The Attributes of God.

12. God is completely true.

 The Hebrew word for truth is – בחמבטז which means “steadfast, lasting, trustworthy, all-accessible, correct”.
 The Greek word – בחמבטזבטזב – means truthful, reliable, correct, real.
Truth is – that which is real, real, original, reliable, trustworthy, stable.
– There is no element of lying in God, He is completely true and can be completely relied on.
The Bible declares – God does not lie and He cannot lie. 2 Corinthians 1:18÷ Titus 1:2÷ Hebrews 6:18
Jesus says – I am the way, the truth and the life – John 14:6
 קשר במ טזב דבתה, טזב טזב טזב טזב טזבטז בלאמ טזבטז…
 טזב טזב טזב טזבטז (truth) is not ב טזבטז or טזבטז but
 טזב טזבטז – many other things are true And maybe, but only God is completely and only true.
 That is, in every way, in every form, God is true.
 He does “truth” and speaks the truth in everything He does.
 God is supremely true and completely true in Himself.
 Romans 3:4 – Only God is true…

13. Is God merciful or a merciful God?
We will also look at the subject of grace later.
Grace – Gives what we do not deserve. (Heaven, Christ, life)
Mercy – Does not give what we do not deserve. (Hell, judgment)
– And also protects us from the consequences of sin.
– When we sin.. we deserve death but are covered by grace.. which is new every morning.
 God in His mercy withholds what we rightfully deserve because of our sin (justice).
 What we cannot earn or achieve in our own strength…….
The Hebrew Old Testament uses several words for mercy. Why are we studying these words because the Bible clearly teaches…
1. פַוֹוֹוֹיָחָבָתָז (פַוֹוֹזָבָתָז)
2. קַבָאָזָבָמָם – To love, to have compassion, to show mercy
3. Heshed (Hebrew word for grace, love, favor) – goodness, kindness, merciful or loving kindness.
Some words in the Greek New Testament are
1. בביזיאל (from בביזיאל) – to show mercy, to express pity, to have compassion or to show mercy.
– It is used of the merciful, the peaceable nature of man, and also of Christ.
2. בבייקאל – This word is used of one man showing mercy to another.
It is also used of God showing mercy to man.
3. ישפטשקאל – to see the suffering, to see the suffering… God shows mercy to man.
The word mercy can be found used of
1. To save a man’s life. (Genesis 19:19)
2. To make a good journey. (Genesis 24:27)
3. To save from prison. (Genesis 39:21)
4. To destroy lives. (Jude 1:20)
5. For the King’s favor. (Ezra 7:28-9:9)
6. For answers to prayer. (Nehemiah 1:11)
Psalm 136 – In every verse – Mercy endures forever.
Grace
saves us and mercy does not let us perish and these are both the natures of God…
God’s grace is unfailing, unchanging, eternal and manifest.
1 John 2:2
This is a very big topic (like any other)
– we need to study, meditate on and preach it constantly.
In Matthew 23:23 Jesus tells the scribes and Pharisees – But the weightier matters of the law – justice, mercy and faith – are left out…
– very heavy…
14. God is an angry God…
Meaning – God’s anger refers to His hatred and anger towards sin. (It refers to His anger and hatred towards sin, unrighteousness and all evil or evil).
– His righteous (righteous or righteous) wrath is for all to see.
– His jealousy for all unrighteousness represents justice.
 Not motivated by the old sinful nature like man.
– Not emotional.
– God’s wrath is needed in us.
 God, motivated by His righteous judgment, expresses His wrath….
God, who is holy, righteous, just… of course, shows and must show wrath against all forms of sin, wickedness, and the root causes of evil.
Romans 1:18 – A good passage… (Read Romans 2:5, and the verse)
– Against all unbelief, forms of sin, wickedness, unrighteousness, unrighteousness…
But on the side of the believer it is a little different.
– Ephesians 2:3 (Rich in mercy, or rich in mercy in verse 4)
– The word “propitiation” is important. (1 John 2:2, Romans 3:25)
“Jesus took the wrath that was due to us on the cross”
and now we have mercy…..
John 19:30 – Now it is finished……
 But against unbelievers, sin and wickedness remain and will be fully revealed in the end…

