CRU Update – the nature of God

This week at CRU, we continued our ‘tough questions’ discussions, with Ms Domingo presenting to us on the nature of God. She reminded us that the Trinity is the Biblical concept which shows us the nature of God. While the Bible constantly reminds us that there is one God, we also read that God is the three-in-one God. The relationship between God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit, are all distinct but there is still one God. They have different roles yet serve the common purpose of God’s will. Ms Domingo also pointed to God’s relational nature and how we can know Him. This is such amazing news that God has revealed Himself to us and given us His son Jesus so we can be saved if we believe in Him!

Mr Craig also addressed the question of the reliability of the Bible. If we are people that want to read our Bibles, how is it that we can trust the Bible itself? Mr Craig pointed to the prophecies of the Old Testament that came true through Jesus hundreds of years later. He referred to the book of Isaiah which predicted the death of Jesus, 700 years before Jesus lived on Earth. In addition, there are numerous examples of non-Christian sources which point to the evidence within the Bible. Historians such as Josephus and Tacitus tell us of Jesus and his existence, as well as his death on the Cross. We can be encouraged that what is in the Bible is reliable and trustworthy.
