The Privilege of Knowing God Truly
The greatest privilege for humans is the opportunity to know God, but we neither deem this to be a privilege nor do we find this to be something for which our hearts should yearn. This is on account of two factors: the first is that we have a low view of God, and the second […]
The Sovereignty of God
The sovereignty of God means that God has complete and perfect authority over His creation. Our God is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. R.C. Sproul once noted that “If God is not sovereign, God is not God.” The sovereignty of God is the very Godness of God. His sovereignty is what makes Him […]
The Eternality and Aseity of God
Aseity means that God is sufficient for Himself and that He is autonomous to the extent of complete and perfect independence. Aseity is derived from the two Latin words “a se,” which means “from or by oneself.” Aseity is not a word used in the Bible, but the concept is found throughout the Scriptures. God […]
The Omnipotence of God
The omnipotence of God means that He is all-powerful. God does not only have power: He has all power (Heb. 1:3, Ps. 147:5, Job 42:2, Jer. 32:27). The power of God is not received from any source outside of Him. God has power in Himself and is not in need of any power to be granted unto Him. […]
A Treatise Against Impotent Cultural Christianity
A Battle of Definitions A weak, vulnerable, always agreeable, and non-offensive Christianity is not Christianity. Many people may have their definition of Christianity, but neither you nor I have the authority to define it. God defines and sets the terms, conditions, values, and principles of Christianity and constructs its ethics. “If everything that is […]
The Wisdom of God
The God of the Bible is all-wise and He has wisdom in Himself. Wisdom is distinguished from omniscience, which means that God has all knowledge, so wisdom implies that He knows how to apply and use that knowledge. This attribute is present in all three Persons of the Trinity. In the knowledge of God infinite […]
The Omniscience of God
The omniscience of God means that He is all-knowing. God knows all that exists and all that will come to pass. His knowledge is infinite (1 John 3:20, Ps. 147:5). He knows the large and the small details of all things. His knowledge has no limits, unlike our erroneous and flawed intellect. Nothing surprises God […]
The Immutability of God
God is Immutable. Immutability means that He does not change. He is unchangeable, unlike the gods fashioned by human reasoning. A mutable creature will make a god in his own image that is like him. In Pakistan, for example, there is a famous song that contains lyrics saying “he has seen God change.” This song […]
The Love of God
The attributes of God are immense and numerous beyond the comprehension of mere creatures like us. We cannot fully grasp them with our finite brains, and our weakness makes it impossible for us to completely understand the excellencies of God to their fullest extent. Yet God has revealed Himself in the Scriptures to some comprehensible […]
Discovering Perfect Faithfulness
Perfect faithfulness is neither seen nor an expected virtue from any child of Adam. We know and have experienced that no human can be perfectly faithful to another, no matter how hard one may attempt to be faithful. We can never achieve it and seldom obtain it. You might have hoped those in your life […]
