Who is God

I have received questions lately from those who don't know God.  I want to give a simple explanation about God.
God is the creator of everything from the sun and moon to man and woman. Who is man to God? Why does he care anything about us?  God is all-powerful, all-knowing, loving, righteous, holy and eternal.  His home is in Heaven and he created all the world, man, woman, stars, sun and moon. He hates sin and anything corrupt, such as: hate, liars, thieves, murderers, all evil, which is sin.  He wants everyone to love him because he created everyone.  To go to Heaven and live with him, we must turn from sin and accept his son, Jesus Christ.  If we deny him and his son, we will not go to Heaven.  It is that simple.  Accept Jesus, turn from sin and you can see God, when you die.

Poem: The City of Gold

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,

what God has in store for us.

He has given us a glimpse in his word,

of his creation of the City of Gold.

We have no need of the sun,

for God is the light of the city.

Tears gone for our sorrows are done,

Happiness with Jesus, our Lord.

The City has twelve Gates.

Sparkling and made of pearls.

The City of Gold awaits,

Full of singing, laughter and joy.

No fighting, cursing, sin or strife,

Beauty unimaginable is there.

Clear as crystal is the river of life,

proceeding out of the throne of God.

Twelve types of fruit are on a tree,

from the Garden of Eden, The tree of life.

Sin has no hold, we are set free,

Peace with God our Father up above.

Each foundation is made of Precious stones,

for the City has twelve foundations.

There is a mansions that each person owns,

God has given to us liberally and freely.

Up there a beautiful place it will be,

Prepared and adorned by God for us.

All Christians will hear and see,

Well done, good and faithful servant.

The Lord's Servant

We marched those streets, day by day,

searching for the brokenhearted,

not for recognition or pay.

Winning the lost was our goal.

We gave up our time and energy, with no rest,

away from family and friends.

Trying to succeed in God’s work and no less,

happiness beyond belief.

Someone has cancer in our town,

Death has occurred to another.

Sorrow filled our faces with a frown,

Compassion filled our hearts.

Devoting our time for others,

Praying souls would be saved.

Crying over the denial of others,

Seeking the Lord to come at last.

In Heaven, happiness filled our hearts,

Finally graduation was upon our class.

For Jesus called his bride home.

All was at ease, at last. 

The Other Side

This earth is where I reside,
but Heaven will be where I abide.
I am passing through to the other side.
Teaching others and being their guide,
Saints will enter Heaven when they’ve died,
If they are loving and repent when they have lied.
On our journey, Jesus will be one day be by our side,
Heaven will rejoice and the gates will be opened wide.
Love unending, joy fulfilling, peace indwelling, teary eyed.
Jesus will be standing there and we will always be at his side.
No more pain, sorrow or hurt, no more boasting, no more pride.
The Lord will gather the church, and usher it forth as a chosen bride.
