Who is God?… A question that has baffled some Christians & scholars for generations. Is God really a mystery?, Who cannot be known or explained?… Or is God composed of 3 co-eternal persons, called the “trinity” as many Christians believe?…
Jesus told us plainly, that the very first thing that his followers ought to do, is to gain the right conception of God! This is stated in;
JOHN 4:24; “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
JOHN 17:3; “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
As Christians we have been warned that our conception & knowledge of God was not to be based on human judgment, or opinion, but based solely on the facts contained in the holy word & in the life of Christ. So let’s take a look at the scriptures of truth to discover what it really says about who God really is… Inorder to find out “who” God really is, we must take a look at the only available source that talks about this God… Which is of course the Bible.
WHO WAS GOD RECOGNIZED AS, BY THE ANCIENT BELIEVERS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TIMES?
Let’s take a look at some Bible verses and we shall begin in: Deuteronomy 32:3-4 & v.6, as we begin to get the answer to the above question, and it reads;
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he…6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy Father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
