God's magnificence is beyond


 comparison. God's greatness 


has no equivalentrival, or 


impediment.


Then God said, 


"Let there be light," and there was light."

Every individual aspect of who God is always


so uniquely glorious that it cannot be fully 


expressed or properly understood. 


God is beyond the constraints and boundaries 


of every other phenomenon; He is the greatest 


in every way.


God’s holiness means He is distinguishable... 


completely separate. God is unique to Himself; 


He is in a category of His own.



All things come from God, pass through God, 


and return to God. To God be glory forever. 


Romans 11:33-36

God will make a way, because 


God is our Way Maker. 

God is always present. We can always rely on God. 


God is our Promise Keeper. Every truth comes from 


God. God is the Source of all Truth. 



God's justice is righteous, unwavering, unbiased


impartial, devoid of misperception, accurate, fair 


and balanced.



God is unbounded, unceasing, unchangeable,


Steadfast, and Absolute. 



God is merciful. God's mercy forgives offenses, 


pardons the unpardonable, and saves the unworthy.



God is Spirit in its purest form. God is indescribable... 


beyond words. 



God is our Shepherd. God is Merciful. God is a 


Generous Giver... always giving. God is 


Deserving of Praise. 



God is the Source of all goodness.



 God's wisdom is supreme. The guidance 


of God is pure, faultless, thorough, and meticulous. 



God is Awesome... always producing that which is


 impeccable. 



God is Holy. God is our Eternal Rock of Ages. 


God is our Strong Tower... our Fortress. 


God is where we find refuge. God is our Safe Haven. 



God is our Creator and loving Father. 


God is Peace. 



God is our Mighty Healer and Great Physician. 


God is our Comforter. God is our Teacher. 


God is Justice, and God's Law is unquestionably 


spotless, righteous, proper, perfect, beneficial, honest


equitable, and morally superior. 



God is Abundantly Sufficient and resides 


within everyone of us. 



Our Sure Foundation is God and God alone.

God Is Good


Song by Jonathan McReynolds


Lyrics


May your struggles keep you near the cross

And may your troubles show that you need God


And may your battles end the way they should


And may your bad days prove that God is good


And may your whole life prove that God is good

An overwhelming number of people in the 


world regularly feel empty and unfulfilled. 


Many individuals struggle to find more than 


momentary relief from the wailing of their 


souls and are too frail to face another day.


Many are discouraged to discover that the 


future will essentially replicate the past. 


They are left with voids in their existence 


because the deity/idol they worship is unable 


to fulfill their needs.

Our soul has a desire that 


only God can satisfy.

We all have a spiritual thirst for God, a 


void in our lives that only God can fill. 


The Psalmist in the Bible put it this way: 


“My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.


The problem is that people seek pleasure, 


celebrity, money, lustful entanglements, 


dependency on narcotics, and drunkenness 


instead of turning to God and allowing 


God to fill their souls. 


In an effort to find the truth and fill the


 void in their lives, some people even 


turn to bogus philosophies or faiths. 


They may believe they have discovered


 what they were seeking for, but in the


 end, they are still empty. 


Sadly, some people could nearly destroy 


their lives.

God is no respecter of persons. God is Almighty.


God is infinitely exalted above and beyond all of


creation. God is unfathomably elevated. 


All-knowing, All-wise, and All-powerful 


describe our Sovereign God. The past, present, 


and future are all known to God. God has 


complete knowledge.


God is above all, within all, and throughout


all. God is  the center of everything that 


exists. God is boundless and self-contained.


God is the center of everything...


 the Epicenter of all existence.

When life seems to be aimless and going 


nowhere and we try to figure out what this


 time of our life is supposed to be about…


 let's resolve to wait patiently… with God


at the center... not mindlessly, but with an


 understanding that the breakthrough might


 not come right away, but we won't give in


 to despair in the interim.

Let's not be fooled by people who want 


to lead us into searching for God down the


 wrong path and in the wrong places. Let's


place God at the center of our lives instead. 


Only God can fulfill our inner yearning, 


and He will do so when we turn to Him


 and, by faith, allow His transformative 


influence to permeate our hearts and lives. 


God the Creator Who spoke the universe 


into existence and made man from the 


dust of the earth is eternal. God has no

beginning and no end. God is the same


yesterday, today and forever. God is the 


Creator, Preserver and Sustainer of all things.


Acts 17:22-34


God's perfections and essence 


are limitless and completely 


beyond human comprehension.

There is no way for man to make a statement 


that encompasses everything that God is. 


Perfect knowledge is beyond 


our scope... our capacity to


 know everything is limited. 


This means that a certain 


amount of faith is necessary.

