There Is Only One God

In some countries where people have not read the Bible and do not know very much about God, there are many people who think that there are several gods. Some of them think that there are two gods, some of them think that there are four gods and some of them think that there are even a hundred gods or more. In some places, people think that the sun is a god and that the moon is another god so they bow down and sometimes pray to the sun and ask it to take care of them and help them.

Can the sun or the moon help us? No, these do not have life, they are not persons who can help us. They are only things that God made to give us light, to keep us warm and for us to enjoy. They are not gods, but they are made by God. We should never pray to things that God has made but only to God Himself.

Should we pray to the angels? Are they gods? No, angels are alive, and there are some of them right there where we cannot see them, but we should not pray to them. The angels are not gods, but they are helpers for God and that is why God made them. The angels love God and there are so many of them that we cannot even think how many there are.

Most of them are in Heaven thanking and praising God and telling Him how glad they are to serve Him.
