Who Is God? 1

This is the first and perhaps most important topic to consider because God is at the center of it all for in him we live, move and have our being. 

How do you know who a person truly is? I believe there are four parameters to consider in answering this The four parameters are :

1. Who he says he is

2. His character and nature

3. His actions and works

4. Who people say he is.

This week, we will be considering who God says he is. 

Let us hear who God says he is from his own mouth. Let God introduce himself. 

Who God Say He Is 

1. The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, "Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness  I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations." *Exo 34, verses 6- 7* 

2. And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the Israelites and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, What is His name? What shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you! Exo 13, verses 13 - 14.

3. GOD's Message: "Don't let the wise brag of their wisdom. Don't let heroes brag of their exploits. Don't let the rich brag of their riches. If you brag, brag of this and this only: That you understand and know me. I'm GOD, and I act in loyal love. I do what's right and set things right and fair, and delight in those who do the same things. These are my trademarks." GOD's Decree. *Jere 9, verses 23 - 25*

4. I am GOD--yes, I AM. I haven't changed. And because I haven't changed, you, the descendants of Jacob, haven't been destroyed. *Mal 3 verse 6*

5. "I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end," says the Lord God. "I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One." Rev 22 verse 13

6. I and the Father are one. *John 10.30*

7Jesus replied, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don't know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you? Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me. *John 14 verses 9 - 10*
