Christianity is about God reaching out his hand in friendship to mankind. Christians believe that the whole world and everything in it was created by God. God is a personal being, a living God who is three, yet one: Father, Son and Spirit, just as we human beings have body, mind and soul! (see the Trinity). The Bible says God created people in his image, to love him. Yet every person has rebelled against God and sinned. Yet instead of turning his back on us, God became a man, Jesus, who most scholars believe was born about the year 4 BC and lived among us. He taught a message of love throughout Palestine but public opinion turned against him and he was executed as a young man. He died because of us - the death that we should have died. He was crucified on a cross, but he rose from the dead, and now calls us to trust him, to love him and to repent of our rebellion. If we do this, then we our relationship with God becomes restored and we will live forever with God. Many non-Christians may think that being a Christian is about belonging to a particular church or following a certain set of rule. Most Christians however would agree that at its root, being a Christian means to be in a living relationship with Jesus.

God is the central being of all existence. He is eternal in that he has no beginning and no end. In the first chapter of the first book of Bible an account is given of God creating the universe and the earth and creating people in his own image. The Bible also reveals that God is full of mercy and love (for example 1 John 4:8. Millions of people in the world trust in God as their master and Lord and also their saviour. He is a personal being, who is three in one - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God stands ready to come into any person's life when that person acknowledges him and repents of having not lived his way. Character of God Although the mere existence of God can be deduced by natural reason his nature is beyond our understanding. He gives life to all and he is the author of love and forgiveness. John 1:4 describes this beautifully: In him was life, and the life was the light of men. Loving God One cannot describe God without first understanding His love for the humanity! For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 If you truly believe in your heart, declare through your mouth and actions that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, you will receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord so you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven! GOD LOVES YOU! God Of Wonders! Holy God God is completely holy and without any evil. At the same time God is forgiving and merciful and full of love.

Then in chapter 25 Bildad gives his third discourse, and in chapter 26 Job sarcastically dismisses Bildad's arguments and describes God's greatness. In chapter 27 Job tries to vindicate himself by contrasting himself with wicked people. In this last speech he grows more confident in protesting his innocence, for he says, "...till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.". Each time Job speaks he denies the accusations that he is secretly a sinner. He knows his own heart and tells his accusers that they have cruelly misjudged him. Job trusted God but he felt that God had abandoned him. Not once did Job deny God or curse God. If he had done so, then his friends would have known Job was being punished for unbelief. But Job had faith. So great was his faith that he knew God would vindicate him in the resurrection in the next life, if not in this life. However, Job did feel that God should tell him what He was doing and His purpose in it. There is a lesson here for all Christians. The ways of God are above and beyond the mind of mortal man. And even when we do not understand, we can still worship and trust Him. Are you in circumstances that seem bewildering to you? Then do as Job did and trust God. Has He failed you even once in the past? Of course not! Nor will He fail you now. You might not understand the reason for your trial, but remember that it is perfectly understandable to the Lord, for He sees all things. "He looketh to the ends of the earth," Job says. The eyes of the Lord are in every place. He has never removed His gaze from you. II Chronicles 16:9 tells us, "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him." The most wonderful realization of it all is that, not only does God see us and understand fully why we are in certain circumstances, but He can help us in those circumstances! Job says that God is able "To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.".
