Who is God ? He is Knowable.
God, who created the universe in all of its magnitude and creative details, is able to be known, by us. He tells us about Himself, but even goes beyond that. He welcomes us into a relationship, so that we personally can get to know Him. Not only can we know about Him, we can know Him, intimately.
"Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches"...
"But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight", saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 9:23, 24
Who is God ? He is Approachable.
God invites us to talk to Him and engage Him in what concerns us. We don't have to get our act together first. Neither do we need to be polite, theologically correct or holy. It is His Nature to be loving and accepting when we go to Him.
"The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth".
Psalms 145:18
Who is God ? He is Creative.
Everything we make is put together with existing materials or built on previous thoughts. God has the capacity of speaking things into existence, not just galaxies and life forms, but solutions to today's problems. God is creative, for us. His power is something He wants us to be aware of and to rely on.
"Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite".
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth".
Psalms 147:5 and Psalms 121:1,2
Who is God ? He is Forgiving.
We sin. We tend to do things our way instead of God's way. And He sees it and knows it. God does not merely overlook such sin, but is prepared to judge and condemn people for their sin. However, God is forgiving and will forgive us from the moment we begin a relationship with Him. Jesus, the Son of God, paid for our sin with his death on a cross. He rose from the dead and offers us this forgiveness.
"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference"...
"Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God"...
Romans 3:22, 25
Who is God ? He is Honest.
Just like a person who lets you know their thoughts and feelings, God clearly tells us about Himself, the possible difference being, He is always honest. Everything He says about Himself, or about us, is reliable information. Truer than our feelings, thoughts, and perception, God is totally accurate and honest in what He says. Every promise He makes to us can be fully counted on, He means it. We can take Him at His word.
"The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple".
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path".
Psalms 119:130,105
Who is God ? He is Capable.
How would you like to be always 100% right, about everything? God is. His wisdom is unlimited. He understands all the elements of a situation, including the history and future events related to it. We do not have to update Him, counsel Him or persuade Him to do the right thing. He will, because He is capable and His motives are pure. If we trust Him, He will never make a mistake, never undercut us or deceive us. He can be fully trusted to do what is right, in all circumstances, at all times.
"Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause".
Psalms 25:3
