REVELATION MAKES GOD ACCESSIBLE 2

Mankind is not able to go to God, but God is able to come to mankind

1.Man is in chain,

2.Every other religion in the world asks personal man (though in chain) to go to impersonal god, but in the Bible personal God comes to personal man in order to unchain him.

3.In other religions, gods wait for the lost man to find them, but in the Bible God searches for lost

REVELATION MAKES GOD ACCESSIBLE 1

Revelation makes God Accessible

God wants to dwell personally with his creatures. He wants to live not only among us but even within us at the very center of our existence

*The presence of God in the tabernacle and temple in the Old Testament

*In the New Testament Immanuel, 'God-with-us‘ and “us” as God’s Temples, both indicating to a more personal and intimate relationship

YAHWEH REVEALS HIMSELF

Yahweh reveals Himself, because He is personal, but all other gods are impersonal.

However, an impersonal god cannot create, save, be heard, and accordingly cannot have any messenger or scripture. 


In reality an impersonal god does not exist.

Yahweh is known and knowable, but all other gods are unknowable.

Yahweh is love, just and holy, and away from sin. 


But all other gods are the creators of sin and have partnership with sin.

Yahweh saves in this world, but all other gods do not reveal and therefore are not available to save.

Questions about the nature and attributes of God

Is God personal or impersonal?

God is personal in the Bible

Can an impersonal god reveal himself?

If not, how then we are able to know that he exists, talks and guides?

How can someone say that he is a messenger of an impersonal god?

If god is impersonal, then how can an impersonal god create?

Does the personal God reveal Himself?

Should the personal God reveal Himself?

Why?

Buddhist became a Christian 5

What's more, I discovered that what I had sought through the Buddhist path—wisdom, compassion, and lovingkindness—were found in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The supreme act of compassion was His sacrifice on the cross—that while we were still sinners, He died for us.

No human alive could ever demonstrate this kind of unselfish, unconditional love. 


No human can match God's divine mercy and lovingkindness, no matter how long we meditate or what books we've read. 


Yet we must try, for when we receive Christ, we become a new creation and begin the process of becoming Christ-like. 


The apostle John wrote. “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked” (1 John 2:6, NKJV).

If this kind of personal transformation is not enlightenment, I do not know what is. 


To me, having a personal relationship with God and the assurance of salvation brings true peace. And it's ours if we but ask for it!
