Main Characteristics Of God

Four basic attributes of God Almighty has emerged from the Holy Bible. They are Wisdom, Power, Justice and Love. These characteristics He gave to mankind which she had not been able to use appropraitely for her benefit. God exhibited His wisdom and power when He made the heavens and the earth. (Job 26:27; Prov. 3:19; Jer. 10:10-12; etc) He used His power to destroy the first world with the deluge of water and delivered Noah and his familly of seven. (Gen. 6,7,8; 2 Pet. 2:5) He also used His power to destroy Pharoah and his army in the Res Sea and saved the Israelites. (Exod. 14) God Almighty also exhibited His power when He stopped the mouths of the Lions when Daniel was thrown into thier den during the reign of King Dairus in the kingdom of the Medes and Persia. - Dan. 6.

Jehovah God exhibited the attribute of justice when Adam and Eve were sentenced to death for violating His commandments in the Garden of Eden. (Gen. 3:1-19) With His attribute of love He sent His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to this world to redeem man from the bondage of sin and its consequences including death. (John 3:16) It is written "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Rom 6:23.

In conclusion, the accurate knowledge of the person of God is vital for one to obtain salvation or eternal life. Jesus Christ in his prayer to his Father our God stated "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3) Therefore it is of utmost importance for a Christian to put His trust and confidence in no other god than Jehovah the ever Living God for peace, happiness and life. As it is written: "Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength."Isa 26:2-4.

The Form Of God The Father

For the reason that the Holy Bible says God is spirit, it is the belief of some people that God, the Father, JEHOVAH is a breeze, having no shape or form .This believe is erroneous. The essential proporties about a spirit is that it cannot be seen by the human eye and/or cannot be touched or handled. This does not give the impression that God is a breeze, having no shape or form. Indeed, he has shape andor form as a person or being. The Bible stated that “Because as He is, so are we in this world." Man was created in the image and likeness of God. Micaiah, the prophet: the Prophet Ezekiel and Stephen, the apostle saw the form or shape of God as a person. St. Paul told the Hebrews that Jesus Christ is the express (exact) image of God, the Father .Gen 1:26; 2 Chron.18:18 Psa 98:8-11; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Acts 7:55,56; Heb 1:1-3 and so on.
