 We will study the topic “Theology”.

Study of God – We will study the true and living God from the Bible.
1. God exists.
2. Some worldly concepts.
3. Names used for God.
4. Attributes of God.
1) God exists: – How to know that God exists.
There are some natural theologies that clearly show that God exists.
1) The reason for the existence of the universe:
 It is all matter or physical things, which means that someone created it.
 Studies in Grades 1 and 2
 Different views of the world
1. Polytheism (ayathitajbhashkam): There are many limited gods in this world. There are
many
gods, gods are limited and in or within the world:
 Paganism, Hinduism and other pagan religions.
 There are main gods and gods.
Mormons are also included in this:
 Joseph Smith believes in polytheism.
 Humans can also become gods.
Answer:
 Genesis 1:1 God – Deuteronomy 6:4
 Exodus 20:2,3 – Isaiah 43:10, 11, Psalm 90:1
 Mark 12:29 (referring to Deuteronomy 6)
 1 Timothy 2:5 – 1 Corinthians 8:4
 James 2:19
2. Demonism (delusion) :
 God is beyond the world but not in it.
 God created the world and left it as it is. (Goodbye)
 God does not interfere in this world.
 Now it is in its own way.
Do not believe in signs and wonders:
Thomas Jefferson – removed all the miracles or wonders of the gospel and published it, He was a demonist.
Answer: If God created the world, then He can intervene.
(Genesis 18:14, Matthew 19:26, John 10:13, 2 Corinthians 4:6, Revelation 19:6, Psalm 119:3)
3. Limited theism (அஷ்ளஷ்ட஭ நயமஷ்கம்): God is distant from the world but is limited in power and limited in principle (there are also different views on this).
 God does not and cannot control everything.
 God does not know everything and does not know everything from beginning to end.
 God changes.
Answer: (Psalm 147:5, Job 11:7,9, Isaiah 40:12, Hebrews 2:5, Titus 1:2, Hebrews 13:8, Malachi 3:6)
4. Atheism (அதஜ஭ஷ்கம்): There is absolutely no God, but it is a religion that does not believe in God, but believes in other things.
Answer: Psalm 14:1 – Only fools say there is no God and for them the national holiday is April 1st.
 (1) General Revelation: Psalm 19, Romans 1:19,20, Romans 2:15,16
 (2) Special Revelation: Bible, Church, You and Me
6) Pantheism: Everything is God, such as Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, etc.

 The world is God and God is the world
Answer: (Genesis 1:1 God is the creator of all things. 1 Kings 8:27, Job 11:7, Psalms 8:1, 57:5, 97:9)
6. Materialism (Abelbhalatajbhashkam): God is in everything.
 Just as life is in the body.
 The universe is God’s body and God is life.
 God is ever changing.
Answer: Numbers 23:19, Psalms 102:25,27, Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 6:18, James 1:17, Matthew 5:48 The world is weakening, science says.
If so, God is also weakening and will one day end.
God Exists:
 Some logical arguments for the existence of God.
 There are no logical arguments for atheism and evolution.
 These three main arguments present the existence of God on very logical and reasonable grounds.
The three main arguments:
1. The argument for the existence of the universe: 
 The sun and stars are getting weaker.
 Science presents this reality.
 The sun is consuming billions of tons of fuel every second.
 And the sun cannot last forever and it had a beginning.
 We can see this kind of reality in the entire universe.
 At one time, evolution said that the universe was eternal, but now it has changed.
 It had a beginning and it needs a very powerful person to start it and only the God of the Bible is capable of it.
 The universe had a beginning.
 Science also presents it.
 If there was a beginning, then someone started it.
1. Eternal, powerful, omniscient – God
How many can argue that who created God???
 If someone created God, then He was not God.
 Saying that everything has a beginning does not mean that God also has a beginning.
 The Bible makes it very clear that “God is outside of time”.
 He is eternal who has no beginning and no end.
 He is completely eternal.
Answer: (Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 32:40, 33:27, Psalm 48:14, John 1:1, Colossians 1, Hebrews 13:8, 2 Peter 3:8, Ephesians 1:4)
2. The argument for having a design (tbhbhiyyayinashab ibchanagmbhataka) The meaning of having a design.
(a) The universe has a shape, design or design, which means that there is someone who shapes it and who is very intelligent and skilled.
The earth rotates on its axis at an inclination of 23.5 degrees – which determines the 4 seasons.
It takes 24 hours to complete one rotation, which causes day and night. This is the time of day.
The atmosphere has a precise thickness and structure that blocks radiation and makes life possible.
Someone who creates or shapes it must be a creator and there is.
Some examples,
1. Dictionary (mshatshyalabachath)
2. Example of a clock Dhishbal Abvith The person who started this debate
3. Example of a picture .. Must be a painter … or a person who paints ..
Just like there is a photo,
 there is a camera
 a painter
 a person who takes the picture…. There was no era of selfies
4. Great Wall, car, ship, computer, house, mobile etc. You
boarded a ship
– you assembled the parts of the ship yourself. If someone said
– I thought someone must have assembled it well.
Basic Truth Pages 114 and 115 Qvb Balam Chvbambam
(b) Another thing is the structure and structure of the creature:
 The human brain is the most modern, more modern than today’s state-of-the-art computers.
 There are 12 billion neurons in the human brain or brain, each neuron is connected to thousands of other neurons, this is beyond our imagination and is within us.
 Which makes the functioning of the brain amazing.
Darwin said this about the human eye,
where did the power of thinking, conscience, awareness, emotion, love, nature or temperament come from?
“If you say that the eye was formed by natural selection, I admit that I have reached the highest point of stupidity.”
Psalm 139:14 says,
“I will praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works.” When we look
at God’s creation, we see…  The human body has billions, trillions of cells, which were considered the smallest part.  But within this cell, scientists have seen the cell that determines the form of the creature.  It contains so much information, there is enough information in one human body to travel around the earth and the moon 70 times.  We are wonderfully made. We can only find the intelligent, wise God who can explain this in the Bible. There is a creator and the creator has a purpose. Colossians 1:15, 18, Ephesians 1:4 also say that you have flown in an airplane and now someone says that this plane was built by himself. 3. Morality debate (यचवष्ठिथ, यचव बिचन्गमभलत) : Cain and Abel .. brothers were working .. Cain hit Abel from behind and killed him.  Who and how will I tell .. Cain did wrong.  If I go and tell him, he will kill me too.  There is a moral law that distinguishes right from wrong.  If there is a moral law, there is a higher person who gives moral laws. Everyone knows that there is a moral law, and there is someone who gives a higher moral law. The God of the Bible is righteous, holy, jealous.  God says Cain, did you do wrong or did you kill?  If there is a moral system, it is God who gives that system, otherwise who will determine it?  If Moses himself made the law saying “You shall not kill”.  If someone kills, Moses must have said so or who is Moses, how can Moses say so?  If that is the case, then let Moses be killed.  But God gives the law “You shall not kill”.  If someone commits murder, it is God who gives the law.

