His Nature
The Ten Facets of God's Nature
The Nature of God - What is God like?
God is Sovereign
The sovereignty of God is He is the absolute, unquestionable ruler of everything.
There are a myriad of spiritual entities with differing roles and levels of power that he has created. He rules them all. Every intelligent entity that God created, whether they are Spirit beings or Human beings, they have been given free will. They may choose to rebel against the will and word of the most high God, but they will face His correction as a result of their disobedience!
God is Holy
The holiness of God means he is set apart. He is completely separate from sin. He is different from all others. The primary nature of God's holiness is that He is completely set apart from sin.
God is Eternal
The eternality of God means He never had a beginning and He will never have an ending. He has always been. He was not born. He was not created. He has always existed just as he is now. It is difficult for us with our finite human minds to comprehend this, but it is true.
God is Just
The justice of God means He is absolutely fair. The Sovereign God has a law and it requires absolute justice. Because God is love and God is just, divine justice is never cruel, but rather a necessary protection of goodness.
Justice refers to God's actions, righteousness refers to God's character.
God is Merciful
The mercy of God means God possesses a profound, active compassion that moves Him to withhold deserved punishment and instead offer forgiveness, healing, and relief to His creation. mercy is not a passive feeling, but a powerful action driven by God's love.
God is Righteous
The righteousness of God means God is the absolute definition of moral perfection, integrity, and goodness. He is completely free from any moral flaw, deception, or wrongdoing.
God is Love
The love of God means God is concerned for the welfare of others. The greatest expression of God's love was in the cross of Jesus Christ.
Since God is Love, He wants what is best for you.
God is Omniscient
God is omniscient; He has all Knowledge.
God knows everything. There is not anything that can be known that God is not know. There is no limit to his absolute knowledge.
Since God knows everything, He knows what is best for you.
God is Omnipresent
God is Omnipresent, He is in All Places
God is everywhere. There is no place wher He is not.
Since God is everywhere, He is never far from you.
God is Omnipotent
God is Omnipotent, He has All Power.
God is all-powerful. There is nothing that He cannot do.
Since God has absolute, infinite Power, He can do what is best for you.
Our Faith is built upon our Confidence in the Nature of God
The better we know God the better we can trust him. Maybe you were reared as I was, being taught to not trust strangers. We cannot trust someone that we do not know.
Rom. 10:8-17
[8] But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
[12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
[14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
[15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
[16] But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
[17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Add them up and see what they equal!
Since God is Love, He Wants what is best for me, + Since God knows everything, He knows what is best for me + Since God has all power, He can do what is best for me = God always does what is best for me!
You can trust God with your life, your soul and your Eternal destiny! Commit your life to the Lord Jesus Christ today!
