Consider A Few Attributes Of God
Getting To Know God
In Light Of Scripture
(Written by

How can an
understanding of God’s attributes help us to know God better?
I think of this one in relation to my marriage – I had
better make every effort to know my wife or there’s a price to pay. Thankfully
we are at a place where we often say the same things (together). I often mimic
her words and she does mine. So it is with my relationship with God – I must
seek to understand Him more and more to fully experience Him and His blessings.
And he encourages us to imitate Him. Thankfully, we can learn about His nature
through Scripture. We know that He is personal, indestructible,
self-sufficient, immortal and because of this I am so happy “Those who trust in
him do not trust in vain” (69).
It is essential that we know Him so we can
love, worship and confidently serve Him. Again, it is essential that we
understand our God so that we can be in alignment with His will
Just imagine serving a real God who is creator of everything
–
- Infinite
(unrestricted, unbounded with His attributes the same – unlimited love,
unlimited mercy, unlimited grace)
- Righteous
(Consistent and true to Himself – always faithful, so we can trust that He
will respond)
- Immutable
(unchanging in His essence and character – He acts, is acted upon and
reacts [79])
Many other attributes but you get the point… He is a living,
breathing, holy, sovereign and good God. This is the only God I wish to serve.
