I have heard many make the statement, “I believe in God.” I have also been told by many, "We believe in the same god." As nice of a view as this may seem it is far from the truth. You may believe in a god but is he the same God I believe in?

Let me present a short list of questions for you to consider regarding your god and so to determine if we believe in the same GOD.

Did your God create this world?
Did your God create and breathe life into man?
Does your God condemn evil?
Did your God judge by flood?
Did your God deliver man from that flood?
Did your God create languages?
Did your God create a nation?
Does your God do miracles?
Did your God create moral law?
Did your God lead the Jews in the wilderness?
Did your God speak through prophets?
Did your God return a people to their land?
Did your God promise a savior centuries before he came?
Did your God send his son?
Did your God’s son come as a child born of a virgin?
Did your God sacrifice his son for your sin?
Did your God raise his son from the dead?
Did your God save man by grace alone?
Did your God make men new creations through faith?
Did your God create the church?
Did your God fill you with his spirit?
Did your God promise a new earth and a new heaven?
Did your God tell you He loves you?
And did your God inspire 40 different men to write 66 different books over a 1800 year span to reveal himself to you?

To make the claim, "I believe in God," actually tells me nothing. To make a general statement "We believe in the same God" cannot be true if your god did not do all that I listed above and more.

Now please understand that these questions are not presented to prove that my God is real, but to merely give a clear perspective of who my God is so that you may conclude whether we believe in the same God.