 Rape, murder, stealing, lying – how is it wrong, because there is a higher moral system…
 If there is a moral system..
 There is someone who gives that system and
 He is God.
Conclusion:
 There is God, He created everything, He sustains everything, He is an eternal God without time limits.
 Something has happened in everything that happens.
 If you are, you have parents, grandparents, and ancestors.
 If your leg is broken, something has happened.
 There is a reason for all these things around you to happen.
 Of course there is no infinite cause.
 Someone or something began, who must be infinite and eternal without time limits. And
 That can only be God.
 Only the Bible tells about that God.
 The Bible and the God of the Bible are true and exist.

In this class we will study the doctrine of the “Trinity”.
 This is a very important doctrine and we need to know about it. And it is necessary to study.
 Let us remember that we do not find the word Trinity in the Bible and yet we find that the Bible clearly teaches it.
1. The first point is – the Bible declares that God is one.
(a) Unity – There are not two or more Gods.
(b) Generality – There are not two or more parts in God.
(c) Trinity – There are three persons in one God.
(Know these three concepts).
The Bible declares in various passages that God is one.
This means unity.
 Deuteronomy 6:4 ÷ Exodus 20:3 ÷ Isaiah 44:6 ÷ Isaiah 45:18 ÷ Mark 12:29 ÷ 1 Corinthians 4:8 ÷ Ephesians 4:6 ÷ 1 Timothy 2:5 ÷ James 2:19 ..
 These passages clearly state that God is one and only, but not more than one God.
1. Rejects polytheism – many believe that there are many gods, but the Bible rejects this.
2. There are not three separate Gods, not three Gods, but one God.
3. The Bible rejects idolatry, and that is a sin that God hates.
There are three Gods.
 The Lord is one God in three persons and three persons in one God. Each person is distinct (separate) and equal in all natures or essences. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
1. The Father is called God.
 Romans 1:7, Galatians 1:1, John 20:17, John 6:27, 1 Peter 1:2 and other passages make it clear that the Father is God, there is no doubt about this.
2. The Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) is addressed as God.
 John 1:1,14 ÷ John 20:28 (Thomas said, “My Lord!” and “My God!”)
 Jesus claimed to be Yahweh. (John 8:58)
 Colossians 1:15-18 ÷ 1 John 5:20
 We will study more in the Christian scriptures.
3. The Holy Spirit is addressed as God.
 Acts 5:3-4 ÷ 1 Corinthians 2:10 ÷ Genesis 1:2
– The Father is a person. – A person with whom.
– The Son is a person. – Has a mind, will and thoughts or feelings who can think, can.
– The Holy Spirit is a person. – Chooses and feels.

