This Is Our God
Occasionally it is beneficial for us to do a topical study in which we will examine one of the great doctrines of the Bible. For the next 3 weeks, I want us to scour the Bible to gain a proper doctrine of God.
God is not only the creator of all other things and therefore by necessity is unlike them but that all other things exist because He sustains them. All other things have a relationship of dependency on God. He, however is not dependent on them
All things in God remain exactly as they always are at every single moment in time. God does not grow old. God does not learn new truths. God does not become anything. God is the one eternal constanT.
None of us have ever been out of God’s immediate presence. Every action we have taken, every open and secret activity have been performed in God’s immediate presence even though we were not aware of it.
he image of God in battle is but one image of a God who is Almighty. That is no one can stop His power. Whatever He wants to accomplish He does. There never is one thing that God sets out to do that He is unable to do because of a lack of resources or a lack of power.
Unless love and grace are seen in the presence of infinite and fierce holiness we will only see love and grace as a kind of buddy relationship with a being who seems so much like ourselves.
“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish.” Once we understand that we are perishing because the wrath of God rests on the human race, we see clearly that salvation consists in being saved from God’s anger.
Titus 1:2 tells us that God cannot lie. He may withhold from us certain things He knows, such as the date of Christ’s return but He does not withhold the truth from us in an attempt to deceive.
