WHO IS GOD? PART 1

by Medrick Mwale

 

A simple definition of God is "the supreme being, creator deity and principal object of faith and love. God is usually perceived as being omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (all-present), one who is perfect in power, goodness and wisdom as well as one who is self-existent; as discussed in my blog-post ‘who created the creator’- to see this post click ………

God is said to be outside nature (transcendence) and as being in nature (immanent). Furthermore, some religions describe God without reference to gender. 

The Reality

The realism of God’s existence is so noticeable, both through creation and through man’s conscience, so much so that the Bible calls the atheist a “fool” Psalms 14:1. Consequently, the Bible at no time does it try to prove the existence of God; but it assumes His existence from the very beginning Genesis 1:1. What the sixty-six good love letter disclose to us is the nature, character, and work of God.

 

His Nature

Having defined who God is and revealing the realism of God’s existence its important to bring into light the nature of God. First of all, it’s important to understand what nature is. In a more straightforward terms nature is the basic or inherent features or qualities of something. God has revealed his qualities to us and we can find this in his words. I would love backup this with bible reverences for us to grasp the true nature of God.

• To start with God is spirit (John 4:24). This simply means that by nature God is intangible. 

• God is one. According to Matthew 3:16-17, we read that God exists as three persons (Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit). Read also 1 Corinthians 8:6

• Unchanging- the Bible records that God is unchangeable, is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. Read Malachi 3:6.

• Infinite- God is infinite in nature; this simply means is limitless and impossible to measure or calculate, he is eternal and immortal.  Read 1 Timothy 1:17

• Incomparable -this means that God is unique, without an equal in quality or extent. He is matchless. Isaiah 40:12-31

• Omnipresent- God exists everywhere. Read Psalms 139:7-12

• Omniscient- God is all knowing. He knows everything. Psalm 139

• Omnipotent- God has all power and authority. Revelation 19:6
