The Nature Of God
Wednesday 15th January
Text: Psalm 90: 1 – 2
Key Verse: Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Hebrews 11: 3
Here we know something about God. He is the Lord, the Master, the Ruler of Heaven and Earth, the Master of creation, the final authority in creation, the Lord Almighty. God is the Creator. To know God in the true sense, we must accept His self-revelation as contained in the scripture; otherwise, we will continue to fumble in darkness. The following need to be borne in mind while we seek to know our God in His full nature.
The Bible gives us four basic descriptions of the nature of God; God is Spirit: John 4: 24. God is a spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. God is not quantifiable and He is intangible. A spirit does not have flesh or bones. That is why God is spoken of as being invisible. Yet He is a real Person with self- consciousness, self-determination, with will and intellect. God is Light: 1 John 1: 5. This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. He dwells in an unapproachable light; He is absolutely pure, impossible to be defiled, 1Timothy 6: 14-16. God is Love: 1 John 4: 7-8. Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Love refers to the very Heart of God’s Nature. His love is expressed in His grace, mercy, kindness, goodness and compassion towards all His creatures, even those who hate Him. Matthew 5: 44-45.
God is a Consuming Fire: Hebrew 12: 29: For our God is a Consuming Fire. God’s holiness and absolute righteousness is manifested in judgment against sin.

Song For The Day: You are God from beginning to the end; there is no place for argument…
