Roma 11:33

Hoe sien jy God? Die antwoord op dié vraag vorm nie net jou geloof nie, maar jou persepsies van jouself, jou lewensbeskouings, jou doelwitte — jou hele lewe. Om ’n onakkurate siening van God te hê kan jou lewenslank laat worstel. Om indringend te kyk na die regte God — soos Hy begeer om gesien te word — is daarom ’n wyse skuif!

Deur die loop van die lewe ervaar almal van ons pyn, verwerping, onsekerheid, konflik en teleurstelling. Dit lei onvermydelik tot vrae oor die lewe en die doel van die lewe. Daar is ongelukkig nie voldoende antwoorde op alle vrae nie. God gee egter meer as voldoende antwoorde in die Skrif sodat ons sinvol en met vreugde kan lewe.

Considered one of the most theologically rich books of the New Testament, Romans is a treatise on the theology of salvation. Beginning with the hopelessness of our sin-filled state, Paul shows how God provides righteousness to His people through Jesus Christ. In Romans, we are reminded that justification does not come from status or moral achievement but from belief in the substitutionary death and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ.

What is God like? It’s a big question but an important one. What we understand about God will determine how we relate to Him. The more we know about God, the better our relationship will be. God reveals who He is throughout the Bible. Every name for God tells us something about Him. Reflect on God’s character for the next 21 days and see how your love for Him grows.
