The God of the Bible is not one shrouded in mystery, but one Who is revealed to us in detail. As we study the detail, we see so much about His love toward us, imperfect that we may be, and how He has a plan for each and every one of us. Romans 1:18-32 reminds…
When God created us, He created us with an innate desire to worship. God’s desire for our worship is not hidden, as it is clearly called out in the Bible. John 4:21-26 reminds us of our need to worship our Creator in Spirit and in Truth in a manner that is according to His Word.
