The Importance of Having a Healthy View of God.

Experiencing God and being in relationship with Him does not necessarily mean our view of Him is accurate or healthy. Is the God we serve a God of punishment only or do we see Him as loving, kind, merciful, and just?  Oftentimes, when we don't understand what God is trying to accomplish and teach us, we say "God is punishing me."

Don't misunderstand what I'm saying, because God's wrath will come as swift judgment upon ungodliness.  My point is however, a proper view of Him will instead allow us to say, "Because God loves me and I belong to Him, I know that He wants the best for me.  If I am His child, then He will chastise me (prune, mold, shape, refine) so I can become more and more like Him."  His love for us will inclide correction, rebuking, and training.  God's attributes and characteristics indicate who He is and should shape our view of Him.

Join us Tuesday, March 28, 2017, at 3:30pm PDT, as we talk about a faulty vs. healthy view of God.  If we belong to Him, when we face hardship and suffer consequences, then assuredly we can say our heavenly Father is correcting us for our own good and not punishing us for harm.
