Wanna know just WHO God is? He’s told us!! The above is virtually every definitive “God is” statement from the bible (NIV). There are also many verses containing “The Lord is…” or “He is…” The point is, he WANTS us to know who he is!!
Feel free to suggest any others you know of that you don’t see here, including book/chap/verse for reference. Praise him, for God is worthy!
ps… notably absent from the bible are -
God is wrath
God is intolerant
God is vengeful
God is very demanding and hard to please
God is capricious
God is easy going
God is forgetful
God is absent minded
God is fickle
God is hot tempered
...among others! |

Good one Linda, thanks! Rom 2:11
NIV - "For God does not show favoritism."
KJV - "For there is no respect of persons with God."
NASB - "For there is no partiality with God."
Meaning we all have an equal opportunity to know God and walk with him, from the richest of us to the poorest! (Calvinism aside for the moment) |

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie...
and thanks ;) |
|
|

|
|
|
| Num 23:19 - good one LaT! Phrased as a negative instead of the positive pattern (Monk strikes again!) but worthy of our list. In fact, I might edit the blog.... |

Good comment Dee Dee. Maybe the next list should be the "I AM" list! (Todd would appreciate that too!)
Oh Joey!
Becky, I found 697 instances of "love" in the NIV (763 in the NLT/paraphrase), 683 in the ESV, 494 in the NKJV, 484 in the NASB, and 442 in the KJV. (Why so many fewer in the KJV? Did they use a different word for love back in the days of merry olde England???) By comparison, "wrath" shows up 190 times in the NIV and 197 in the KJV. Well, I guess it's comforting that God isn't getting any angrier! |

Thanks Liz. Boy we get an interesting and endearing picture of who God is when we look at it this way.
Doyle, thanks bro! Sadly I did not find "God is a dancer" :-( (Though that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy watching us do it!!)
Thanks Margie- Yes, I am too! |

Thanks for the God-honoring post. There's a line in the novel, The Shack, in which God says, "I am a verb. I am who I am. I will be who I will be." |

Amen GrammyB -- and the list of wonderful attributes gets even longer when considering the "Lord is" and "He is" statements as well! Glad to be praising him with you, Elizabeth! Thanks Carol (or Mike) - I'll be referring back to this too. |

Thanks Deb! This has been more than a reminder to me, but also a path to greater closeness w/God...a way to meditate on God's character. I love taking the focus off me and putting it on Him!
Joey, you're crazy! (and very endearing) |

I printed it off and am now using this list to better understand who He is & praise Him in prayer time ~ God bless.

| MMM... about that forgetfull thingy, after we ask for forgiveness, doesn't he forget our sins? |
|
|
| September 03, 2008 |
|
|
|
| lol... Patti, honestly what I had in mind was, God does not forget his promises. But...since you mentioned it, I know God says he will "remember their sins no more." (Jer 31:34, Isa 43:25) But we can't honestly believe that God, who is all knowing, will somehow forget they happened. I believe (and I think most commentators agree) the general thought is that he will never bring them up again as a basis for judgment or wrath. They are as good as forgotten. Does this sound fair? :-) |

|
| ps... Great comment Patti. I adore that about our Father, that when he forgives he really forgives! |
