God Viewed As Exclusive Property Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Many people
seem to believe
that God is

the exclusive property

of only
their religion
their denomination

their exclusive property.

But is this true?

How do we test
this mindset
discrimination?


“And God loved the world so much
that he gave his only-begotten Son,
in order that everyone exercising
faith in him might not be destroyed
but have everlasting life.” John 3: 16

God’s Word is the exclusive authority.
God belongs to “everyone exercising
faith in him”. But for what purpose?


What is the reason, the purpose of God?

“And he proceeded to say to them: “To
You the sacred secret of the kingdom of
God as been given, but to those outside
all things occur in illustrations” Mark 4: 11

“Adonai made everything for its purpose, even
the wicked for the day of disaster” Proverbs 16: 4


But God works in mysterious ways,
therefore who can know his purpose?

Now “we now that God causes everything
to work together (cooperate) for the good
of those who love God and (who) are called
in accordance with his purpose” Romans 8: 28


But what is God’s sacred
secret to be administered?

“This plan, kept hidden for ages by God,
the Creator of everything, is for the rulers
and authorities in heaven to learn, through
the existence of the Messianic Community,
how many-sided God’s wisdom is.” Ephesians 3: 9-11


But who is God’s chosen to
administer over heaven and earth?

“This accords with God’s age-old purpose,
accomplished in the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.” Ephesians 3: 12


But how did God decide the purpose, “made known through
the congregation the greatly diversified wisdom of God”? Ephesians 3: 10

This was decided “according to the eternal purpose that he
formed in connection with the Christ, Jesus our Lord”. Ephesians 3: 12
