GOD IS
By Rick Mathes
Titus 2:11 (NASB77) 11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
God appeared to all men in the form of a man. This is call hypostasis. How can Jesus be fully God and flly man at the same time? I didn’t know but that doesn’t mean God doesn’t understand it. What we do know iis a lot about god and a lot about the man from Galilee. Let me take a moment to list few attributes of god and similar words that may give us both a fuller picture of Him.
God is:
- Personal human, internal, secret, novel, characteristic
- Eternal divine, nonmaterial, lasting, timeless, permanent, unfailing
- Spirit life force, ghost, emphasis, seat of feeling, courage
- All-knowing divine, well-informed, omniscient, ruling, governing
- Sovereign masterful, national, dominant, ruling, governing
- Unchanging eternal, permanent, stable, regular, infallible
- Good skillful, desirable, benevolent, obedient, moral, innocent
- Righteous right, moral, judicious, accurate, wise, principles
- Just legal, impartial, judicious, accurate, wise, principles
- Truthful correct, honest, realistic, literal, naïve
- Holy virtuous, perfect, etical, irreproachable, impeccable
God has:
Saving Grace: It is entirely of His choosing that we are saved. I know don’t like to accept it but the truth is that you had absolutely nothing to do with your getting saved. It was all entirely of His doing.
Schooling Grace; The Logos comes alive when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and the lessons learned from the Word of God get deeper and deeper the more you study the Word. We will be studying God forever.
Sanctifying Grace; The pursuit of holiness is futile. We can’t chase it, find it or cquire it apart from the imputation of His holiness on us.
Serving Grace; The natural result of unmerited favor is to bless those who don’t deserve it. This is a clear sign of a real life change and that is to love the unlovely without their asking to be loved.
