Dear
friend,
Everyone is
seeking to know the truth about God. That's why we see so many
religions with so many believers trying to please God through their
rituals/worship.
The true
God is very different from the ones that the religions portray. Many
people want to know how to find the differences between the true God
and the gods of the religions.
In the
course of time, I will show you what you need to know when seeking to
worship the true God.
First of
all, please note the following: If you ask a person what is God's
name, you would get different answers. A Jew would say 'Yahweh'. A
Christian would say 'Jehovah' or 'Jesus'. A Muslim would say 'Allah'.
A Hindu would say 'Shiva' or 'Vishnu' or 'Brahma' or some other
names. Other (ancient) religions had names for their chief God like
Jupiter/Zeus, Odin, Ra, etc.
The true
God doesn't really have a name! Our names are used as identifying
'labels'. Because there are so many men, each man has a separate name
to identify him from other men. Because there are so many women, each
woman has an individual name to identify her from other women. We
even give names to animals because we want to identify them from
other animals. We give names to places to identify them from other
places. We name houses/buildings to identify them, etc.
However,
since there is only one God, there is no need for a 'label' to
identify this individual God from other gods.
The true
God is immortal, eternal, incorruptible, omniscient, omnipotent,
omnipresent, invisible, infinite, etc. Let's take a look at some of
these attributes to enable us to know the truth about the one true
God.
May the
wisdom of the Divine One enable you to render true reverence to the
Living God.
His servant
