Do you know what some of God’s attribute are and why they are important? Well the one that got to me is that he is transcendence. This mean that God cannot be compared to no one or anything because nothing or no one cannot come close to him. For example, it says in the bible in Isiah chapter fight until verse nine that his thoughts are not like ours and neither is his way. He says that heavens are higher than earth, so that his ways and his thoughts are too. So being that we leave in earth, are ways and thoughts cannot be higher than his. That makes him not be able to be compare to no one or anything. God has more attribute that could be talked about even though I talked to you so far about the one that impacted me the most. There are more attributes that I want …show more content…
Nobody’s love is like God because no matter what he still loves us. Does not mean that you could sin all you want, but even if you sin he will still love you. It says in Deuteronomy chapter seven verse seven through eight says, "The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a might hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt." It also says in first John chapter eight and nine, “he who does not love does not know God, for God is love. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God abides in him, and who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” So if you love, you are acting like God because God tells us that we need to love are enemies and not hate anyone. In spite of who we are and though God hates the workers of iniquity and in spite of all this, God still loves us. So this concludes that we could believe or not believe in him that God will still love
God is sinless, loving, forgiving and full of wisdom. God’s love is shown throughout the Old and New Testaments. Many times throughout the Old
Since God is perfectly holy, we can have confidence that when dealing with us he is just and perfect. Bridges explains that holiness is God’s greatest attribute. Since he is holy, that makes all his other attributes good, holy, and just. God, being all of these things, cannot hold us to a standard of any less than holiness. Salvation is not something we can attain through holiness on our own.
If we are unable to love, and this what Wright is addressing, then one has no saving knowledge of God. As Christians, one needs to be reminded that God’s nature is kind, because there is no evil in God, and this what is being pointed out in the entire book of After you Believe: Why Christian Character
The apostle John declared: “God is love.” In the Koine Greek, Agape love is that not only that love is from God, but that it is of God. God Himself loves. Love is one of the moral attributes of God Agape love is self-sacrificing. The LORD Almighty loved the world so much that He sent His only son, to death; death on a cross. .
A wonderful description of the nature of God’s existence that includes the absolute possession of characteristics that have to be uniquely God was said, “First, God must exist necessarily, which means that God’s existence differs from ours by not being dependent on anything or anyone else, or such as to be taken from him or lost in any way. God has always existed, will always exist and could not do otherwise than to exist. Also, whatever attributes God possesses, he possesses necessarily” (Wood, J., 2010, p. 191).
In the construction of the Large Hardon Collider, physicists seek and hope to unlock the mysteries of the universe by analyzing the attributes of the most miniscule particles known to man. In the same way, theologians have argued back and forth over the course of human history with regards to the divine attributes of God, seeking and hoping to unlock the mysteries of the metaphysical universe. Although these many attributes, for example omnipresence, could be debated and dissected ad nauseum, it is within the scope of this research paper to focus but on one of them. Of these many divine attributes of God, nothing strikes me as more intriguing than that of God’s omnipotence. It is intriguing to me because the exploration of this subject not only promises an exhilarating exercise in the human faculties of logic, it also offers an explanation into the practical, such as that of the existence of evil, which we live amidst every day. So with both of these elements in hand, I am going to take on the task of digging deeper into the divine attribute of omnipotence in hopes of revealing more of the glory of God, and simultaneously bringing greater humility to the human thinker. In order to gain a better understanding on the subject of divine omnipotence, I am going to analyze four aspects of it. First, I am going to build a working definition of what we mean when we say that God is omnipotent. Second, I am going to discuss the relationship between divine omnipotence and logic. Third, I am going to discuss the relationship between God’s omnipotence and God’s timelessness. Last, I am going to analyze God’s omnipotence in relation to the existence of evil in the world. Through the analysis of these four topics in relation to om...
Throughout life we question whether God is immanent or transcendent. Immanent theology believes that God is in everything on earth. Immanence is similar to being omnipresence in that God is present in everything at the same time. As human beings we believe that God is always around but still look up to God as being the superior one. Transcendent theology believes that God is above the earth and that God is separate from and independent of nature and humanity. God is not attached or involved in his creation. As humans living on earth we do not know who God is because God lives outside space and time. There are various arguments and examples to support immanent and transcendent theology through theologians that makes you contemplate if God is immanent or transcendent. Thomas Berry and Rudolf Bultmann are two specific examples of immanent and transcendent theologians.
The factual nature of God (given that He exists as the First Cause) is at all times argued by most Christians. Moreover numerous questions arise on the nature of God. We all know that, at some point we will actually die; yet, we consistently refuse the causes operating within ourselves that looks into the real result of what comes after a person loses his or her life. It is far simpler for humankind to agree that, they will depart to a secure home in Heaven and will be pardoned all their sins by a supreme being, rather than to query on the existence of the extremely all-powerful being. Luckily, some of us usually query this existence and the development of humankind; in addition to, the spiritual lessons obtained from our mothers and fathers, community and religion. This essay investigates the two logical justifications for and against the nature of God; in accordance to opinions of some exceptional researchers and philosophers. Through two classical arguments for God; the ontological argument and the teleological argument, I will show that there is no adequate evidence or extensive justifications for the true nature of God.
...nother. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13: 34-35).
... loved more than loving others. Hence, we are never satisfied. The only way for a human being to be fully satisfied of love is to be loved by the absolute completeness. The whole representation of love is God and He is perfect. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, was perfect and love, which was how he died on the cross for the sins of others. The ultimate wholeness of love died for the sins of you and me. Christ did not die in order to take benefit from human beings. He is perfect in himself; he does not need mankind to fulfill his completeness. Hence, Christ died on the cross simply because he loves mankind. He loves you and me so much he gave his own life. What greater love is there than the love of Jesus Christ? As much as human beings strongly desire to be loved, why doesn’t one satisfy one’s hunger of love through the ultimate representation of love, Jesus Christ?
In the year of 2003 there are many types of religions that are practiced in the United States, which involves a God, or a divine power. My personal preference of religion is Christianity. I believe in Jesus Christ and the all mighty God Jehovah. The characteristics of a God varies from religion to religion, but all leading up to love, an everlasting peaceful life, and salvation; therefore, giving strength to all human beings that believe in them and has faith in them.
Jesus Christ lived a sinless life even up to his death by crucifixion. Far from being a way of appeasing a wrathful God for the sins of Mankind the Crucifixion is really an example of God's love toward us. Consider Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.". At first this seems slightly strange: how was God's love manifested towards us through the Crucifixion?

Matt. 10:-37 "He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." Anyone that is not worthy of Him is not one of His:
What are the standards that the bible gives us for love? To even begin to understand the standards we first have to look to God himself. Christianity is based solely on love and faith. God loved us enough, even through all of our sins, to send his only son to death. To him we were unlovable. We were sinners. We were murderers. We were thieves. We were rapist. Yet he gave us his only son. If we believe in him and who he is, why is it so hard to love? It is not hard to love because of the unlovable but because we are selfish. Often we over look the standards that the bibles gives us on love because it is inconvenient. We can do many good deeds but if we do not love they are worthless “If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body [a]to be burned, but do n...
