God as Creator
Because God is the creator of all things, he has authority over all things.
The creation shows God’s power and wisdom.
What is God Like?
"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” - A.W. Tozer
Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.
-A.W. Tozer
Theologians divide God’s attributes into two categories: Communicable and Incommunicable Attributes.
Incommunicable attributes of God are ones that are less shared with us, and communicable attributes are more shared with us.
-Wayne Grudem
Incommunicable Attributes:
Independence: God does not need us or the rest of creation for anything, yet we and the rest of creation can glorify him and bring him joy.
Eternity: God has no beginning, end or succession of moments in his own being, and he sees all time equally vividly, yet God sees events in time and acts in time.
(Cf.
, , , , )
Omnipresence: God does not have size or spatial dimensions and is present at every point of space with his whole being, yet God acts differently in different places.
(Cf.
; ; ; ; ;
Ps 139
Communicable Attributes
Holiness: God’s holiness is his inherent and absolute greatness, in which he is perfectly distinct above everything outside himself and is absolutely morally separate from sin. - John MacArthur
Goodness: All that God is and does is worthy of approval, and he is the final standard of goodness.
Luke
Love: God is freely and eternally giving of himself for the good of others.