We are studying the attributes, nature and character of God
 So far, we have studied 14 attributes of God.
 Now, in today’s 2 classes, we will study 6 more attributes, nature and character of God…

15. God is unlimited
16. God is gracious
17. God is just
18. God is righteous
19. God is holy 20. God is a jealous God We will study
   these topics in today’s class . 15. God is unlimited: Meaning: God is limitless in Himself, He has no limits, He is unlimited far beyond this created universe. Our thoughts are limited and we cannot think and appreciate this complete infinity. – He is above or superior to this limited world – He is the creator and sustainer of this creation.  God is free from all limitations. There is no limitation to His knowledge and there is no obstacle in Him. His attributes cannot be exhausted or dissolved.  God never gets tired. Isaiah 40:28-29  All of God’s attributes are unlimited: Romans 8:31-39 (such as love)  God cannot be imprisoned or hindered in any way. (Daniel 4:35)  God is not limited by time, place, or things. (Hebrews 4:3, Revelation 1:8, and Psalm 145:13)  God is not limited like humans and creatures, but is the Creator and is also personal. (Job 38:1-3, 40:1-2, 42:1-3) (Job 38:10)  No one can limit God……. God said to Job in Job 41:1-11…..  Look at the beast – some might call it a dinosaur.       Psalm 74:14 – it is said to be like a serpent.  It could be a giant serpent-shaped dinosaur-like creature that humans cannot control.

 Job was somehow limiting God to his thoughts during his time of suffering….
 Job …I am fine in everything, but why did such suffering come into my life??
(Although he did not curse God and did not abandon his faith in Him but prevailed.
– Isaiah 55:7-8 ……
– My thoughts, my thoughts, my ways try to limit God which is impossible?
– Job was also doing the same thing.
– Orthodoxy tries to limit God.
– Orthodoxy makes enemies, trusts in dead bodies more than in God.
– If you do good works, you will be saved or continue to live!!
– You will be saved by being baptized!!
– There are also churches with rules and regulations!!
– They try to limit the unlimited God……….
– They try to limit God with the fallen logic and reasons of man
– They try to limit God’s work, plan and calling by circumstances…
– They try to limit God with the wisdom and knowledge of man.
Y (It is impossible to limit God with these things).
God says to Job: How can you not control Leviathan, a creation of God? You can control the God who made you… Impossible….???
 You are limited but I am unlimited.
 I know what I am doing….. Why can only you say.
 God is unlimited…………

16. The most important attribute of God…. A gracious God or a God of grace or God is gracious. 
Grace is the whole character of God…. 1 Peter 5:10
– The God of all grace….อง….
Simple meaning: No words and sentences are enough to define it , but we must try…. त्यांन  God’s grace means that God gives us something that we cannot earn or deserve. And at the same time, He enables us to accept it and to serve Him.  Grace is found only in the person of Jesus Christ. (John 1:14-17)  Grace flows from His goodness and great love.  God’s two purposes for the forgiveness of sins are grace and mercy. Grace – salvation, heaven, eternal life, (John 1:14-17)

1. Ordinary Grace – Sun, Water, Wind, Fruit, Earth, Moon, Life Matthew 5:44-45 These are ordinary graces that are given to all for free.
2. Special Grace – Salvation in Jesus Christ, Eternal Life, Heaven and Biblical Truths
3. Judicial Grace – For the overcomers (available to all) but only some accept…..
 If God were not gracious, no one’s sins would be forgiven.
What does the Bible say about grace – Let’s fill in the gaps with verses
17. God is just A just God
means – God holds all people accountable to Him equally, justly and freely.
 He rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked at the same rate.
 Remember – That is why believers go to heaven and unbelievers to hell
– God is just and judges perfectly and truly.
– But people go to hell by their own free will.
Explanation
 God is not partial. – Job 34:17-19, Acts 10:34-35
 God Himself is the standard of holiness by which He measures all people and holds them accountable. Amos 7:7-8 ÷ 1 Peter 1:17 and 3:18
 Because God is just, He rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked…. . . (Numbers 14:18)
 Sometimes we do not see justice in the world, we see the victims, in some cases we ourselves are because of faith….. But let us remember that God is just and His judgments are just and righteous.
 In the end, everyone must be accountable to Him.
 He judges all things and creatures and His judgments are just, righteous, true, full of wisdom, and without partiality.
 Our judgment is not just, the judgments of the kings, emperors and judges of the world are often not just.. (There are things like intrusion, acquaintance, rich and poor, big and small, in this world that are not just) but He is just.
Let’s read Romans 2:2-11
 We need to leave all judgment in the hands of the just God.
– Our own judgment may not be just and it is not.
– Matthew 7:1-7, Romans 14, Romans 2 chapter
– It is necessary to leave it in the hands of God.
– It is necessary to enjoy fellowship with Him.

