Who is God?
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
– A.W. Tozer
I would add to Tozer’s excellent statement that what we think about God is much less than what we should think of Him. (See this article: Is Your View of God as High as You Think?)
I can’t think of a better investment of our time than studying the Word of God to know the God of the Word in such a way that the Truth of who He is fills our hearts and minds and overflows into our actions.
When tragedy strikes, what we know and believe about God determines whether we’re able to stand firm as we lean on His matchless nature, or if we’ll crumple under the weight of our sorrows.

Understanding the Trinity—How God is Great the Three-in-One
God is the Trinity—the eternal Three-in-One. We can understand the Trinity and how how this truth makes a difference in our lives today.
GOD IS . . .
- The Great I AM (Exodus 4:13)
- Ask the Best Questions When Life is Too Hard (Who is the Great I AM? vs. Who Am I in Christ?)
It’s important to know who we are in Christ. It’s even more important to know who God is. Moses’ conversation with God in the burning bush dramatizes this truth well.
- Ask the Best Questions When Life is Too Hard (Who is the Great I AM? vs. Who Am I in Christ?)
- The Three-in-One, Trinity—God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three separate persons in one divine nature.
- Incomprehensible — If God were small enough to be understood, He wouldn’t be big enough to be God.
- Omnipresence and Immensity of God — God is not only everywhere at all times (omnipresent), He’s fully present wherever He is (the immensity of God).
- Transcendent— Outside of Time and Space — Eternal/Everlasting
- Immutable — Unchanging & Unchangeable
- Self-Existent — Self-Sufficient — Aseity—Acts 17:25 — “I see that word [Aseity], and I get chills up my spine because in that one little word is captured all of the glory of the perfection of God’s being. What makes God different from you, and different from me, and different from the stars, the earthquakes, and any creaturely thing is that God and God alone has aseity—God alone exists by His own power.” RC Sproul
