Who is God?

I am going to write on a very important subject, and I will be posting several articles of the same nature. These articles will hopefully assist us in understanding who God is instead of who we think He is. This of course is all based on Scripture. If you wish to venture outside of it, I cannot help you.

As the title asks, who is God? I would love to see some answers to this one, but odds are, you’re browsing through and don't intend on leaving any comments; thus, I will answer it for you.

Some would say, "He is the I Am of the Bible." Others would say, "He just is." Then come the torrent of descriptions. He is wonderful, powerful, awesome, etc. All these are true, but none of them matter if He is not what He is first.

He is the creator. First and foremost, He is the all mighty shaper of the universe. It does not matter who or what He is unless we have been created, and that is why creation is so important to us as believers. We try to blend it with science, but it does not work. God molded this universe with His hands. Nothing else helped or was a part.

The Bible says that it was 24 hour days that He used to create, and when He rested, He wasn't tired, but He rested His creative abilities. These things define our faith because if they did not happen, God is a liar and our faith is in vain. When we weaken or buckle on this subject, we hurt every part of our faith because without God the creator, nothing else matters
