• Resumen

  • Have you inventoried your life lately?Have you ever been accused of being a Christian?Can they find enough evidence to convict you?Do you want a better relationship with GOD?When was the last time you told GOD you love Him?First of all, the fact of GOD’s existence is so conspicuous, both through creation and through man’s conscience, for this reason, the Bible calls the atheist a “fool”(Psalm 14:1).Next, the Bible never attempts to prove the existence of GOD; rather, it assumes His existence from the very beginning(Genesis 1:1).However, the Bible does reveal the nature, character, and work of GOD.Who is GOD? - The DefinitionNow, thinking correctly about GOD is of utmost importance because a false idea about GOD is idolatry. In Psalm 50:21, GOD reproves the wicked man with this accusation: “You thought I was altogether like you.”In the first place, a good summary definition of GOD is “the Supreme Being; the Creator and Ruler of all that is; the Self-existent One who is perfect in power, goodness, and wisdom.”Who is GOD? - His NatureHere, we know certain things to be true of GOD for one reason: in His mercy He has shown actions of superiority to reveal some of His qualities to us.GOD is spirit, by nature intangible (John 4:24).GOD is One, but He exists as three Persons—GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17).GOD is infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), incomparable (2 Samuel 7:22), and unchanging (Malachi 3:6).GOD exists everywhere (Psalm 139:7-12), knows everything (Psalm 147:5; Isaiah 40:28), and has all power and authority (Ephesians 1;Revelation 19:6).Who is GOD? - His CharacterSo, here are some of GOD’s characteristics as revealed in the Bible:GOD is just (Acts 17:31),Loving (Ephesians 2:4-5),Truthful (John 14:6),Holy (1 John 1:5).GOD shows compassion (2 Corinthians 1:3),Mercy (Romans 9:15),Grace (Romans 5:17).GOD judges sin (Psalm 5:5)GOD also offers forgiveness (Psalm 130:4).Who is GOD? - His WorkAdditionally, we cannot understand GOD apart from His works, because what GOD does flows from who He is.Also, here is an abbreviated list of GOD’s works, past, present, and future:GOD created the world (Genesis 1:1;Isaiah 42:5);He actively sustains the world (Colossians 1:17);He is executing His eternal plan (Ephesians 1:11) which involves the redemption of man from the curse of sin and death (Galatians 3:13-14);He draws people to Christ (John 6:44);He disciplines His children (Hebrews 12:6);And He will judge the world (Revelation 20:11-15).Who is GOD? - A Relationship with HimIn the Person of the Son, GOD became incarnate (John 1:14). The Son of GOD became the Son of Man and is therefore the “bridge” between GOD and man (John 14:6;1 Timothy 2:5).However, It is only through the Son that we can have forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:7), reconciliation with GOD (John 15:15; Romans 5:10), and eternal salvation (2 Timothy 2:10).Additionally, In Jesus Christ “all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form” (Colossians 2:9). So, to really know who GOD is, all we have to do is look at Jesus.GOD's Revelation about HimselfHowever, we can ask what GOD has revealed about Himself in His Word and in creation that “the reverent reason” can grasp.When Moses was directed by GOD to go to the Egyptian Pharaoh and demand the release of the Israelites, Moses asked GOD, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The GOD of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?” (Exodus 3:13).The answer GOD gave MosesAs a result, God's answer to Moses was simple, yet very revealing: “GOD said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM’; and He said, ‘Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you”’” (Exodus 3:14). The Hebrew text in verse 14 literally says, “I be that I be.”Furthermore, this name speaks to the fact that GOD is pure existence, or what some call pure actuality. Pure actuality is that which IS with no possibility to not exist. Put another way, many things can have existence (e.g., human beings, animals, plants), but only one thing can be existence. Other things have “being” but only God is Being.Finally, the fact that GOD alone is Being leads to at least five truths about what GOD is – what type of being GOD is.First of AllGOD alone is a self-existent being and the first cause of everything else that exists.Next, John 5:26 simply says, “The Father has life in Himself.”Then, Paul preached, “He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else” (Acts 17:25).SecondNevertheless, GOD is a necessary being. A necessary being is one whose nonexistence is impossible. Only GOD is a necessary being; all other things are contingent beings, meaning they could not exist. However, if GOD did not exist, then neither would anything else.Still, He alone is the necessary being by ...
