 nlt) I like the strange stories that pop up in the newspaper every now and then. I don 't want a steady diet of them, after all the news, and what is going on in the world is important. As a Christian its important for us to be informed on what is going on in the world. But lets face it, we can only take so much of the hard news before we begin to get overwhelmed…

perspectives that influence my personal belief that God has a plan for my life encompasses all people despite their diversity in ethnicity, culture, religion, or socioeconomic background. Two published articles and a blog found on the internet were used to support my personal belief because they convey similar experiences and validate similar beliefs that I share. Moreover, these sources provide a clear basis of my views on human life, success, and happiness and have shaped my personal value…

image of God, my first causal thought is a visual image of God the Father. I would picture that God is someone like a Moses or Noah type figure. I do not believe that God is human like in appearance but that is my initial thought. There are times I imagine God is like a cloud but this cloud covers the entire earth. It is as if my view of God is he must have eyes like us in order to know what is going on with everyone. I believe he is all knowing and all-powerful yet I still consider that God…

goodness of God during the last three months: Three months ago I was given the opportunity to teach English in Turkey. I was able to sell my car within a week, blessed with a buddy pass and was on my way. I stopped in Israel on my way to Turkey and it always amazes me the opportunities God gives us. On the shuttle ride I met an American…

I believe in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe that God is one divine nature with three divine persons. I believe that God created everything that surrounds us today and is the infinite starting force behind our universe. All of these statements have been made more true to me as this course comes to an end. I have always known God is real but, now I have the information form this course to know for sure. God exists and through learning many things in this course has change my…
