Attributes of God 3


Because we handle life and it’s challenges in direct proportion to our view of God, we’re looking at His attributes to better know and enjoy Him.

Today we take a quick glance at Immutable, Incomparable, Judgement, Just and Knowledge, just a small part of his attributes.

Immutable - He will never change from being a great God.
James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Malachi 3:6 "I the LORD do not change.

Incomparability - "There is no one like Him in the universe. When you're working with people, whatever the context, you realize they are never 100% faithful and good and loving and neither are you. It encourages me to know that while we don't come close to reflecting all His attributes, He embodies them. His vastness never ceases to amaze me." Fred Hitchcock, Little Rock, Arkansas
Job 41:33 Nothing on earth is his equal...

Judgement (Justice) - Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Romans 2:6 God "will give to each person according to what he has done."
1 Peter 1:17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.

Just - Whatever has, is or will happen to me is fair. Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.

Knowledge - 1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
Acts 2:23 This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
