Character Of God Part1

Character Character Of God Of God

All righteous attributes of character dwell in God as a perfect and harmonious whole.

In Christ we behold the image of the invisible God.

I and my Father are one. He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father.

We see the true Divine Character in the light of the Cross:

mercy, tenderness and forgiveness blended with fairness and justice.

Thus we comprehend the significance of that adorable title - our Father.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

1 John 4:9

The attributes of God were made known through Christ’s:

incarnation suffering and crucifixion resurrection and ascension

Great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

1 Timothy 3:16

Who (Jesus) being the brightness of His (God’s) glory, and the express image of His person,

and upholding all things by the word of His power.

God's Son came into the world to reveal, as far as could be endured by human sight, His personality and the attributes of His character.

The Scriptures clearly indicate the relation between God and Christ.

They show the personality and individuality of each.

Therefore, all who are capable of discerning spiritual things pronounce Jesus - the Son of God.

God has revealed Himself in His Son.

Christ came in the likeness of sinful flesh, clothing His Divinity with humanity,

in order that He might bring before the world the perfection of God in His own character.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John

God is love

This is the great truth which Christ declares to our world.

The appostle calls upon the world to behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.

1 John 3:1.

The law of love is the foundation of God's government.

Therefore, He has granted freedom of will to everybody.

He endowed humans with capacity to appreciate His character.

Furthermore, with ability to love Him, and to choose His service.

Scriptures gives knowledge and understanding of the character of God and His government.

God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
