What is God to You?

[Holly]

A few weeks ago, one of my friends asked me this question. And I wanted to hear what you think about this question.

Here is what God is to me. God is God and God is also love as He loves everyone. That is who God is to me. Check out God Is God by Steven Curtis Chapman and God Is Love by John Reuben with tobyMac to listen to two great songs that inspired me to know who God really is.

For me it's not a matter of what God or who God is to me, it's more a matter of what or who the bible says God is.
We can all come up with our interpretation of who God is, but only the bible can give you a 100% accurate description of who He is from Geneis to Revelation!!!

to me God is everything. with out him we are nothing! God sent his son Jesus to save us of our sins, he died for us. he loves us that much!

With all respect Holly, that is the wrong questions. It implies that God changes from person to person. Scripture makes it clear the God does not change who He is or what His purpose is. He wants us to be right with Him. This is why Christianity is not a religion, but rather a relationship. Though He can reach us and sustain us in an infinite number of ways, He is still totally in control, all powerful, all knowing, never resting in His love or care for us. I think we get fooled because of the fallen state that we live in. We make the mistake of seeing things through our perspective (I know I have at times). Grasping for God's view of things allows us to let go of our grip on life and live His intended purpose. There could be 2 questions that would better fit reality. #1 How has God worked through different circumstances to reach you? OR #2 How does God work through you to fulfill his purposes? I'm sure greater minds could come up with even better Qs, I just don't want to look at things through my sin-scarred eyes. Holy is better, don't you think?

My feeling is that OF COURSE the bible tells us who God is and who He wants to be in our lives. But He looks different in each of our lives. We are not all cookie cutter people, God did not intended us to be. Therefore He looks different in each of our lives. And He will continue to look different as our relationship with Him grows and we change to become more like Him. That is want is so awesome about Him! He loves us as we are and slowly (usually) we become more like Him because we want to. He is the ultimate example of who we should be striving to be.
