THE SEVEN FOLD DNA of GOD

THE SEVEN FOLD DNA of GOD

 

Our scientific world after many years of research, agree that every human on our planet has a separate and unique DNA. In other words we are all different and unique, and were created this way by our Creator God. According to (Ex 34:5-7) God Himself declared to His friend Moses His self revealed character, which we can call His DNA, so Moses could record it as part of God's Word the Bible. It consists of seven parts 1/ Compassion

2/ Grace 3/ Slow to anger 4/ Mercy 5/ Truth 6/ Faithful 7/ Forgiving, this is the way God wants us to see Him. Unfortunately because of our concept of a father based on our own earthly fathers, it has been very difficult for most people to accept God as our Father. God is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and Jesus and the Father are declared as being One and the same in several scripture passages. For example (Heb 1:1-3) and in (Col 2:9) where we read "For in Him [Jesus] dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily".

Because we know more about Jesus from the scriptures, and can see in the four gospel accounts his actions toward people, it just seems easier to receive Him as a loving Lord and Savior than the Father who is Spirit and invisible. And the Father is easy to malign because He doesn't defend Himself. As a result He is often blamed for things that are simply called "Acts of God", especially by insurance companies who don't want to pay for damages for certain claims.

 

So definitely the Father has received a "bad rap" by society as a whole because they are ignorant of what the Bible says about Him. And this is partly because those of us to claim to be followers of Jesus have not done a very good job of representing Him to the "fallen world" around us. We really have no excuse because the scriptures make it clear what we should do to show people what a life of following Jesus should look like. There are various reasons we can offer for not being a better witness for Jesus but none of them are valid. We read in (Acts 1:8) that when the Holy Spirit comes upon us He will give us the power to "be" witnesses to Jesus starting in our home town and working out from there to the whole world. We have been told we need to "do" witnessing in various ways, but this verse tells us that out very life should BE a witness if we are walking in the Spirit as Paul tells us in (Gal 5:13-21). Here Paul explains clearly the problem often is that we are walking in the "flesh" and not the "Spirit". And God always leaves the choice up to us, he never forces us to make choices!!