 The Old Testament also tells us about the Triune God.
1. Elohim (throughout the Old Testament, including Genesis 1:1)
is in the plural form in the plural form. This indicates that there is only one God in three persons.
 Used 2,570 times. (2,310 times for the true God)
El ( Ḥḍ) (Eloha) is the plural form of Elohim
Elohim – indicating the plural but meaning one word.
An important verse is Deuteronomy 6:4 – Hear, O Israel;
The LORD – Yahweh
our God – Elohim
One – Ḥaḍbām “Ikhat” – one or one (indicating unity)
One – Ḥaḍbām yakhīd – sole, 1
Genesis 22:2
Now let us briefly study this word.
The word “Ikhat” – one – shows unity.
For example, in Genesis 2:24,
Adam and Eve are one body – one word –
meaning unity.
Deuteronomy 6:4 – one word (Ikhat) – shows unity.
Elohim – indicates plural and word (Ikhat) – indicates unity.
 The teaching of the Trinity is clear.
But the word “Yakhid” – indicates only one.
For example, in Genesis 22:2 – Abraham, sacrifice your “only” son, your unborn son.
Amos 8:10 – Like the lament for an only son – Jeremiah 6:26, Zechariah 12:10)
Deuteronomy 6:4
makes it clear that there is one God and a Triune God.
Not just Elohim but…
“We see the words that say”
– Genesis 1:26 – We humans in our image
 And here “Elohim” is speaking.
 We, our plural omniscience
Some call this God and angels – but that is not biblical.
 We cannot see Him manifested in such an image.
 He does not share His glory.
Similarly, – Genesis 3:22 – Behold, man is one of “us” Genesis
11:7 – Come, let us go down.
Isaiah 6:8 – Who will be our trap?
(The doctrine of the Triune God is clear).
Verses that introduce the same persons (Old Testament)
Psalm 45:6-8 – Psalm 110:1
Isaiah 63:7-10 – ἀχυχάτω νύαμα εἰχατυσίαλακη
 The most clarifying verse in the Old Testament is.. Isaiah 61:1
 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah
 On me – Jesus Christ: Luke 4:18
 The Lord
 Now let’s look at the contribution of the New Testament.
The New Testament also makes it clear that there is one God in three persons.
1. Matthew 3:16-17 – We can see the Trinity at the time of Jesus’ baptism.
2. Matthew 28:19 – Baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. 2 Corinthians 13:14 – It can also be seen.
Other New Testament passages – (John 14:26 ÷ Acts 11:15-18 ÷ Romans 5:5-10 ÷ Romans 8:2-4 ÷ Romans 8:14-17 ÷ Hebrews 9:14).
 Jesus – taught about the Father.
 Jesus – said that he was God, the Messiah.
 Jesus – taught about sending the Holy Spirit.
Jesus also taught about the Trinity.
Biblical definition of the Trinity:
 Ignoring the Trinity and emphasizing only the unity leads to monotheism – which is a false teaching.
 Ignoring the Trinity and emphasizing only the unity leads to monotheism (Mormonism) – which is a false teaching.
1. The basic concept of the Trinity is that God exists in three persons and the three persons are one God.
Each person is distinct but not separate – cannot be separated) and is one in every nature and element.
2. The doctrine of the Trinity is not taken from a single verse but from the entire Bible. It is a doctrine that states the following:
 That there is one God, not three, and that one God exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. But one God eternally exists in three persons, – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is infinite, eternal, and omnipotent.
Examples: There is no perfect example, but there are some good and bad examples.
 Let’s look at the bad first…
1. Three forms of water – solid (ice), liquid and gas
but it is water.. just three forms of the same thing..
2. Three joints of a chain – it can be separated.
3. Example of an egg – has three parts: yolk, white and shell
 has three parts but is the same part
4. Structure of a period – body, soul and spirit
 These are the parts of a person.
5. A person playing three roles – like father, mother, son
 shows that there are three people.
But some good examples:
(Not perfect)
 There is no perfect example and
it cannot be.  If it happens, it is God, which cannot happen.
(1) Triangle – This is the best example so far… presents a good concept or picture.
(2) 1m1 is not 1.3 but 1×1×1. 1 is .. This is also a supporting example..
3. Love:
 God is love, (1 John 4:16) and love consists of three elements.
 The lover, the loved, and the spirit of love.
4. Mind, means, and words,
 They are all distinct but one…
5. Time: present, past, and future.
Now some misconceptions (called Christian)
1. Trinitarianism – This says that there are three Gods, leading to polytheism, Mormons believe this.
2. Deism – There is only one God, and that one God plays three roles. That is what the Bible believes.
3. Bi-Natalism – There are only two persons in God: the Son and the Father
.  The Holy Spirit is not a person but a Spirit.

