There Is One God

"One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."  Ephesians 4:6.  The writers of the Bible affirm that there is but one God.  The world has, and will continue to have, many gods.  Idolatry has been a problem which has afflicted humanity since the beginning of time.  The God whom Christians serve is our Father.  God is the Father of all who will seek Him and desire to know Him.  His Fatherhood is without boundaries.  All creatures can know Him.  God cares and nurtures His children.  He listens to our problems.  He attends unto our needs.  God, the Father, guards and protects.  God is a Father of love.  Mercy flows from His throne.  God is greater than all.  He has the power to do what no other can do.  The gods which are enthroned by men cannot deliver, nor can they preserve.  They cannot comfort the human heart.  Material gods leave a void in the human soul.  The creation announces Him.  The universe declares Him.  His children are the greatest work of His glory.  Through His redemptive act, His mercy and grace is manifested throughout all the earth.  God lives and abides with all those who know Him as Father.  The reality of His being is witnessed by those who call Him Father.  There is but one God.  Glory, glory.
