"But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, with men this is impossible, but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE". Mathew 19:26
Many Christians who claim to know God, most often in times of trouble, trials and persecutions begin to wonder whether God really exists and whether H is with them or even looking at them.
Someone may ask" what is or Who is God?. Well, I also once asked the same questions despite being born and bred in a christian home.
In my quest to answer this question I found out that both the Hebrew and Greek words translated God in th bible all point to one meaning and thus " God is a self existent/ eternal being ,the creator,controller and supreme in authority above all things.
Now let's take time to explain the key words one after the other.
- Self Existent : Self- a persons personality / character that makes them different from other people. Existent- real or natural not imagined or invented. Hence SELF EXISTENT means to to be real or in existence without dependency on anything or anybody for survival or life. We can deduce from the above definition that God is a being that exists and depends on nobody nor anything for survival.
- Eternal Being: A being whose existence will never no an end.
- The controller : Someone who manages or directs. (Genesis 1-31)
- Supreme in Authority : Supreme- highest in rank or position. Authority - the power to give orders to people. (Exodus 3:14, Isaiah 3:1, Isaiah 44:6). hence supreme in authority means the highest in rank or position to give orders to people.
In conclusion, we can boldly say that God is a being whose existence is not dependent on anyone or anything, neither has He a beginning nor an end, He is the one who manages and controls everything and finally His authority is beyond or superior to every other authority whether of a prophet or a leader of a religion.
