Great things of God

God is great and does great things!

 

Wattog here, this time blogging about some really great things about God!  Again, I’ve been digging, that’s what us geologists do you know, and I have discovered that God is great, not only because He created all things, but for many more reasons.  Way too many for this blog to list, but there will be a list!

In the beginning God created all things, both great and small.

God sent a great flood to destroy all but 8 souls on earth, remember?

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Genesis 7:19

God made a great nation  of  people. 

God told Abraham. . .

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2

We that believe in Christ, are also made a great nation of people. . .we too, are known as, God’s people.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1 Peter 2:9

When God’s people were being oppressed, God brought upon Pharoah great plagues/judgments.

But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. Exodus 7:4 

At the end of this age, God will bring great judgment upon another great city.

. . .Babylon the great is fallen. . . .Revelation 18:2

Some think this Babylon is referring to this world’s system which is based on the ‘almighty dollar’, but God is mightier!

I don’t know about you, but it seems clear to me that there is a definite thread of ‘judgment pronounced upon evil’ throughout the Holy Bible.

Even though we mortals sin great, God is greater than our great sin and He made great atonement for us back then and today.

Moses

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. Exodus 32:30

Jesus Christ

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8

 

 

Here is this blog’s list.  It is a list of some of the reasons God is great and some of the great things God does for those that believe He is great, but certainly not all of the things.  As always, please read the entire Scriptures noted and also the entirety of the text surrounding the Scriptures to get the full meaning.

Excerpt from Heir series book, An Heir Wears. . .

We are like fishes swimming in a vast sea.  Within the sea there is the good net and there is the evil net, we want our souls to be caught or found in the good net and then bring along with us as many men as we can.  The truth about God’s great love for man is that good net, everything contrary to truth about His love is well, an evil net. 

I know there are people in this world that do not believe like I do, they do not believe in the God I believe in, and some of these people do good things.  The world knows how to do good things, that is not the problem, the problem is they think the good things they do is what makes them good, whereas a Christian sees any good they do is done because God is good and all knowledge of good comes from Creator God.  Also many things the world judges as good, is not really good. 

Christ taught that only one is good...God is good. 

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. Luke 18:19

God is holy....God is purely good.  We are made holy only by our faith in Christ.