In terms of exhaustively defining God, we 


simply cannot. It is impossible to adequately 


and/or completely define God. Man is 


incapable of expressing all that God is. To


attempt to do so would constrain God; it 


would limit God, and there is no dimension 


that can impose restrictions on God


How can the finite define 


the Infinite?  


As a way of articulating Who God is, we can only 


describe or express God in light of everything we 


have come to understand about God.


Without a shadow of a doubt or hesitation, one


 thing is clear: the more we learn about God, 


the more we would like to learn about God.


We are compelled to share what 


we have observed and heard. 


Necessity is laid upon us.


"We cannot help speaking about what 


we have seen and heard."


Acts 4:20

This commentary was not produced as an attempt 


to present ourselves as experts or flawless humans 


who are free of errors and failures. We are


 undeniably aware of our shortcomings. 



We recognize that we still have much more to 


learn, which is why... we humbly remain teachable


spirits and usable channels for greater works.



We shall do everything we can to further 


God's purposes and correct our errors.

Far too many individuals nowadays devote little


 to no time at all reflecting on God's personal 


perfections. Surprisingly, some who regularly 


read the Scriptures are unaware of God's 


awe-inspiring magnificence.



Many individuals are allowing the world's chaos,


 ideological dysfunctions, and divisive issues


to dominate their lives. Some have abandoned 


God's glory in favor of profound divides and


 other things produced and altered by man's 


hardened hearts and corruptible hands.



We were created to know and revere God's 


majesty beyond all else.


In today's culture, there is a pervasive


 lack of reverence for God. Our society 


characterizes God as "Love," but we must


 keep in mind that even before the Scriptures 


revealed God's loving essence, God was 


also described as "Holy."


Everything exists because of God. "The


 heavens reveal God's magnificence." 


Psalm 19:1


"The Lord God Almighty, Who was, is, and


 is to come, is holy, holy, holy." 


Revelations 4:8


God is termed Holy more than any other 


quality in the Bible. The most common 


epithet associated with God's Name is


"Holy," and recognizing His Holiness leads 


to awe and reverence for God.


We owe God our whole existence, for God 


gave us life, breath, and vitality. Our 


Creator is God and all of creation is 


incredible, awe-inspiring, wondrous, 


and amazing to behold



God used immense strength and great 


precision and power to construct creation.


So, what existed before


 creation?


People of all ages and stages have



 speculated about God's beginnings



 and how He came to be. Simply,



plainly, directly, without exception 



or doubt, God was the only entity 



that existed "Before" Creation.



Psalm 90:1-2 

It is challenging for our finite understanding


 to comprehend that God has always existed 


and will continue to exist.

God has always existed. God is separate from 


both time and the Universe. There was God


 existing in eternity. God created without a


 beginning. Not even "nothing" existed.  


There was no “before” God created. There 


was God existing in eternity.

God, You have been our dwelling 


place in all generations. 

The "Law of Cause and Effect" 


is one of nature's most powerful laws. It is 


stated that everything occurs as a result 


of something.

So, what was the catalyst 


for creation?

Only existing life has the potential to give 


birth to new life. Life can only begin from 


living things, not from spiritless, lifeless 


elements. 



God does not need a cause.


God has eternal life in Himself. God has 


existed from all of eternity. Only the 


physical world has been shown to 


have cause and effect relationship.



God is eternal Spirit. God is 


the ultimate uncaused cause.



God is all-knowing and all-present. God is


 timeless and spaceless. God is over all, 


through all, and in all.


Only God could declare, "I Am," before eternity, 


before time. We know from the entire book of 


Revelation that there is only one God, the one 


and only God Who inhabited eternity before time.


According to the Scriptures, God had no beginning! 


The "First cause" had no beginning... that is, 


God was created by no one because the 


"First cause" is everlasting. Not a single thing 


caused God to exist because the


 "First cause is eternal." 



God is the ultimate uncaused 


"First Cause."

According to Scripture, before anything was 

created...beyond time and space... 

God existed in eternity.

God will never cease to exist. God is always 


existing in eternity past, present, and eternity 


future. God was, is, and will always exist from 


everlasting to everlasting. 

God has no beginning and no end. God is the 


Originator of time, something else that has no


beginning and no end. 



Psalm 90:2 says, “From forever in the past to 


forever in the future, You are God.” 


The eternity of God concerns His existence 


beyond time. 



Drawing on verses such as Psalm 90:2, 


"God has no beginning, end, or succession of 


moments in His own being, and He sees all time


 equally distinctly; yet, God sees events in time and


 acts in time."


God is uncreated and eternal in His being. 

