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. […]

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 […]
Is God For Us?
“Is God for me?” It’s a question I’ve asked myself countless times in moments of sickness, suffering, and hardship. I easily answer “yes” when all is well. Of course, God is for me. I am healthy. I have a good job, a nice car, a roof over my head, and a wife – […]
