Thank you so much for your very kind reply. If Jesus was God but not beautiful i would not worship Him. I worship him because of His nature and not His position or authority. If i met a woman who was rich, powerful and Queen of the universe I would NOT be compelled to love her. But if she was merciful, full of grace, loved justice, loyal, and poor with no power at all like Ruth I would love her and be her kinsman redeemer as Boaz was. Ruth did not love Boaz because he was rich and powerful but because he was kind, merciful, loved justice and was a beautiful person. That is why the pillar of the temple is called Boaz. If Satan was God would we love him, I hope not because Satan is not beautiful. Lou

Lou, How wonderful that you serve our Lord Jesus Christ. I would just say that His mercy and justice (and so much more) are beautiful... because He is God!

Amen

Thanks for the article, Steve. It has brought me to a place where I see the glory, and the awesomeness of who God is and I too reply like Isaiah: "I'm a man of unclean lips". How thankful I am for the gift of salvation. A man of unclean lips as myself, redeemed through the blood of Christ!!! What joy have I experienced after reading this!!! We serve an awesome God!!! He is so worth us living for Him.

JESUS IS THE EVERLASTING FATHER

Dear friend I did not miss the point but you did. You need to read my post with more care. I NEVER said or implied in any way that The Lord Jesus Christ is not God Almighty. The title LORD says he is God. The Name Jesus says he is God. The title Christ says that Jesus is God. Isaiah 9:6 6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, [b] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.--
the child that God called Jesus is the Holy Spirit or WONDERFUL COUNSELOR. Jesus is THE EVERLASTING FATHER. Jesus is THE MIGHTY GOD. There is only ONE GOD and His name is The Lord Jesus Christ. --- I was saying that because Jesus is God is NOT the reason I worship Him. I worship the Lord Jesus because of who He is and not what He is. I worship Jesus because of the beauty of His nature. Lou

Thanks so much, Steve, for this wonderful article - Because He is God. You describe exactly who our God is and who we ought to be in His eyes. Many false teachers define God as a holy Santa Claus who wants us to have all the "toys" we think we need. They sadden me so much, and I often weep as I read their "junk mail." But your teaching is just plain Heavenly, and I thank you deeply that you share with us your close walk with our Lord. God bless you, Steve, and continue blessing us with your teachings till we meet together in Heaven.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.
Joh 14:7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. And from now on you know Him and have seen Him.
Joh 14:8 Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.
Joh 14:9 Jesus said to him, Have I been with you such a long time and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. And how do you say, Show us the Father?
please pay attention to verses 7 and 9 and remember the Zhema.

I almost never respond, but I had to for this article by Steve Camp.
Fantastic!
And what is man's reponse?
"Be Holy, Because I, the Lord your God, am Holy". Leviticus 19:2
If we could get over our self centerdness, this will free up room for God to work in us, to make us holy.
Blessings!

THE BEAUTY OF JESUS

Dear brother Steve, I do not disagree with you or look down in any way your motivation for serving God. All I can say it seem way different for me. I do not serve Him because he is God. I serve the Lord Jesus Christ because he is so lovely and beautiful in every way that I have come to know Him. The beauty of His mercy and justice COMPEL me to serve Him and no one else. Lou
