KNOWing GOD is The WAY to Eternal LIFE

"A high view of GOD leads to high and holy worship. A high view of GOD leads to transcendent living. A low view of GOD leads to trivial worship. A low view of GOD leads to common, mundane living. So, what you believe about Who GOD IS is really the rudder of the ship. It's the engine of the car and it's the steering wheel. Your whole life, whether you realize it or not, is being driven and directed by Who you believe GOD IS.

"The doctrine of GOD is the most important doctrine in the Bible, because your doctrine of GOD becomes the paradigm or the lens or the template through which you see everything else. What you believe about GOD affects your worldview and how you view history and how you view the culture and how you view society. It affects how you view politics. It affects how you view marriage. It affects everything. Your knowledge of GOD either blurs or brings sharply into focus how you see what you see. It is the knowledge of GOD that affects how you see trials, how you see persecution, how you see tribulation. It is all governed by the knowledge of GOD" (Steven Lawson -- "The Attributes of GOD" seminar).

The One TRUE Living TRIune GOD -- 'HE Who is THE Blessed and Only SOVEREIGN, The KING of those who reign as kings and The LORD of those who rule as lords, Who alone possesses IMmortality and dwells in UNapproachable LIGHT, whom no one has seen or can see. To HIM be Honor and Eternal DOMINION! Amen.' (1 Timothy 6:15-16)

"The Sovereignty of GOD is the towering, foundational TRUTH of ALL CHRISTian Theology -- that GOD IS -- and The GOD Who IS, is The GOD Who reigns over the entirety of HIS created order. HE has supreme authority in His right to exercise His Sovereignty -- His absolute, active, continual reign over the Heavens and the Earth and Hell itself. It is HIS undisputed right to govern ALL He has created" (Steven Lawson -- "The Sovereignty of GOD").

"GOD is preeminent in Power and Authority. GOD’s Sovereignty is a natural consequence of His Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. The fact that GOD is SOVEREIGN essentially means that HE has the Power, Wisdom, and Authority to do ANYthing He chooses within His Creation. GOD rules the Universe" (Got Questions).

'And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, Who was and Who is and Who is to come"' (Revelation 4:8).

"The one attribute of GOD that is raised to the superlative degree is the Holiness of GOD -- that HE is Holy-er than any of His works/creatures, HE is the Holy-est of ALL beings; that HE is elevated to the very highest level of Holiness. GOD Himself is perfectly HOLY... The angels are not crying out LOVE, LOVE, LOVE... nor TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH... nor WRATH, WRATH, WRATH -- but they are crying out day and night, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is The LORD GOD Almighty! EVERYthing about GOD IS HOLY" (Steven Lawson -- "The Holiness of GOD").

The LOVE of GOD is AGAPE-Love -- the highest expression of REAL Love. "It is a LOVE that is rooted deep within The ONE Who loves, that sacrificially gives to seek the highest GOOD in the one who is loved... who is unlovely... who is abhorrent to GOD because of their sin and their disobedience. GOD's LOVE is redeeming LOVE -- a Love SO great that He has given His ONLY Begotten SON to die for us upon Calvary's CROSS" (Steven Lawson -- "The Love of GOD").

'And may you have the Power to understand, as all GOD’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His LOVE is. May you experience the LOVE of CHRIST, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with ALL the fullness of Life and Power that comes from GOD.' (Ephesians 3:18-19)

The breadth and length and height and depth of the Love of GOD IN CHRIST "was proven when GOD sent His SON to die on the Cross for sinners. When CHRISTians look at GOD's LOVE, they see their FATHER Who cares for them, Who redeemed them through His SON, and made them HOLY by His SACRIFICE. ALL Believers should experience the Depth and Breadth of GOD’s LOVE for them IN CHRIST JESUS. This great TRUTH is an anchor for all in times of suffering and depression, and it is this TRUTH in which all CHRISTians can put their Hope and Trust" (Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones -- https://www.mljtrust.org/sermons-online/ephesians-3-18-19/breadth-length-depth-height/).

'And this is The WAY to have Eternal LIFE—to KNOW You, The ONLY TRUE GOD, and JESUS CHRIST, The ONE You sent to earth' (John 17:3).
