Lesson 2: Who Is God?
Once we accept the Bible, the next question is: Who is the God it reveals? Your understanding of God shapes your beliefs, your decisions, and your future.
Lesson Content
1. God Is the Eternal Creator
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). From everlasting to everlasting, You are God (Psalm 90:2). God is not created. He is eternal and sovereign.
2. God Is Holy
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts (Isaiah 6:3). When Isaiah saw God: Woe is me, for I am undone! (Isaiah 6:5). God's holiness exposes sin.
3. God Is Just and Merciful
The Lord God, merciful and gracious... yet by no means clearing the guilty (Exodus 34:6-7). God forgives. God judges. Both are true.
4. God Is Love
God is love (1 John 4:8). In this the love of God was manifested, that He sent His Son (1 John 4:9). God's love is not passive. It acts.
5. God Seeks a Relationship
This is eternal life, that they may know You (John 17:3). God does not remain distant. He calls you to know Him personally.
