One Way
Spiritual warfare is real. The corruption in the world does come from Satan and his angels. I will make another thread on that. Their main strategy is to 1. get you to view yourself as God or 2. Keep you in bondage to sin while accusing you in front of God. Both of these goals are accomplished by 1. getting you to doubt God's word and 2. Getting you to contradict God's Word. They can hear your thoughts, and when they get in you they can even think FOR you and make you think that YOU thought what THEY really thought.
Good thing for us, Jesus Christ really rose from the dead and when He died, He died for OUR sins. He never sinned so He did not have to die. He chose to for us. He did this so that we could escape both the corruption of this world and God's wrath. He is very merciful and He is NOT the author of confusion. If you are confused - God is not the one who confused you. He gives a Spirit of peace. People who do not receive a love for the Truth may be sent a delusion, though.
But this thread is about some of the most amazing things of what has been revealed about God.
Not only is God real, all knowing, all powerful, the Creator of everything, and our Salvation, but He IS LOVE. That is such an amazing revelation for someone who was born in a corrupted, fallen world, and separated from Him.
1 John 4:16
Love Comes from God
…15Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. GOD IS LOVE, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.
The Holy Spirit wrote the Scriptures. God literally IS Love.
1 John 4:9
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
God IS His Word. The Word was with God, the Word was God, and the Word became flesh in Christ so that we might be saved through Him and His mercy. The Father loves those who are predestined for election, those who will inherit salvation.
John 1
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
If you have never read a Gospel, the Gospel of John is probably the best place to start.
God Works In All Things
28And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 29For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.…
The Supremacy of the Son
…13But to which of the angels has He ever said, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET "? 14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
God's wisdom is contrary to the world's "wisdom"
1 Corinthians 1:21
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
A Call to Be Holy
…19but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 20For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you 21who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God
Spiritual Blessings
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,…
Want to know if you are going to be adopted by God? A good litmus test: Do you hate the things I am saying right now? Because if you do not, you are receiving mercy from God and you might escape the corruption of this world.
God is very merciful. A believer is ALWAYS in church. You do not have to go to church-buildings if you don't want to. In fact, only go if you want to.
Watch out for the Roman Catholic Church - they have been deceived. Christ is very merciful. We are saved by grace through faith. Watch out for the "word of faith" movement (kenneth copeland, joyce meyers etc). They are sorcerers, they are concerned with worldly things (mansions, private jets etc), they distort God's Word and tell people they are "Christ reincarnated." Exactly what Satan does - tell you that you can be God.
Trust in God and His Word alone. Do not trust in human institutions.
Remember- God is Love. God is merciful. God is forgiving. God is kind. God is patient. God is righteous. God is Holy.
An amazing thing to learn and grow in: God, the creator of EVERYTHING - the creator of time itself - IS LOVE! It is such an amazing thing to learn about when you have been born in a fallen and corrupted world.
There is only one Way:
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
5Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" 6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. 7"If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."…
Anyone who tells you that there are "different ways" to God has been deceived. This is popular among politicians (the sorcerer George Bush, for example). There is One Way to God, and God is not just a "higher power." He is Love, He is a person, He is life, He is salvation, He is light, and He is Truth.
Receive a love and yearning for the truth so that you may be saved!
And remember that God is merciful. Do not ever tell someone else that they are going to Hell. Hell is real, and God is very merciful. It is not something to be taken lightly. God hears our words. He always listens.

…35"The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. 36"But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. 37"For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Do Not Judge
37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned. 38"Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-- pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."…
God is Love! What a perfect God! I can't wait until we escape the corruption of this world.
Profane and Blasphemous Seducers
