What are some of the characteristics of Christianity which make it different from and superior to all other religions? It would be easy to list a number of ways in which Christianity is greater, but one distinction sets it apart from all others. OUR GOD SPEAKS. Our God has spoken and He still does. Have we lost the wonder of this tremendous truth? God chose to reveal Himself to mankind in several ways. He did not have to do it, but because He is the kind of God He is, He said, "I will reveal myself to man so that man can respond to me." How has He done it? How has He spoken? One way is in the world of nature. Creation clearly shows that a powerful and intelligent creator exists and He is behind all that we see. It speaks loudly and constantly. But in many ways, that is not enough. So God further revealed Himself in His Word, through the Bible, and in His Son, Jesus Christ. The imperfect light of creation calls for the perfect light of a Person. Christ came not only to die for us but to reveal the Father. He was able to say, "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." (John 14:9) Do you want to know what God is like? Study the remarkable life, the loving actions, the marvelous words of His Son, Jesus Christ, who also is God. You will see in Him the love of God, the grace of God, and the power of God. You will find the story of Christ's life in the written Word, the Bible. It is there for you to read for yourself. There is no substitute for the daily reading of God's Word. Yes, our God has spoken. What more can He do? Are we listening? He waits for our response. Has He heard from you today? |
