Not Everyone Knows This

Joshua 15-17; 1 Corinthians 8 

“…there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. But not everyone knows this…”

1 Corinthians 8:6, 7

An essential question every person must answer is ‘who is God’? 

For many, that god is science, especially in the West. For others in the East, it is idols or a man-made merit system. 

A second question of essential importance is ‘what does God do’? 

Paul points to Jesus Christ and God the Father as one in creation, sustaining all things. This essential unity means that through the incarnation of Christ, we all were given a very clear view of who God is in Christ, and what he does. God not only creates, he redeems, he restores, he heals, delivers, and he brings new life. God loves us and desires that we reach out to know him personally through Christ so we can live through him. We live on mission with Jesus because not everyone knows this.

Do we know this?

Does our knowing the one true God and Lord change how we live our lives?

“Lord God, I pray for opportunities today to live your Gospel that others might know who you are and experience your love.”
