God’s Attributes as to Moral Beings—2


Knowing God better is a wonderful thing. It strengthens and solidifies your relationship and draws you closer to Him.

August’s Awakening, Day 29

            Truth. God is truth and the source of all truth, in Him there are no lies, deceit, covertness, or error. There is total agreement and consistency with all that is represented by God Himself.

 

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 NIV    

 

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3 NIV   

 

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. John 17:17 NIV   

 

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 NIV

 

            Sovereignty. God is the only supreme ruler and authority, subject to none, and independent of any authority outside of Himself.

 

That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. Ephesians 1:19b–21 NIV  

 

“How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. 2 Samuel 7:22 NIV  

 

            Spirituality/Simplicity. As to spirituality, God is nonmaterial and is completely spirit in nature. As to simplicity, His spirit nature is unique, uncompounded, uncomplex, indivisible, not composed of any parts.

 

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 1:18; 4:24 NIV    

 

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17 NIV

 

which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:15–16 NIV 

 

            Is your understanding of God increasing? Are you aware and in awe of all that He is? Are you drawing closer unto Him? Embrace all that God is.
