The fact that God exists without beginning or end is the biggest challenge believers face. When we attempt to grasp God's majesty and vastness, it’s as if we’re metaphorically trying to grasp a raging ocean. The Heavenly Father is always in controland always infinite.
Malachi 3:6 says,“For I the Lord do not change.”God doesn’t change — He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His attributes are the same from before the beginning of time into eternity.
Despite our limited physical abilities, human beings have incredibly high needs. God, however, has never once been in need of anything. The only reason we have self-sufficiency is because of God:“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God” (2 Corinthians 3:5).
Psalm 90:12 says, “So teach us to number our days so that we may get a heart of wisdom.” People who are truly wise combine skill and competence with their heart, soul, and mind. But even the wisest person on earth would never come close to having the wisdom of God. For God is infinitely, consistently, and perfectly wise.
Each of God's attributes isn't an isolated trait but intertwined within the wholeness of His being. We can only understand his faithfulness when we understand His immutability. Because God remains the same, He is faithful no matter what.
In the same way that God is immutable and infinite, His goodness is unchanging. Through his goodness flows his mercy. Affirming God's goodness is often easier when times are good, which is true for many of God's other attributes. When life takes a turn for the worse, we can begin to question the goodness of God. But even in our trials, God remains ...
God is just, but what does that mean? Being just means more than simply being fair. The sovereignty of God means He always does what's right and good for all of humanity. Furthermore, our Lord's judgments on evil, unrepentant sinners are also just and right. The wrath of God the Almighty is powerful and swift — but it is always just.
God's mercy is inseparable from His justness. He's infinitely, unchangeably, and unfailingly merciful, as well as lovingly kind, toward us. He's inexhaustibly and actively compassionate. His mercy isn't deserved by us. Through Jesus Christ, our sins were forgiven, and we were given eternal life. It is through our Savior that we can accept God’s mer...
Our ability to trust in grace is because grace is an attribute of God and not just an action He performs. Grace is God's goodwill toward our sins and shortcomings. Without the grace of God, we have no merit. But with grace, God abolishes our debt through Christ.
Our understanding of God's love is only possible when we consider his other attributes. The love of Godis eternal, sovereign, unchanging, and infinite. In fact, God is love itself — under the many names of God, He's often known as love.
Our aim must be to determine from God's works and words what qualities, dispositions, determinations, powers of his otherwiso unseen and unsearchable essence he has actually made known to us; or in other words, what are the revealed attributes of God.

God is not to be identified with that which He Himself created. He is not trees and He is not mountains; that is the result of His creative power. God exists behind that, outside of that, and totally separate from it, although He invades it all with His omnipresence because He is everywhere at once.