18. God is righteous A righteous God, the one who saves
 God is infinitely and unchangeably righteous.
 God is perfectly righteous and right and is the ultimate standard of justice and righteousness.
 God is always right and always does righteous things with His holy characters.
 God is perfectly righteous. God is also morally perfect.
Father Stevenson has presented 7 concepts of righteousness.
1. Immature Righteousness – This is the attribute of God that we explained above.
(Psalm 11:7, James 1:17, Romans 3:25-26)
– All of God’s ways and actions are righteous.

– God is faithful and just or true.
2. Imputed Righteousness –
We know of 3 imputations (in Romans 5)
– When a person accepts Christ as their personal Savior
– Christ comes into their life and they are placed in Christ
– therefore the righteousness of Christ is now their righteousness. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
– Imputed righteousness explains this better. Romans 4 and 5 Galatians 3 and 4 are the main passages (Romans 10:11)….

3. Judicial Righteousness – This is also like imputed righteousness in that we are always and permanently standing in righteousness because of finished works.
4. Imparted Righteousness – God’s righteousness is progressively imparted to us, as we receive God’s Word with faith and apply it to our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit, this righteousness is produced by God in our lives. We become wise in knowledge by experiencing God’s righteousness.
5. Self-righteousness – There are some sins that are the great sins,
 Pride, self-righteousness, unbelief and partiality.
 God not only hates these things, but He is completely angry with them.
 This is a mental attitude where someone considers themselves righteous.
 He considers himself righteous because of his own achievements or works.
 That too in works and achievements without God.
 When someone feels that he has achieved his spiritual goals (without God), then he thinks that he has achieved the standard of righteousness.
 God is not pleased with such righteousness. (Isaiah 64:6)
6. Comparative righteousness – when we compare our righteousness with the righteousness of other people and consider ourselves more righteous than others.
7. Righteousness of Religion – the understanding of the works of the law. (Luke 18:13)
 (See also: Proverbs 1:1)
 (Now, can a believer be a victim of these three positive righteousnesses) ???
a. People are completely unrighteous. Romans 3:10, Matthew 5:20, Romans 3:11-18, Jeremiah 13:23, Isaiah 64:6, Titus 3:5-7
b. The righteousness of Christ is perfect. 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 3:18; 1 John 3:3
c. The righteousness of Christ is imputed or instilled in the believer. Romans 8:3-4; Romans 10:3-4
d. Jesus satisfied the righteousness of God for us (1 John 2:2, 1 John 4:10, Romans 3:25)
e. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to the believer only.
19. God is holy or a holy God
d. Meaning – He or God is completely and in every way separated from all creation and evil.
He is completely separate and alone holy from all creation or beings and is morally perfect and holy.
God is morally superior, perfectly pure and completely separate from sin and evil.
Holiness and righteousness make God heavenly and uniquely separate from all things.
God loves righteousness because He is holy and righteous.
Holiness and righteousness are of the utmost importance.
 God is holy by His very nature. Leviticus 11:44 ÷ Exodus 15:11 ÷ Leviticus 19:2 ÷ Joshua 24:19 ÷ 1 Samuel 2:2 ÷ Psalm 78:41 ÷ 99:9 ÷ Isaiah 5:16, 29:23 ÷ John 6:69

