\"WHO IS GOD?\" asked an educated Oriental gentleman as he stood in the office of a Christian doctor.\"In my country the lower classes have images which they worship; whilst the educated people adore our great men. Here in America \'God\' is worshipped. Who is God?\"
The Christian to whom he was speaking replied, \"God is that Divine Being who created everything that you can see.\"
\"But how can you prove that?\" he asked.
To answer him, the doctor took his very expensive and complicated multi-dialed watch, and after showing it to him, asked, \"Who made that? \"
\"A man--and a very clever man, too,\" was the reply.
\"Just so, and therefore when I look up at the sparkling sky where all those great and beautiful globes keep more perfect time than the cleverest clock-work, I recognize and worship the One who made them all and keeps them in such perfect motion--the God of whom I read in the Bible.\"
Deeply interested, the gentleman desired to see a Bible. Opening a drawer in his desk, the Christian gave him one, showing him where to find the inspired account of creation.
He also showed him the records of how God, the Creator, sought to make Himself known intimately to the people He had created, and did Himself take a lowly form and walk upon His own earth, a Man amongst men. He lived and died in their sight, and by dying for their sins and rising again, He made a righteous way to save them, thus endearing Himself to them.
The gentleman took the Book with profound thanks, promising to read it.
There were three other patients waiting, and each in turn remarked upon the stately appearance of the stranger.
\"Yes, but what do you think he asked me?\" was the question I put to one after the other of these people who lived in the full light of Christianity. \"He asked me, \'Who is God?\' Now, what would you have answered him?\"
One replied, \"Well, that is a question that needs thinking over.\"
Another, \"l would have told him to read the Prayer Book.\"
The other, \"I would not have known what to say to him.\"
Dear reader, what would YOU have answered? Do you know God?
It is blessedly possible to be so settled in mind about this knowledge that you can live and die by it, and whatever else you have to part with, you need never lose the sense of Divine love in your heart. All knowledge compared to knowing God is utterly worthless. Through His precious Word we can have a clear, distinct and decided knowledge of Jesus Christ, who is \"God manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory\" (1 Timothy 3:16).
God has given us here a life-sized portrait of Himself. In Romans 3 He has given us a life-sized portrait of man and tells very simply how he can get out of his lost and ruined condition. Reader, give good heed to it and thus be saved from the hell that awaits all who \"neglect so great salvation.\"
Without the Bible, God\'s true and perfect revelation, we would be as blind as the heathen in regard to the Person and character of God. Won\'t you read God\'s Word, as this gentleman promised to do, and find God\'s will for your life?
\"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life... He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him\" (John 3:16,36).
