God is Steadfast!

How do you know if God is steadfast? It is from the bible.

Bible is God’s inspired words for human kind. Bible divided into 2 parts: Old Testament (the creation of the world till 400 years before the birth of Jesus Christ) and New Testament (the birth (1st coming) of Jesus Christ till Revelation (of end of the world – 2nd coming of Jesus Christ)).


Some people said that in Old Testament books, God seems to be very strict because it contains the wrath and punishment of God. In another word God (Jesus Christ) in New Testament seems to be kind & loving God.

I chose to agree with it before I studied the book of Exodus (2nd book of OT). During BSF, we were asked about the characters of God for each lesson we learnt. Marvelously there are long lists on the characters of God (Awesome, Mighty, Holy, Powerful, Majesty, Glorious, Loving, Caring, Compassion, Provider, Helpful, Just, Understanding, Greatest, Patient, Merciful, Encourager, Saviour, Forgiveness, Slow to anger, Faithful, Redeemer, Promise keeper, Thoughtful, All knowing, Fast sighted, Detailed, Great Planner, Provider, Provident Sovereign, Unconditional Love, In Control, etc).Now I choose to believe God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

I was very amazed on how detailed the Moral law (Ten Commandment), Civil Law and Ceremonial Law. God’s Civil Law can be applied to ages and cultures today. For example: Exodus 23:8 "Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous."

Let’s find out more about God from the bible! Happy reading and be blessed!
