For instructions refer to the paragraph below taken from first study. The difference is that the code for the second study - "God: What is He Like?", is designated with the word "God." "1 God" refers to the first text which is Psalm 90:2. "2 God - Daniel 2:20-21" refers to the second text and so forth. The purpose of this series of presentations, is to teach church members how to use their Bibles to give Bible studies in individual, family, or small group settings. In the flyleaf of their Bible, each one is to write, "1 - Believe the Scriptures - 1 Scr - Amos 3:7." "Scr" is the code for the title of the study. "1 Scr - Amos 3:7" indicates the first text in the study. "2 Scr" indicates the second text in the study and so forth. "Believe the Scriptures," is the first study in a series of Bible studies covering 32 areas of Biblical knowledge and truth. Amos 3:7 is the first scripture in this study. When the member turns to Amos 3:7, he or she will write in the margin next to Amos 3:7, "2 - Scr - 2 Peter 1:21," which is the second text in the study. The margin beside each subsequent text should indicate the number and code for the next text in this study, just like the example given. In the margin beside the last text in this study should be annotated "Scr - End." The member can then give a Bible study in a small group with confidence using only their Bible and a perhaps some notes, while at the same timing teach the method to those who in the study. That way, those who are just learning the truths of Scripture, can immediately share the same truths with their family and friends.

2 - God: What is He Like?

Introduction: There are so many different ideas about God, but what is He really like?

God is eternal, all powerful and all knowing

Where did God come from, if He is God?

Psalms 90:2 “Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”

In the margin. next to Psalm 90:2, write “2 God - Daniel 2:20-21” This will tell you where to go next.

God is eternal from everlasting to everlasting. There never was a time that He wasn’t in control.

Daniel 2:20-21 “Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:”

In the margin next to Daniel 2:20-21, write “3 God - Isaiah 45:21.” This will tell you where to go next.

God’s ability to reveal the future proves His Divine nature.

Isaiah 45:21 “Tell ye, and bring them near; Yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? Have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; A just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.”

Psalms 33:6 “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.”

Psalms 33:9 “For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.”

Psalms 24:1 “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.”

Psalms 19:1-2 “The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night sheweth knowledge.”

Exodus 34:6-7 “And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.”

Jeremiah 31:3 “The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: Therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

Psalms 103:10-14 “He hath not dealt with us after our sins; Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, So great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.”

Isaiah 41:10 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: Be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

Isaiah 49:15-16 “Can a woman forget her sucking child, That she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, Yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; Thy walls are continually before me.”

Hebrews 13:5 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
