Escaping the Wrath of God

(GB Message)

Every person born in this world is given a last chance of escape from the terrible wrath of God.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of man, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness…” Rom 1: 18.
Also note the following verse carefully: Truly, these times of ignorance God over looked), but now (since of the birth of Lord Jesus, Son of God) commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world unrighteousness by the MAN (Lord Jesus, because He is God incarnation born in this world) whom He has ordained, Acts 17: 30 (NKJV, Emphasis mine).

God Almighty of the Bible

This article contains my humble submission as to why I have chosen to worship the God Almighty of the Bible. This is also in accordance with the verse in Peter’s epistle that requires my preparedness to give a defense to everyone who reads this article to find out about the reason for the hope that is me.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear (1 Pet 3:15)

Besides, this is a witness, humble though, to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of God, glorifying the Name of the One who offered Himself as an atoning sacrifice for all those who pray for salvation with genuine repentance.

Hallowed be Thy Name Part 2

(GB Message)

This is the second and concluding part of this study. In the first part we saw the following:

• The meaning of the word ‘Hallowed’ (Hagiazo, Hagiamos)
• God alone is holy by nature
• God’s people fail Him time and again, profaning His name

In this part, let us look at some more thoughts related to the prayer, “Hallowed be Thy name.”

Heaven is for Sanctified People
God is teaching His chosen people, to prepare them to be heavenly citizens, and this is going to happen sooner or later according to His will. Most of us who are progressing in the spiritual life have learned that God is applying His filter in various stages to salvage the genuine from the worthless. Still His aim is not to condemn but to teach and prepare a holy people. Not all submit themselves to God’s will. Instead they attempt to make God adjust to their attitudes. As they progress on their spiritual pilgrimage, they find that God’s teachings narrow down and become sharper and more concentrated. That is the implication of the narrow way (gate).

Sanctification is a spiritual stage of purification. Without sanctification, no one can hope to please God.

Hallowed be Thy Name Part 1

(GB Message)

The title of this write-up is taken from the adoration aspect of the of Lord’s Prayer. The word for ‘Hallowed’ in Greek is ‘hagiazo’, which in common use means ‘to make clean’. However, in the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ it is used in a very special sense with reference to His holiness. Of all God’s innumerable attributes, let us now endeavor to understand this attribute—His holiness, in order to glorify His name better.

The Greek word ‘hagiazo’ (verb) and its noun form ‘hagiamos’ both express the holiness of God very specially. It can be taken to mean, ‘You only Lord, can possess that attribute, that extraordinary and special holiness, and none else; therefore, we say, “hallowed be Thy name.”’
