what is god like? god has no limit.

What is God like? God has no limit. Because humans are made in God’s image, we resemble Him in many ways, except that we are limited but God is not. For instance, we have power, God is all-powerful. We have knowledge, God is allknowing. We are present in a place; God is all-present in all-places at all-times. In addition, God has all-control of allthings at all-times (we call this sovereignty).

What are some other unlimited characteristics of God that we share in a limited way? Discuss what this shows us about God. (examples if you can’t think of any: love, mercy, just, righteous).

matthew 10:29-31

Here we see God’s all-knowingness, and His complete control of all things (sovereignty). Jesus tells us that this is incredibly good news for us, because God cares for us. Share a story of a time where you were overwhelmed in the moment but afterwards you could see how God was in control the whole time.

Hands Feet Heart

Part of recognizing God’s sovereignty is to realize that we actually have far less control over circumstances than we often believe. However, we often struggle with circumstances where we feel we have no control. Discuss together: How do you usually react in these circumstances?

What are some things you have been worrying about that are outside of your control? Spend time this week (whenever you notice you are worrying) bringing these worries to God in prayer. (This is the same as last week, but it’s an important practice for followers of our all-loving sovereign God).

Being faithful to God means we intentionally, with our words, tell other people about God and how to follow Him. However, the Holy Spirit also uses the change He is working in our lives to encourage other Christians and to point those who don’t yet know Jesus to Him. This is because what we truly believe about God cannot help but shape how we live. Spend time this week praying that the Spirit would use your life as a witness to those around you even without your knowledge.
