| Bible Study: God’s Love Your Life Style? |
By: Evangelist W.C. “Dub” Dellinger

God wants to love man to the fullest extent. The trouble is that man wants everything his way, and God says no. God says I will destroy man and start all over again, because it repenteth me that I have made him. Only one family in all the world God saw worth saving. The waters came and it was so. God gave man a new start, with three men this time. God chose one of the three for a special event to take place, not the oldest, not the youngest, the one in the middle “Shem”, to be a father of his chosen people. Soon they wanted to worship a god they could see. They did, and the True and Living God is set aside. Being the True God He is, He goes on loving them. Time is on God’s side. God did cut the life line. From 120 years to 70 years and if by strength a little more. Man does not have much time to make up his mind where he wants his soul to be at. The world drifts from God. They seem to have forgotten how he brought them out of Egypt as easy as floating on Eagle wings. God fed them bread and flesh that they did not have to work for, only gather. With all this man is stubborn in his ways and man’s ways are contrary, to what God expects out of him.
James, the Lord’s brother writes about the patience of Job. That is nothing to what man has put a true and loving God through. In all this, God still loves man because somewhere out there in the future, there is going to be an event to take place that can change not just a chosen few but the whole world. God will continue to let man be a free moral agent. When the time arises God will help man, but he must ask for help from the heart. No more fooling around, and God’s patience seems to be wearing thin again. When man does sin against his fellow beings and tries to give God the credit for it, or says I did it in the name of a living God, that is the height of wicked sin. According to history, there has to be a pay day around the corner. Man can never mix up God’s mind or truck God into doing as man wishes. While man has gotten God to changed his mind in he past. God always does the right thing and never too late. God always knows the end results before the beginning. He has worked it out for the best to fit his saints. Whatever the problem nothing is to hard that He did not know the answer even before it started, and God will use Righteous judgement in all cases. When God doesn’t step in He doesn’t see righteousness in man, and God will not cross over. He would not be a Holy God if He did. God is the only person in our Bible that is referred to as Reverend. Psalms 111:9 says: “He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name”. I have never understood why some use Reverend so fluently. And it is used only once in the whole bible.
