Why do I call Him God?
58
Just a few of my thoughts on the subject. I will add more later as they come.
I call Him God because He created everything seen and unseen.
I call Him God because His grace is sufficient for every man who will accept it.
I call Him God because He lived just as I live today.
He poured His spirit into the body of a man and walked as a man, feeling all of the infirmities of a man.
He left the habitation of heaven to live on the earth.
He was tempted just as we are all tempted and defeated the temptations.
He can identify with us, because he became one of us. This is why I call Him God.
He listens to me when I need to speak with Him. He hears me and answers according to His judgment which is righteous and true, for He knows all things.
He provides me with everything I need, and even more because He is rich beyond our imaginations. Everything in the heavens and in the earth belong to Him.
He cares for me so much that he took my sins upon His back.
He became sin, just so that I might have a chance to make it into heaven instead of hell.
I call Him God because he holds everything in His hands. He hung the earth on nothing and poured the stars out to where they now are.
Yes I call Him God because he is able to defeat anyone or anything that comes against me. Nothing can stand against Him.
I call Him God because there is none higher than He. No one can stand against Him and He defeats all my enemies for me. He protects all that are His.
He smooths the rough places and makes straight the crooked road.
He always judges righteously. He is always good and knows everything that is known.
Now I ask you, "Why do you call Him God?" Also check out Who Is Jesus by a friend of mine.

Maybe we should post in the forums about this? If you write a hub about it that would be great also. Let me know and I will link it to this hub.
Hi. Wanted to thank you for the comments on my hubs. Also, to encourage you to continue writing. Anything we do like this promotes the Lord and Salvation. So continue in your witness!
Very good hub SirDent. I too call HIm God, for all the reasons stated above, and because I believe He is who He say He is. Keep up the good work. God Bless.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I really appreciate the encouraging words I receive from all of you.
I call HIM God because whenever I called on His Name I am delivered from danger.Whenever the evil spirits are closing in I call on the name of JESUS, and I am delivered.Whenever I am in great danger I call on His Name, and found safety. Not only once, twice but more tan twenty times. I believe on th Power of the Name JESUS.
Thank you for posting this hub. Great hub.
Yes, He is God, the only God. He is all of the things mentioned. He is all-knowing, God is truth. He sustains us through all trials and tribulations to all the joys of life. God is the healer. No matter what, He is so marvelous and awesome. Just look around you. We can learn all of this just reading His inspired (God breathed) Word.
Thanks for the Hub. I love it!!
Thank you all for the encouraging comments. I appreciate every one of you very much.

There is so much I could add here to this hub. I will have to do that soon.
Wonderful truth about God. Wonderful poetry also.
Thank you SweetiePie for the wonderful comment.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this makes me feel so close to GOD. It really touches my heart.
Jesus is not son of GOD.he is a messenger of GOD.normally it was happent like this because messenger came to the world becase GOD want guide them to truth but after Messenger die they people are calling GOD.There is only one GOD...GOD is super power not like...weekness..sleep and eat..or do...think about yourself.God given sense to think not like Animal.
I don't mean to be facetious or didactic in any manner (okay, that was a bit facetious -- it's a quote from Woody Allen in "Broadway Danny Rose"), and I sincerely respect your sincerity. However, from the standpoint of simple logic, I don't understand what a statement like this means:
"I call Him God because He lived just as I live today."
Do you mean that you call him (Jesus, presumably) God because he lived...or because he lived as you live (whatever that means)?
If simply because he lived...well, one can say the same thing of a toadstool or an amoeba, or of any other living thing. Does that -- the mere fact that it lives -- make an amoeba God?
If because he lived like you, what do you mean by "like you"?
Do you mean that he lived as a human being? Well, again, one can say the same of 6.77 billion other bipeds on this planet. Do you therefore call them God too?
If, on the other hand, you mean he lived specifically like you do, I have to tell you that I doubt that very much. In the Roman province of Judaea there were no televisions, automobiles, vaccines, computers, or any of millions of other inventions that appeared long after Jesus departed this world; and the changes wrought on society by those technological developments have drastically altered the human experience of life on this planet.
And again, even if you were Jewish (which I assume you're not), it's highly likely that your modern Judaism would only remotely resemble the Judaism of Christ some 2000 years ago, before the destruction of the Temple.
Yes, in all those things that are essentially human (e.g., the emotional and spiritual components of humanity that seem to be the common inheritance of all humans, and that transcend cultural distinctions and social developments), your experience of life and his can be truly said to bear a common identity. But the imprecision of your simple statement doesn't make your meaning at all clear to me.
Like I said, I'm not trying to be a wise guy or to make fun of your piety. But I'd be less than honest if I said the apparent meaninglessness of some of your statements didn't bug me. (I chose to discuss just one; but many of your statements are likewise problematic to me.)
If you have an agenda beyond simply voicing what's on your mind and in your heart (for instance, an agenda to proselytize and claim converts to Christianity), I respectfully suggest that you think seriously about whether ill-expressed statements pertaining to Jesus Christ, statements of arguable validity, are likely to promote your agenda or detract from it.
Peace.
Mister G, do you think God to be logical? If so, where is the logic in Naaman dipping himself into the river Jordan 7 times to be healed of leprosy? Is it logical that mud made from dust and spit will heal a blind mad and give him sight which he never had before?
Many try and make the claim that Jesus didn't even exist, yet history tells them that He did. History shows the evidence because it is written. If you deny it, then I may as well deny that you posted a comment on this hub approximately 4 hours ago.
You try and twist my words around to make it what you want. Jesus lived as a man. He was flesh and blood just like I am. He battled the desires of the flesh just as I did except for one thing. He never sinned.
Do you really want to know the truth?
I denied your second comment because it was a personal attack on another person who commented.

I call Him God for all those reasons and more. I call Him God because He fulfills the prophecies of Messiah's coming. I call Him God because He raised the dead and was dead, yet lives. I call Him God because His coming was fortold from the beginning of history, because He is the Word that brought forth the universe. I call Him God because HE said HE was God....I am that I am...you believe in Abraham, believe also in me....I will post a hub on this for you if you care to read it....thanks for the inspiration! Debi