20. Is God a jealous God or a jealous God
Meaning – God has a jealousy to protect His supremacy. (Positive jealousy)
God has anger towards idolatry and other sins. Protecting what is yours is not a sin.
1. Spouse, family, wealth A person’s jealousy and envy is full of sin or a fallen nature dominates.
Jealousy – a desire to make the good things of others your own or to have the same things as yourself (house, car, position, honor, wealth, spouse, family, country, spirituality, place).
Jealousy – There is no one else like me, there is no one else with me, there is no one like me, there is no one good like me……
But when we say God is jealous or jealous….
This is because of His holiness and righteousness. He is sinless, true and perfect.
It means that there is no one else like Him so why do we consider others to be like Him? A right kind of jealousy.
– Someone else is worthy of respect, worthy of worship, worthy of glory and praise and adoration.. so why do we pay attention to others…jealousy….
To us – He says.. I have good, eternal, good, good, plan, way, purpose for you so why do you go to your own plan, will, way. I am jealous for you. Come to me… I have excellent blessings for you.
– God is jealous for his nature,. (Exodus 34:14)
– God is jealous for his name,. (Ezekiel 39:25)
– He is jealous for his people,. (Zechariah 8:2)
– Even for the holy land, the holy city, (Joel 2:18 ÷ Zechariah 1:14)
– He is jealous against carved images and idols,. (Psalm 78:58 ÷ 1 Corinthians 10:19-22)
 Against other false gods (that are made by man) (Deuteronomy 32:16)
 Against sins (1 Kings 14:22)
21. God is unique, or the only God – There is no one like God. He alone is. He is incomparable and no one can match Him, exalted above all creation. Isaiah 40:25
 God alone is God. 2 Samuel 7:22, Isaiah 46:9-10 – There is no one else like Him, He is the only one.
 He alone is worthy of worship,. (Matthew 4:10 ÷ Deuteronomy 6:13)
– There is no one else like Him and He alone is worthy of worship.
– Worship no one but God,… there is no one like Him….
– Let no one take His place,… You always feel victorious.
He alone is the Creator, the Holy, the Righteous, the Powerful, the Wise, the Great, the Faithful, and the Savior.
If you have Christ, you have everything, and you need nothing else.
Psalm 102:25-27.. That’s a good verse….. – From everlasting to everlasting there is no one like Him….
All other Gods are false… There is no place for them.
God wants this reality established in our hearts,.
It is necessary to establish our hearts in the true teachings we have received.
We can ask God for strength for this.
He is the only King of your life, and He alone is to be and let Him be…..
22. God is the Supreme God, or the Most High God
– God is higher and above all creation.
– Of course God created this creation, and He is also the one who does the work of continuing this creation, and is doing it.
– At the same time God is a personal God.
– But this creation is not God, and is not a part or part of God,
– It is higher or supreme than all creation or anything else….. (which He created).
– Anyway He is in 1, and there is no other number… He is higher than all things.
– Isaiah 66:1-2 – Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. .
– We need to read this verse.
– Another verse to read – Isaiah 33:5 (a good verse)
– “Other passages”
1. Psalm 113:4-6
2. Job 11:7-8
3. Job 37:22-23

– Until God reveals Himself, He cannot be known or understood.
– Deuteronomy 29:29 ÷ Romans 11:33 ÷ Job 26:14 ÷ 1 Timothy 6:6 .
– Isaiah 55:8-9
We can find a good example in the book of Hebrews.
Hebrews 6:13, let us read and meditate and explain….
Now looking at it this way, the rulers, the brothers and other things of the world seem high,
– but God controls everything,.
– God is the essence of all things, and His will, plan, and desire succeed, and that is why He is the Most High God.
The believer also wants God to walk in this highness, …..
The high way (Isaiah 55:7-9)
The high calling (Philippians 3:4)
Pay attention to the above (Colossians 3:1) Also verse
23. God is omnipotent, or the all-sufficient God.
Meaning – God is always in Himself, and therefore He is independent, all-sufficient, or has everything in Himself, and that is sufficient, and He needs no one, and needs nothing ….
 God seeks us, while He does not need us.
 He is sufficient in what He is, all things were made by Him and through Him .. and even though He did not have those things that came to be, He is complete, and all-sufficient.

