Some of God's Attributes Part 2

 

    God is eternal.  There has never been a time where He did not exist.  That is hard to fathom because people have a linear time line.  We all have starts and finishes.  It is hard to comprehend no beginning or no end, but it doesn't make it any less true.  He is not bound by time.  He can see the past, present, and future like real time.  He has perfect understanding of everything and everyone.  

    God being eternal is an attribute all His own (only shared with Jesus and the Holy Spirit).  He is the first and the last.  He is the only God.  He is the redeemer.  His power can not be conquered.  Nothing can stop Him once He decides.  God being eternal means you can trust what He says and does.

    Another attribute is that God is immutable.  He never changes.  His nature and purpose are steadfast.  You can rely on Him.  He never breaks a promise, so if you know God's Word, then you know what He will do.  He gave us the Bible to give us clarity.  It is impossible for God to lie because He is the source of hope. 

    You can find confidence in God in the Bible.  I will go in more detail tomorrow about Omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence, but for now I will say that they embrace His all encompassing power the best.  He knows you better than you know yourself.  

    He knows if you love, trust, or care about Him.  You don't have to convince Him.  You are only convincing or confirming it to yourself when you talk to God in that pleading or arguing manner.  Work it out in yourself and then walk in confidence with God.
