Who is God IV

We have covered a lot of ground in the previous portions of this series, and some of the items have been quite hard to take. But there is always something beautiful about God that makes understanding Him very easy.

We have stated that He is very far above us, that He has the power to run millions of earths if He so chose to, that our actions do not derail or affect His being, and that His power is limitless. It would do us good to respect God for who He is and not what we make Him to be. But what is nice about Him being so large is that His attributes towards us are just as large.

He is indeed far above us, and we are indeed His creation. But there is one thing that constrains Him. There is one thing that holds Him. That thing is the Bible. His Word is magnified above His name. It, and It alone shows us God's true character; and His true character towards us is love. Romans 5:8; Psalm 117; Psalm 136; John 5:13; John 3:16 all speak of His limitless love for us. He proved it by creating us, He proved it by giving to us His image, He proved it to us by dying for us, and more importantly, He proved it by resurrecting Himself for us so that we all could be a part of that resurrection.

God's Word is the beginning and end of our faith. Without it, we are nothing. Without it, we are lost. Without it, we are void of understanding. It is our wisdom and our strength. And we wonder why people fight so vigorously over it. That does indeed make me laugh when people say that those debates are useless. Whatever side you are on, you should want the correct Bible. It is what should be guiding you through life.

So the series ends here with this. God is all powerful, all knowing, and is so far above us that we are unable to understand it; but more importantly to us, He is love. 1st John 4:8. God is love. That is the final answer to our question. Who is God? He is love to us.
