Using your own words (no Bible verses necessary) explain how you would teach the nature of God to someone wanting to understand.
God's nature/character is best described as Love. Not a love like we know and understand but a love perfect in itself. Perfect in patience... perfect in righteousness... perfect in truth... perfect in justice... perfect in compassion... perfect in order... perfect in love.
It is a character that we cannot fathom, cannot understand... and fail miserably in trying to reflect... only through the life of Jesus, as revealed in the Bible, can we know and experience this love for ourselves. Only in Him, through the Father, can we receive of His character... His Spirit.
He is to be desired for His Love... the love He has for us is limitless, infinite... without merit or reason. A love that will never end but continue to grow throughout eternity. A love that is freely there for the taking if you will follow Him.
So instead of this revealing what the Word says about God's nature, we are going to play a Q & A to speculate on these things.... nice.
My bad... your thread.
Carry on...
Do you really think that's what I meant? I have enough Scripture in my head to take about and compare. Even when Scripture is quoted people can't come to an agreement so this is just a simple discussion on how others explain the Godhead.
