God is Creator.
God is set apart, everything that exists, has existed or will exist, physical or spiritual does so because God imagined it and spoke it into being (Genesis 1:1).
God is Eternal.
When Moses asked God for his name, he replied, Yahweh or ‘I Am’ (Exodus 3:14). He is the source of all life and relies on nothing to sustain him. He had no beginning, Nobody made him, he simply is, always was, and will always be with no beginning or end.
God is Spirit.
Jesus says that God is spirit (John 4:24) and those who worship him must worship in “spirit and truth.” In other words, he’s not physical. He’s not material. He does not have a body. He is invisible. He’s spirit.
God is Holy.
In Him, there is no trace of evil, he is pure, without fault. Sin cannot exist in his presence. He cannot lie, he is righteous and just. God cannot make wrong decisions, he is blameless, timeless and sinless. He is good (Exodus 34:6).
God is Trinity.
From all eternity, God has existed as one God in three persons. Father, Son and Spirit, living together in perfect unity and love. They are not three gods but one perfectly loving God. This is why John can write “God is love.” (1 John 4:8). Love has been surging from all eternity in the fellowship of the three persons of the one God.
God is Personal.
God is not impersonal. He’s not a substance, a mere force or an influence. God is a person who has revealed himself as one who thinks (Isaiah 55:8), loves (Jeremiah 31:3), rejoices (Zephaniah 3:17) and experiences anger (Numbers 11:10), pain (John 11:35) and compassion (Hosea 11:8). This is why human beings are unique in the world because he made us in his image (Genesis 1:27). God desires to have a personal relationship with his people. As Father, Spirit, and Son, God lacks nothing but delights to bring us into his family, where we can know him.
God became Man.
God is not only holy, but he is also love and his love overflows so that his creation, men and women can know him, love him, enjoy him, and be with him forever. The love that God enjoys as Father, Son and Spirit, is one that he wants to share with us. To do this, God the Father sent God the Son by the power of God the Spirit into his creation to be born as the God-man, Jesus (John 1:14). Jesus is the eternal word of God, God the Son, who has always existed and has always been God, but now through the Spirit he has been “made flesh” in Jesus Christ.
God is Rescuer.
The New Testament puts it like this: “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Whoever believes, whoever trusts, whoever receives, Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. Jesus will become their substitute, bearing God’s punishment for our sins upon himself, giving us in return eternal joy in fellowship with God. This is the very essence to what Christians call the Gospel.
