The Bible teaches that the attributes of God are, Holiness, Justice, Mercy and Righteousness.

HOLINESS: "And they did not rest day or night, saying Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, to come" Revelation4:8.

JUSTICE: "And there is no God besides me; a JUST God and savior; there is none beside me" Isaiah 45:21.

MERCIFUL: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant MERCY has begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" 1 Peter 1:3.

RIGHTEOUSNESS: "But now the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets" Romans 3:21.

Many make a mistake by judging God by what is going on in the world today. This earth and everything in it is under a curse. God cursed the earth when Adam sinned. The curse remains even until today. This earth, which is under the control of Satan, is designed to kill us. This is NOT our home. We are just passing through, so don't try to get to attached to it.

Cults and false religions do not teach that God is holy, just, merciful and righteous. They don't teach it because they don't believe it. They want to believe that God is an unjust, unmerciful tyrant that delights in sending people to hell. Catholics want to believe that God is the minister of sin. There is no Gospel in any of these religions.

The Gospel reveals the Holy, Just, Merciful and Righteous nature of God. Paul wrote, "But God demonstrated his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8. According to man's justice, Adam should have been resurrected and crucified for the sins of humanity. After all it was Adam that brought sin and death upon us, Romans 5:12. But God's ways are not our ways. Instead he sends his only begotten, sinless Son to atone for our sins and the sins of the world, 1 John 2:2.

God is Holy, Just, Merciful and Righteous because he keeps his promises. All of the promises that God made to Israel were fulfilled in Jesus Christ, Acts 2:39. God's words are true. He cannot lie. When God says something it is as good as gold, Hebrews 1:3. It is because God is Holy, Just, Merciful and Righteous that we can trust him completely.

It is the purpose of religion to subvert the Holy, Just, Merciful and righteous nature of God.

Calvinism tries to make God to be an unholy, unjust, unmerciful, unrighteous, tyrant that delights in sending people to hell.

The Catholic religion tries to make God to be a taskmaster that is ready to crack you on your back with his whip if you fail. Catholicism is the religion of you must, you must, you must and if you don't, you are anathema.

Only the Bible teachs that God is Holy, Just, Merciful and righteous.

You don't understand what the word grace means.

God has shown mercy and grace to the whole world, when he sent his Son Jesus Christ into the world to atone for the sins of the world.

"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16.

There is grace staring you right in your face.

To all who do nothing more than call on the name of the Lord shall be saved, Romans 10:13.

Christ died for all. Yet few will be saved because of the world's temptations.

That is why Jesus said, "Few there be that find it" Matthew 7:14. Everyone wants to go the broadway that leads to destruction.

We must persevere until the end.

No, he doesn't believe that because the Bible doesn't teach that Jesus believes for you.

You should come up with several scriptures that say Jesus believes for us.

If you can't come up with the scriptures then you should hang it up.

Jesus obeyed the Law for them He lived and died for, you think He did it without Faith? Faith ought to have been done in the Law Matt 23:23!

You can't come up with one scripture that says Jesus did not believe for them He lived and died for!

You are the one that is going to have to believe.

"He (YOU) that believes on him is not condemned: but he (YOU) that does not believe is condemned already" John 3:18.

You don't have the same Christ I do, my Christ He obeyed the Law for us, that means that He believed for us, for He could not have obeyed God for us being faithless!
