Gods Image
The Nature of God
The nature of God is often referred to as his attributes – why God’s Holy nature first – because it becomes the substance of our intended being. These attributes are often separated by those only he possesses. The many attributes / characteristics that are his alone are called incommunicable. (^).
Those attributes / characteristics that God does share with humankind are called communicable (*). Christian Theology teaches some of the tributes/characteristics of God as follows:
Holiness– God is perfectly pure, separated from moral defilement and sin.
The prophet Isaiah witnesses a vision of God seated on a high and exalted throne, surrounded by seraphim who called to one another:
-Isaiah 6:3 KJV Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!
This triple repetition, known as the Trisagion, underscores the completeness and intensity of God, highlighting His purity and perfection beyond human comprehension.
God’s Nature Is Love
Love- God is inherently Love. It is in him by nature. Love is who he is! It’s not a learned behavior.
-1 John 4:8-9a KJV “He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love In this was manifested the love of God toward us…
-John 3:16 KJV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.”
Omniscient– God is all knowing. God possesses perfect knowledge of all things of the past, present and future.
-Psalm 147:5 NIV Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
-1 John3:20 KJV For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and God knows everything.
-Psalm 139:1-4 KJV O lord, thou hast searched me and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thoughts afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
A far off -God fully understand our thoughts, feelings, actions and what is in our heart even before we express them or approach Him with it. God is intimately aware of every detail of our lives and is not hindered by the physical locality, or emotional distress we may be in.
God knows the smallest detail about your life and circumstances. He knows his creation in and out. God understand and cares about our daily routine. He knows what you will say before you speak)
Omnipotent – God is all powerful and able to perform His holy will.
-Psalm 19:1KJV “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handy work.
-Revelation 21:22 KJV The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
“Almighty” is the same idea as omnipotent and is used throughout Scripture.)
-Revelation 19:1-6 KJV And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: 3 And again they said, Alleluia and her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Omnipresent – God is everywhere at the same time, and He sees all
Jerimiah 23:23-24 KJV 23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? 24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
Psalm 139:7-10 KJV 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Acts 17:27-29 KJV 27 That they should seek the Lord, if happy they might feel after and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Immutable- All that God is, He has always been. Scripture refers to Gods unchanging nature, character, purposes, and promises. He is not fickle like humans. He does not change his mind. His plans and salvation remain constant despite human behavior.

Romans 9:20-21KJV20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Isaiah 46:9-10KJV “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure
Faithful– God is entirely trustworthy, He keeps His promises without fail. Gods’ faithfulness is described in the scriptures as unwavering, enduring, and protective of his character. His faithfulness is said to reach the clouds, extending to the hearts of man and is never failing.

Roman 3:4 KJV “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Creative – Gods creative power is generally known as his ability to create something from nothing. He possessed the ability to bring the universe and all life into existence from nothing - referred to creation ex nihilo. This referrers to the supernatural ability of God to create from nothing.
-Genesis 1:1-2 KJV “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
