God is not a “what”. [i]Who[/i] is God?, is appropriate.
God is many things to many people. It depends on how they view Him....believers and unbelievers, alike. But regardless of name, age, race, or status in life, we all share these three things:
1. There’s no difference between believers and unbelievers. We all have sin and fall short of meeting God’s standard of perfection. HE is the one who sets the standard...not us. We need a plan, if we’re going to make it to heaven.
2. Sin separates us from God the Father. He is so Holy, He cannot look upon sin. Heaven would not be heaven, if there was sin in it. We need a Savior, to make things right with God again, and restore our fellowship with Him.
3. We need to believe that Jesus, the Son of God, being perfect and without sin, became the Mediator between God and man...that whoever comes to Jesus, asking for forgiveness of their sins, and invites Him into their heart and life to stay, and live according to His Word, shall be saved. Their sins shall be washed away, and they shall be called the children of God, inheriting eternal life in heaven.
