Big ‘G’ or Little ‘g’?

“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."

Isaiah 43:11-12

“...and apart from me there is no savior.”

That doesn’t leave a lot of room for other’s saviors, does it?

It’s that big “G” and little “g” thing.

We make many gods in our lives but there is only room for one God!

The Old Testament revealed the God who was the One true God.

Jesus came in the New Testament and reinforced what was declared in the Old.

Some people today like to say that that is rather harsh and not inclusive.

But disagreeing with the Truth does not make it any less the Truth.

God doesn’t offer us multiple ways to Him.

He offered His Son as the one true, final and acceptable path back to fellowship with the Father.

And it is an open invitation to ‘whosoever will’!

You like inclusiveness?

There it is, the invitation is to everyone.

But it must be accepted as presented.

Imagine receiving an invitation to a party from someone and then deciding that you didn’t like the location so you just showed up in another place.

Think you might be partying alone?

God invites us into fellowship with Him but then we want to set the terms of the invitation.

Maybe it’s time to read what the invitation says again...

“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."