11:35-38 (सगकत चभवम ख्वाब But of course He made us, He willed us, He willed us, – for His own purpose, for His glory, and He considers us so precious, so special, so loved. – This makes the doctrine of grace so beautiful. He is not external to anything, nor does He have any debt or obligation to anyone. He is completely self-sufficient. He does not need to take anything from anyone.

Whenever He calls us to Himself, or uses us for His service,… because He has chosen to do so, (John 6:65, John 15:16)
we cannot give Him anything and do not need to give, … that is why Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:10… I am what I am, by the grace of God.
 He created, (if He did not, we would not be).
 He provided for everything,. (rain, crops, everything)
 He died, was raised, rose,.

25. God is a forgiving God,……. A forgiving God,
forgiveness means that God holds us responsible for the wages of our sins, and because Christ paid that wage in our place,. 1 John 1:9 (DV Abal Chavvam TJashk)
Some Bible passages: Daniel 9:9 (CVVV)
Jeremiah 31:34
Ephesians 1:7
Ephesians 4:32 (PVTH Khavchakb)
Colossians 2:13-14
 Jesus died for all men (or the sins of the human race).
John the Baptist says that
with the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world 1 John 2:2 John 1:29
(Believing in Jesus or not is the only big question).
 Only because of the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ does God allow us to forgive sins and be righteous… Sin has been forgiven legally or legally or justly.
This is made possible by the finished work.
Ephesians 4:32 – We are to forgive as Jesus forgave – this is the commandment.
Luke 23:34 – Jesus promised forgiveness to those who crucified Him.
– He forgave them before they asked for forgiveness, (perhaps some never asked and forgave them).
– It is impossible… how can it be,
– Stephen does the same, Acts 7:40
We have the Holy Spirit, the Word, the teachings, the examples, the new birth, the new heart, the spirit… Jesus is with us, and the power of grace makes this possible, – 1 Corinthians 11:1 Imitation of Christ, .
26. God is patient, or a patient God,
This definition is taken from 1 Peter 3:8-9:
– God withholds judgment for a while, so that,
– because he desires all men to come to the knowledge of salvation and to be saved, . .
Some biblical passages
Nehemiah 9:29-31
Psalm 145:8
Romans 2:4
1 Peter 3:20
God’s patience is also used as – slow to anger and long-suffering.
– God gives time, or is patient.
– He also gives us long-suffering after our chastisement.
We know that 1 Corinthians 13:
4 – Love bears all things,
7:7 – Bears all things,
7:7 – Endures all things…
 That is why Adam and Eve did not perish immediately after they sinned, (Abraham, David – are good examples,)
God wants us to be patient,……
– Toward God,
– In personal life and ministry,
– Toward other believers,
– Toward the world,

27. God is good, .. Good God, or God is good, .. Good God,
Mark 17:17-18 Bhītāk Chavkam (Jesus said, is,…. You call me God)

– Always has the right intention (intention, motivation).
Some passages – Psalm 34:8

2. 3 months of punishment from the enemy
3. 3 days of pestilence
28. God is indestructible, or the indestructible God
We know, “God is life”…. and the source of all other life. This indestructible nature also comes from the subject of “God is life”.
Meaning – God Himself is life. He who is life itself cannot die, that is why God Himself is indestructible.
 God is life, which life can never die, and has no end. He never loses it, since it was never given to Him.
 God’s life is eternal. God is indestructible life.
 God cannot be destroyed or destroyed.
Some verses
1 Timothy 6:16 – Only He has immortality.
1 Timothy 1:17 – Indestructible
Romans 1:23 – The glory of the indestructible God The

sovereignty of God – We have not placed this in the attribute of God… but it is found, (given)
 This refers to the work (activity) of God rather than the attribute of God, which is related to this Brahman.
– Sovereignty refers to God’s control over all of His creation.
– It refers to His rule over all creation.
– Sovereignty is His rule over all reality.
Sovereignty does not simply refer to His right to rule over His creation, but it refers to His actual control and rule over all creation.
– In general, sovereignty means “to control all things” or “to be in charge of all things.”
– Theologically, sovereignty refers to God’s complete control over all things.