God is timeless, eternal, self-existent, One Who 

existed in eternity. God is all existence. God has

 existed for all eternity. God always existed and 

always will exist. God is the One Who always is, 

always has been, and will forever be. God is our

"Everlasting Father," our eternal God, Whose 

existence has neither a commencement or a period

 with time. This means, God already existed prior

 to the creation of time, space, and, matter.


God is infinite, Self-existing, and without origin. 

God was never created because God is infinite 

and eternal in His nature. God is eternal, outside 

of time, from everlasting to everlasting, without 

beginning of days or end of life. 

God is timeless. 

Scripture reveals that God transcends time. 

God is above and outside the sphere of time, 

as we know it. God was before all time and 

all worlds. God's existence extends endlessly

 in the past and in the future, and God sees

 all of eternity's past and eternity's future. 


Time is actually a created entity. 


The first verse of the Bible reads: 


In the beginning God created the heavens


 and the earth” 


Genesis 1:1



God is the Creator of time.

“In the beginning . . .” is when time began!


There was no time before time was created!


Time began when God created the universe.

God created time as a limited part of His

creation for accommodating the workings 

of His purpose.




You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord,


“and My servant whom I have chosen,


so that You may know and believe Me


and understand that I am He. Before Me 


no god was formed, nor will there be one 


after Me.


Isaiah 43:10

There was no "Before" God. God existed in


eternity prior to the creation of time, space,


 and matter. God existed before the universe 


and time began. There was not a time when 


God did not exist. Before time, space, and 


matter were established, before the


universe was born... there was only God. 


"All things were made through Him, 


and without Him nothing was made 


that has been made."


John 1:3

"In the beginning, there was God." There was 

no heaven, earth, or universe. God existed


from everlasting to everlasting before creation.


Time was created with the universe by God. 


There was no time "Before" God created. God is 


timeless truth. God's creation of the universe 


was the commencement of time. “In the 


beginning...” is when time began! Before 


creation, there was God, the timeless, eternal, 


self-existent One Who existed in eternity.


There was a period, if you may call it that, when 


God, in the oneness of His nature resided entirely

alone. There was nothing but eternity before time 

started. 



God gained nothing by creating 

mankind at the time He did. 

God's free will was not constrained, obligated, 

or required to create. That He decided to do so 

was solely a sovereign act on His behalf, 

caused by nothing external to Himself and 

determined by nothing but His own will.

God is not an impersonal or random energy


 that influences the world. God is not 


some vague, pompous, pretentious 


"Man-in-the-sky" concept. Clearly, God 


created and cares for all of creation, beneath 


the earth, and in the heavens above; yet, God 


exists above and independent from them all.

John 4:24

Scripture teaches that we can have an honest

and personal understanding of God, but this does

 not imply we will ever completely comprehend 

God. God can never be fully known. God will 

always be a mystery to our finite understanding.


It is impossible for the finite to sufficiently 

or totally define God because...


God is Spirit...
 

Infinite Spirit!

God is the original Life Giver. 


God is the uncreated Creator of time, space, 


and matter. God is the Giver and Author of 


Life and Breath. God is the Source of all life... 


the ideal and timely Provider of all we could


possibly want or need.

God gave us life and breath, and we

 


owe our whole existence to Him.

We may know that there is a God because


 natural reason informs us that the universe


 we see around us could only have been created


 by a self-existing Being Who is all-knowing,


all-powerful and pure goodness. 



We can know God not just through natural


 reason, but also through supernatural revelation — 


that is, by the truths revealed to us by God 


Himself in the Scriptures. 



The more we know about God... the more we 


would like to know about God.



All scripture is beneficial for teaching, rebuking,


 correcting, and instructing in righteousness


because it was inspired by God. 


Titus 3:16

When we say God the Supreme,



 we believe God is self-existent,



the Ultimate, Eternally Holy



Presence Who exists above 



and beyond all others.

When we state that God is self-existent, we are


 referring to the fact that God is not beholden


 to anyone. God's existence is not dependent 


on anything or anyone else.

Knowing to Whom we belong 


is the most important fact in


life. Everything originates with 


God, flows through God, and 


returns to God.

In God... everything within 


creation exists.

All things are upheld by God's mighty power 


(Hebrews 1:3), yet God is upheld by Himself 


alone. 

In God we live and move and have our being


Acts 17:28


Heaven's greatest Treasure is God's only begotten 


Son, and God gave His only begotten Son to us 


with profound love. 



To speak about love means to speak about God. 


God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, 


and God in them. 


I John, 4, 16


God's love is indescribable. While we 


should and must talk honestly about 


God's love, we will never be able to 


comprehend it because it is divine love, 


which is as distinct from our love as 


His being is from ours.



