What does the word, “God” mean? Generally the word refers to anything which is regarded as superior, or which is worshipped. However, the Bible teaches that there is only one true God, and that this God is the greatest Being in the universe. All things come from Him, all power belongs to Him and He is ruler over all.
Who is this God? Among Christians there are several different ideas about who He really is? In actual fact when we consider this carefully we will realize that there are several different Gods worshipped in Christendom, although only one of them is the true God. Many of us may be actually worshipping a false God, if our ideas of God are wrong. The question is, which God do you worship? Do you worship the true God of the Bible or do you worship a false idea of God? Let us remember that those who worship God must worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24.
The Bible teaches us that those who do not love the truth will be deceived and will believe a lie. Because they believe this lie they will be damned (condemned) and destroyed (2 Thess. 2:10-12). Jesus Himself said: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John 17:3). And yet, how can we know God if we do not even know who we are talking to when we call upon God?
