JEREMIAH 16:20
"Can people make their own gods? Yes, but these are not real gods at all!"
Believer's know that Jesus Christ is the Lord God. They know that Jesus is the only true God. We also know that there is but one God and He is the only one who can Save us and give us new and eternal life. That being said, what does everyone else believe? Who is their God? People can make their own gods, but they are not real gods at all. None of their gods can save them and give them eternal life! Many have worshiped worthless idols. What a foolish heritage they leave.
The fact that man could make a god is preposterous on its face. If a man can make god then it is not god at all. Therefore any idol of stone or wood or any other earthly material by definition can not be a true god. The earth itself or the sun, moon or stars or even the universe can not be god because they can not make a man. Animals of any type, such as monkeys or cows or any other creature can not be a god because they were made by God and they can not make anything! The most popular false god of today is man himself. Humanism is when men think they are god and absolute. Men can not make themselves or save themselves, nor do they have absolute power, in fact they can not even make dirt!
Do you think you can make a god for yourself? Do you think that you can make a star or moon or universe? Do you think that you or a collection of men can bring something out of nothing? Do you think that you have the power to save yourself from death? Can you name any man who has risen from the dead and exists at this moment. Only if you believe in Jesus Christ. You are so vulnerable and mortal that you can not do anything in or of yourself. One day you will die and when you do you will be judged by the Living God, Jesus Christ and you will bend your knee and bow to Him and you will confess with your tongue that He is God! You can not MAKE YOUR OWN GOD!
