WHO IS GOD?

WHO IS GOD?

Monday, February 22, 2016

  Cousin Tonda dwells 1300 miles, 2091.7 kilometers from Omaha NE. Though we have never physically met, we are double-close family. Friday she entitled me as one of 3 participants in her seminary assignment due on February 28^th. “Who is God? Your answer could be short or long … on point or way off topic. My project is to simply record or write-down your answer.”

  First the short:

            God is Jehovah, absolute Sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all existed, existent, and ever shall be.

  Now my favored way of answering; from researched files:

            God is Creator. Gen.1:1; Isa.42:5; Jn.1:3-4; Col.1:16.

            God is Sustainer. Col.1:17; Heb.1:3.

            God implements and accomplishes His eternal plan. Eph.1:11.

            God alone truly redeems. Gal.3:13-14; 4:5; Eph.2:8-9.

            God draws all people to His Son. Jn.6:44.

            God disciplines His family. Pr.3:12; Heb.12:6.

            God will judge the world. Rev.20:11-15.

            God is apparent, observable in all things. Ps.14:1; Rom.1:20.

            God never attempts to prove His existence. Gen.1:1; Ex.3:14 “IAM that I AM”.

            God is not like man. Ps.50:21.

            God is spirit. Jn.4:24.

            God is One, but exists in 3 Persons. Mt.3:16-17; 28:19; Jn.14:16-17, 26 ;  2 Cor.13:14 ; 1 Jn.5:7-8 ; 1 Pet.1:2.

            God is infinite. 1Tim.1:17.

            God is incomparable. 2Sam.7:22.

            God is immutable. Mal.3:6; Heb.6:18.

            God is Omnipresent. Ps.139:6-16.

            God is Omniscient. Ps.147:5; Isa.40:28

            God is Omnipotent. Eph.1:22; Rev.19:6, 19.

            God is Logos, the Word. Jn.1:1.

            God became incarnate. Jn.1:14; Rom.8:3; Gal.4:4; Eph.2:5-9; Phil.2:6-8.

            God incarnate is the only true bridge. Jn.14:6; Col.2:9; 1Tim.2:5.

            God alone completely forgives. Ps.103:12; Eph.1:7.

            God is the absolute Reconciler. Jn.15:15; Rom.5:8, 10.

            God provides present eternal salvation. 2Tim.2:10 (Insufficient space for all. Available upon request.)

            God is just. Act.17:31; 1Pet.4:19.

            God is love. Eph.2:4-5; 1Jn.4:8, 16.

            God is truthful. Jn.14:6.

            God is holy. Ps.99:9; 1Jn.1:5.

            God is compassionate. 2Cor.1:3.

            God is mercy. Rom.9:15.

            God is grace. Rom.5:17.

            God judges sin. Ps.5:5.
