Introduction
What is your view of God?
Malcolm Webber
Welcome to the first video from our new Transformational Theology video series about what God is like!
As created beings, it is easy for us to have a very small view of God. It is easy for us to understand Him only in human terms or in terms of the people we have known and the experiences we have had. It is only as we look deeply at what God says about Himself in His Word that we will begin to have an accurate picture of who He is and what He is like. We need God to reveal Himself to us through His Word, by His Spirit.

Introduction
What is your view of God?
God Is Spirit
Because of His nature as infinite Spirit, God "has life in Himself!" (John 5:26)
God Is Self-Existent
God exists without being created. He simply "is!"
God is Eternal
God exists entirely outside of time.
God Is Independent
God does not need us, yet He chose to create us for His glory and purposes!
God Is Invisible
Unless God reveals Himself, we cannot know Him.
God Is Constant
In sharp contrast to the created world (and our own fickle hearts), God never changes. He is always the same!
God Is Everywhere
There is nowhere we can go where God is not!
God Is All-Knowing
God knows every thought, motive, and secret of our hearts. He knows it all!
God Is All-Powerful
All of God's infinite power is fully available, all the time, everywhere. There are no exceptions.
God Is Love
For all eternity we will explore the depths of the riches of the love of God!
God Is Personal
We can know God as our closest Friend.
God Is Good
He is our perfect, infinitely loving Heavenly Father.
God is Gracious
What a tragedy if we only understood the grace of God as an abstract idea, and never received it!
God Is Beautiful
Delight yourself in the Lord!
God Is Light
"God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5)
God Is Truth
Because God never lies, we know that we can trust Him for eternal life.
God Is Wise
God made the universe in His great wisdom, and since then has overseen it all in His wisdom.
God Is Holy
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts!
God Is Righteous and Just
"The Lord is righteous in all His ways..." (Psalm 145:17)
God Is Glorious
There is nothing more beautiful than the glory of God. He is worthy of honor and praise!
