God’s Attributes as to Time and Space—2


A reverent awe and fear of the Lord brings one close to the throne room and the very presence of God.  

August’s Awakening, Day 26

            Immensity. God is not measurable in any way, limitless, with no bounds. He is nonspatial, being present at every point in space, but He is not part of space or limited to it. He transcends all space and time.

 

one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:6 NIV 

 

            Self-existence (Aseity). God exists in and of Himself, independent of anything else. He is an uncaused Being, He has no cause, He simply exists and is.

 

For from him and through him and for him are all things. Romans 11:36a NIV

 

In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Hebrews 2:10 NIV 

 

            Perfection. God is the epitome of absolute perfection in every way. He is an infinitely perfect Being. His perfection also means that every attribute is not only perfect, but each is in perfect balance and harmony, such that one attribute is not superior or more manifest than any other attribute. He is perfection and perfection in harmonious balance.

 

He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Deuteronomy 32:4 NIV

 

“As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. 2 Samuel 22:31 NIV

 

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48 NIV 

 

            Solitary. God is solitary, unique, and stands alone in all His excellence. Nothing can compare to God and nothing ever will. He is a solitary, one-of-a-kind Being.

 

Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? Exodus 15:11 NIV  

 

            Tomorrow we will finish the attributes of God as He pertains to time and space.
