Who Is God? by oneda(m): 4:04pm On Nov 03, 2014
This exposé is about God as revealed by the elders in Heaven on whom God is and His nature. I am yet to read a more comprehensive article on the nature and person of God. Read with me and let your soul be refreshed smiley smiley

1. There is but one living and true God i.e there is only one living and true God

His Attributes
2 The attributes of God are the qualities, elements and perfections which belong to Him. They belong to Him and are part of His divine nature not that His whole being consists of a combination of the same, but because they are the forms and expressions of His being which He has revealed to man.
3 These attributes are natural and moral. The natural attributes reveal His existence as an infinite and rational spirit; that is self-existence, freedom, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, wisdom. The moral attributes are holiness, righteousness, justice, goodness, love, grace, mercy and truth.

4 As known to man on earth, God is an invisible spirit, whom no man hath seen nor can see. He is eternal and self-existent. He creates beings with immortality, but God alone possesses eternity.
he is infinite, filling all space in the entire universe, embracing all worlds. He is omnipresent' i.e, infinite in power; shown by all his creations from the infinitely great to the infinitely small. All his acts are done by the exercise of His volition, and are seen by man in the universality, variety and multitude of His works. God's omnipotence is limited only by His moral perfections. God cannot lie nor do any bad act, although He has the power.

5. God is Omnipresent. The creator, upholder, and governor of all things. He is also omniscient, all things being open and naked before His eyes. God's wisdom is infinite, embracing all knowledge and is independent of all His creatures. WE can tell Him nothing which He does not know, but His intelligent , infinite, intuition

6. The foreknowledge of God is also absolute. How the foreknowledge of God is to be reconciled with man's free agency and moral accountability is indeed to men in the world a dark problem. These in the scriptures are clearly taught, and faith accepts what reason cannot reconcile. some of the churches on earth have denied man's moral freedom. Others maintain that God in the exercise of His omniscience, like His omnipotence abstains from knowing what his creatures will do under given circumstances. But the foreknowledge of God itself, unrevealed to men, does not impose nor even hint to men any course of conduct whatever; it in no degree affects His liberty of action. Man neither sins nor follow holiness, as the result of God's foreknowledge; so notwithstanding God's foreknowledge, He has made man in His image- a free moral being.

7. God is infinitely wise, always knows what is best, always adopts means which will best to accomplish His purposes. That is wisdom; for wisdom is the act of turning to best account our knowledge. Both in creation and providence God's wisdom is seen. His wisdom and His works everywhere confirm each other as being of God. No higher wisdom has ever been seen or known than God's wisdom in the plan of human redemption. It solves the problem of God's justice in justifying the believer in Jesus Christ
