Our God, He is the Lord

 

“I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior.”

—Isaiah 43:11a

The religions of the world present many gods. In our post-modern, post-Christian culture, it is common for people to act as if all gods are the same.

Even some Christians and Jews do not seem to understand that our God, the God of the Jewish scriptures (The Christian Old Testament) and the God of the Christian New Testament, is a unique being. There is none like Him.

The god of Islam, Allah, is a false god. He is not the God of Judaism. He is not the triune God of Christianity. He is not the God of love who sent His only Son, Jesus, to die in our place on the cross.

God speaks through the Prophet Isaiah and declares who He is in Isaiah 43:11-13:

“I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you.

“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

Let us remember this day that God calls us to be witnesses of His mighty acts and also of His unquenchable love.
