Seek God

Written by Joyce C. Lock

Considerrepparttar following verses:

"Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaningrepparttar 126852 covenant of our fathers?," Ma. 2:10. "Seeing it is one God, which shall justifyrepparttar 126853 circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith," Ro. 3:30.

"But to us there is but one God,repparttar 126854 Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him," I Co. 8:6. "One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all," Ep. 4:6.

In all religions, can we not say they were at least once seeking truth? Jesus is truth, by whatever name we call Him. God is God, by whatever name we call Him. It is not for us to say who is saved and who is not; who worships correctly or who does not. Correct terminology is not a prerequisite for salvation. (God desires not yours but You. It is a matter ofrepparttar 126855 heart.) But, what is up to each of us is to seek God, who will guide us into all truth.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thourepparttar 126856 mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest notrepparttar 126857 beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull outrepparttar 126858 mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?" Mt. 7:1-4.

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist," Co. 1:16-17.

"Now there are diversities of gifts, butrepparttar 126859 same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, butrepparttar 126860 same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it isrepparttar 126861 same God which worketh all in all. Butrepparttar 126862 manifestation ofrepparttar 126863 Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given byrepparttar 126864 Spiritrepparttar 126865 word of wisdom; to anotherrepparttar 126866 word of knowledge byrepparttar 126867 same Spirit; To another faith byrepparttar 126868 same Spirit; to anotherrepparttar 126869 gifts of healing byrepparttar 126870 same Spirit; To anotherrepparttar 126871 working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to anotherrepparttar 126872 interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one andrepparttar 126873 selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For asrepparttar 126874 body is one, and hath many members, and allrepparttar 126875 members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Forrepparttar 126876 body is not one member, but many." I Co. 12:4-14.

"Forasmuch then as we arerepparttar 126877 offspring of God, we ought not to think thatrepparttar 126878 Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device," Ac. 17:29.

There is only one all knowing God. "One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all," Ep. 4:6.

But, before we can know what God believes, we have to ask Him.

"For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,

because we trust inrepparttar 126879 living God, who isrepparttar 126880 Saviour of all men,

specially of those that believe."

What Say Ye?

For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality.

As it is written, He that had gathered much (should have) nothing over; and he that had gathered little (should have) no lack. Providing for honest things, not only inrepparttar sight ofrepparttar 126851 Lord, but also inrepparttar 126852 sight of men. Wherefore shew ye to them, and beforerepparttar 126853 churches,repparttar 126854 proof of your love.

"Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, inrepparttar 126855 day when they were created," Ge. 5:2. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus," Ga. 3:28.
