THERE IS NO OTHER GOD

Isaiah 45: 21-23 NLT 

….For there is no other God but me,

a righteous God and Savior. 

 There is none but me.

22 Let all the world look to me for salvation!

For I am God; there is no other.

23 I have sworn by my own name;

I have spoken the truth,

and I will never go back on my word:

Every knee will bend to me,

and every tongue will declare allegiance to me.”

Eight times throughout Isaiah 45, in the New Living Translation, God tells us there is no other God but Him. He really wants us to get the message! But we only need one God and I’m so thankful for that, aren’t you? 

No matter how many gods other religions may have, one day every knee will bow to the One and only true God, to Yahweh, to the name of Jesus, to the One who lives forever. 

Our God is so merciful in sending us a Saviour, a Redeemer who is our source of righteousness and strength. Jesus was the only One who made it possible for us to be put right in God’s sight so we can call Him Father. 

The awesomeness of what Jesus has done for us just hits you sometimes when you realise that without Him there would be no reconciliation, no righteousness, no strength, no hope, no joy, no peace no sense of belonging, of being his son or daughter for eternity. Indeed there would be no one to love us or watch over us and keep us safe in His hand.

But the wonder of it all is that we have all of that now, and in the life to come. Sometimes we forget how very blessed we are!😊

One day we will be part of the great cloud of witnesses who will gladly bow the knee with the angels in heaven, to give all our praise and thanks to our God, the only true and righteous God, who reigns forever - our Father. What peace and joy that brings. Hallelujah. Praise His name today. Amen.
