Q&A with Pastor Jon: What Is God Like? (Part 2) - 3/23/22

“The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear mental apprehension of His perfections as revealed in Holy Scripture. An unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor worshipped.” A. W. PINK

God is a Consuming Fire

Heb. 12:29

• A warning against idolatry Deut 4:23-25

• Wrath and Judgment

• Holiness and Power

• His judgment in relation to His Holiness…THIS IS KEY

God is Omnipotent

Gen. 17:1, Jer. 32:17, Is. 43:13, Amos 9:2-3, Rom. 8:28

• Perfect power

• Perfect control

• Power and control over everything Matt 6:26-30

God is Omniscient

Ps. 139:1-6, Rom. 11:33-36

• God knows everything

• God knows the details of life

• Present and Future

• His knowledge and His authority…He is the ultimate judge

The omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence of God. (The Gospel Coalition)

Truths to consider:

What we believe about God will be demonstrated by the way we live our life.

• How we handle circumstances, adversity, & day to day trials.

• How we handle and cultivate relationships inside and outside the body of Christ.

What we believe about God will be demonstrated by the way the Church…

• Reaches out with the Gospel

• Disciples and encourages within the body

• Assembles for worship

Our life should point people to the greatness of God. We must point people to the God of the Bible.
