What the
Bible says
About God
(Prepared
by Aaron Kember)
He is the only true God.
"And this is life
eternal, that they may know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
(John 17:3)
He created everything.
"God that made the
world and all things in it, seeing that he is Lord of
heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with
hands;"
(Acts 17:24)
He does not live in man
made dwelling places.
"God that made the
world and all things in it, seeing that he is Lord of
heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with
hands;"
(Acts 17:24)
He is light.
"This then is the
message which we have heard from him, and declare to
you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at
all."
(1 John 1:5)
He cannot lie.
"That by two
immutable things, in which it was impossible
for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation,
who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set
before us:"
(Hebrews 6:18)
He sees the wisdom of
this world as foolishness.
"Where is
the wise? where is the scribe? where is
the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish
the wisdom of this world?"
(1 Corinthians 1:20)
He is able to justify.
(i.e., clear a person of guilt)
"Who shall lay any
thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God
that justifieth."
(Romans 8:33)
He will judge the world
in righteousness.
"Because he hath
appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in
righteousness by that man whom he hath
ordained; of which he hath given assurance to
all men, in that he hath raised him from the
dead."
(Acts 17:31)
He commands all mankind
to repent.
"And the times of
this ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all
men every where to repent:"
(Acts 17:30)
He is no respector of
persons. (i.e., He is impartial)
"Then Peter opened
his mouth, and said, In truth I perceive that
God is no respecter of persons:"
(Acts 10:34)
He does not want us to
perish.
"The Lord is not
slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance."
(2 Peter 3:9)
He is rich in mercy.
"But God, who is
rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved
us,"
(Ephesians 2:4)
He cares.
"Casting all your
care upon him; for he careth for you."
(1 Peter 5:7)
He is love.
"And we have known
and believed the love that God hath to us. God is
love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,
and God in him."
(1 John 4:16)
He has shown his love by
sending His Son.
"In this was
revealed the love of God toward us, because that God
sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we
might live through him."
(1 John 4:9)
He has spoken to us
through His Son.
"Hath in these
last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds;"
(Hebrews 1:2)