One of the most significant divine Names


for glorifying God is Lover of mankind.


 

God is incomprehensible to humans. We 


will never fully define God. We are 


unable to provide a complete picture of 


God. "God lives in an unapproachable 


light," according to the Scriptures.



God is all-knowing. God is aware of


 everything that has happened... is 


happening, and will happen in the 


future, even our most private thoughts, 


words, and acts.



When we say God is all-present, we imply 


that God is present in all places.


Where can we escape from God's spirit?


 or where can we hide from God's gaze? 


138:7 (Psalm)




God is exceedingly lovely in Himself,


 and everything good we have originates 


from God's fatherly love.



 
There is nothing that can compare to God. 

God is all-powerful. God has the ability to 


do anything. 



God is all-knowing, all-holy, all-merciful, 


and all-just. In all of God's ways, God is 


righteous, and God's handiwork is


 immaculate. 144:17 (Psalm)



With God, nothing will 


be impossible. 


Luke 1:37


God is our greatest 


Treasure. 



God is unchangeable, boundless, and eternal. 

All wisdom, power, holiness, justice, and 

goodness are part of God's essence. 

 

Everyone, whether good or evil, is under 


God's watchful care. God's eyes are all about


us, watching over both the good and the bad. 


Proverbs 15:3 



God not only desires to watch over us, 


but He also desires to teach us and 


counsel us on what we should do.




When we say that God is endlessly perfect,


 we mean that God is flawless in every way, 


without limits. God is eternally perfect. 



The attributes of God, which are revealed


 in the Scriptures, demonstrate how 


complete God is as our benevolent God.



 God's characteristics demonstrate the 


completeness of His divine being. God's 


perfections include being everlasting, 


all-good, all-knowing, all-present, and 


all-powerful.



When we say God is everlasting, we mean


 that God has always been, will always be, 


and will always be the same. 



God declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, 


the beginning and the end." 


Revelation 1:8



God's boundless loving kindness, light, truth, 


justice, and grace are evident to us. God's


 eternal holiness, righteousness, power, and 


pure goodness are all evident to us. Divine 


Providence refers to God's loving care for us.



Cast all of your worries on Him,


 for He is concerned about you. 


I Peter 5:7; I Peter 5:8; I Peter 5:9



God's divine power has granted to us all things


 that pertain to life and godliness, through the


 knowledge of God Who called us to His own


 glory and excellence, by which He has granted 


to us His precious and very great promises, so 


that through them we may escape from the 


corruption that is in the world because of 


passion, and become partakers of the divine


 nature.


2 Peter 1:3-4



Knowing God, being loved


by God, and becoming more 


Christlike is the goal of our


 soul's mission. 


According to Scripture, God is personally 


involved in the comings and goings of 


mankind and genuinely loves us and is


 completely individual, personal, caring, 


powerful, and willing to help us all.  



God created love and has the ability to 


flood our hearts with His unending love.


God desires to have a relationship with us 


and freely offers us the gift of His 


everlasting love.

When we know God loves us, it becomes 


reasonable, doable, feasible, and achievable 


to obey God and trust God with the outcome


 of things.



Scripture reminds us: No, in all these things 


we are more than conquerors through Him 


Who loved us. For I am convinced that neither


 death nor life, neither angels nor demons, 


neither the present nor the future, nor any 


powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything 


else in all creation, will be able to separate us 


from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus 


our Lord.


Romans 8:37-39


"All That We Are,



We Owe"



Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our greatest quest and the most supremely rewarding


 treasure for the soul is our relationship with God.

"... God is Spirit, and all who worship God 


must do so in Spirit and in Truth."


John 4:24

Creation itself gives evidence that a Creator exists. 


Creation also demands that its Creator has 


always existed.


There is no place where God is not. 


God is the infinite Creator, Designer and Sustainer

of the universe.

God is Eternal Spirit, 


meaning... 


God has no beginning and will have no end.

 


God has no limitations. God is above and 


before all of the past, present, and future.



God is the Greatest Being conceivable and is


 not dependent on human beings. Unlike humans,


 who change from one day to the next, God is 


immutable and unchanging in His love and 


justice. This means, that even in the midst of 


life's storms, God's nature is love, and God's 


love is perfect, Holy, and unchanging.


God has all the answers.

God's wisdom is infinite and will never be 


exhausted. God is the answer to any and 


all challenges or troubles we could ever have.


When God speaks...

 it shall be done.

God is perfect in power, love,

 


 and holiness. 


To glorify God means to give God the


 dignity, honor, respect, praise, and worship 


due Him as the gracious gift He is to us.


Our response to God's greatness 



should be...



Praise.
