Some Attributes of God Part 4

 

    An attribute of God is love.  This love is not the love of the world.  His love is pure, true, faithful, and powerful.  He loves unconditionally, but that does not mean that He will allow us to act any way that we want without consequences.  His love is not based on beauty, perfection, or merit.  It is based on you being His creation.  He chose you.  True love is action.  

    God loves people so much that He sacrificed His only son to the world.  He allowed humanity be itself and in return humanity killed His son.  It doesn't end there.  God could have destroyed the world, but instead He brought His son back so that He became the way to salvation.  God's love brings Him to where we are, so that we can have a relationship with Him.  

    Another attribute of God is truth.  He is the only true God.  He is the only living God.  He is the truth and the way to the truth is Jesus.  His truth redeems people from their sins.  His truth comes in love and is eternal.  It is above all who claim their truth.  His truth reveals lies as it shines light into the world.  It pushes His judgments to prevail.  

    The final attribute of this series is God's mercy.  God's mercy is a practical expression of His compassionate character.  He shows compassion to those that oppose, rebel, and reject Him.  However, on the final judgment it is their choices that will land them in eternity with Satan and his demons.  

    God's mercy is seen in how He is slow to anger.  His mercy is revealed in His faithful love, graciousness, and compassion.  God is true and just to everyone.  He offers salvation to anyone who wants it.  If you accept salvation, then He removes all your iniquities.  He forgives you and forgets your sins when you ask with a repentant heart.

    God's attributes counter the way the world does things.  His ways contrast with the ways of Satan.  He offers salvation when Satan offers death and torment.  It is our choice in whom we follow.  That means our outcome is also our choice.  God has made it clear what is required.  Satan makes things confusing.  Follow the path to clarity and you will find the truth, love, and all the things you need.