The doctrine of the Trinity is a historical doctrine.
 It is clear in the books of the apostles and the New Testament.
 It was also taught by the early pastors of the church age.
 It was also confirmed by various councils.
 It continues to exist forever.
Conclusion:
1. There is only one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4)
2. The Bible calls God three persons.
 The Father is God.
 The Son is God.
 The Holy Spirit is God.
3. These three persons are distinct persons.
 The Father is a person .
 The Son is a person.
 The Holy Spirit is a person.
4. Therefore, there are three persons in one God, – the Trinity God….

“Attributes of God”
Attributes mean: There are certain characteristics that indicate the character of God – the most important characteristics of God…
 The entire teaching of the Bible is derived from the attributes of God.
 This subject should be known by every believer. And
 This subject must be studied.
 Each attribute must be preached and taught one by one.
 If you want to know God and know more, study the attributes of God.
 From these attributes we know that the God of the Bible is the only living and true God. All others are false gods.
 We know about the true God and identify false gods.
 Whether we study these attributes or not affects our spiritual growth.
 The supreme goal of man’s entire life is to know God and fear Him. Solomon says at the end of Ecclesiastes. Let’s read…
 The attributes of God affect our thinking, our words, and our actions.
 Idols leave and the true God has a place.
In reality, we cannot and should not separate these attributes from one another.
 All of God’s attributes are important and He never reveals them in a way that contradicts each other.
 But as we study, we will study them one by one.
 If you have any questions, you can ask them openly without hesitation.
Studying these attributes makes it very easy for us to understand other things or topics.
 For example – His plan, purpose, will, calling… etc. etc.
 How many attributes of God are there… Let’s study 28… Now there may be more than that, but that’s all we can see in the Bible.
 We only know what He has revealed and that is enough.
 We are limited and He is unlimited.
God’s character plays a huge role in determining truth and falsehood.
For example, let’s read 1 John 4:1…
The false prophet does things that contradict God’s attributes.
As we know – to find out what is true and what is false.
1. Is it biblical, rather than what is right or wrong, is it biblical, is it according to the Bible, or does it contradict the Bible and the teachings of the Bible?
2. Does it agree with God’s attributes or contradict them?
 The Holy Spirit gives us this power.
That is why it is so important to study God’s attributes.
We see the Pharisees, the scribes, and the Sadducees in the New Testament.
These groups probably began in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. And they may have developed and later became organized.
 By that time, the Israelites knew why they had been taken captive by the Gentiles at various times?
 Idolatry and Sabbath-breaking were the main reasons why they had turned away from the true God and repeatedly refused to return to Him.
 The Pharisees began to study the law in order not to repeat the same mistakes of their ancestors – in a good way) but became very strict (Matthew 23:30-32).
We know that Jesus shows their extreme orthodoxy in Matthew 23. Matthew 23 and 23.
1. Matthew 22:29 – You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures and the power of God.
 What the Bible says is very important.
2. Matthew 23:23 – They do not teach light things.
Justice, mercy, faithfulness
 The attributes of God and other light things..
1. Orthodox … If
2. Over-spirituality or over-spirituality What is over-spirituality?
 Not looking at the context of the Bible, and elevating your own feelings above the Word and the things of God.
 I say what the Bible says is right.
 Because I am an apostle, a prophet, a great speaker, I went to heaven …
 They say things that contradict the Bible and the attributes of God, .
 They say that I heard from God, I am the final authority.
 The Holy Spirit speaks according to the Word.
 Polygamy, they talk about visions of others, they put people down and elevate themselves, they claim to give the Holy Spirit, they try to control.
 All the people – are hypocrites (maybe they have not been saved many times).
 They do the exact opposite of what the Bible says – prophets “re” speak prophecies.
 They talk about things that contradict the character of God.
 Losing salvation, etc.
 Protect yourself from orthodoxy and extreme spirituality.
 We need to study and teach the attributes of God and preach.
 The Word has been prepared for 28 Saturdays.
 Even more time can be given than that.
 And it comes in every preaching and teaching.
The attributes and characters of God are divided in various ways, but we will mainly look at two divisions.
1. 20 lyals – the attributes of Jehovah
2. 6 moral qualities
3. 5 physical – moral qualities
4. 3 moral qualities
I will explain in the next section.
There is another division.
1. Communicable and (14)
2. Communicable (14)
We will look
at the qualities in the rest of today’s section.
(1) God is Spirit and (2) God is Life.
First..
1. God is Spirit – God is pure Spirit, He is completely Spirit. He has no body. The essential nature of God is that He is Spirit. Materiality and temporality do not make God. (Numbers 23:19)
 But Jesus took on a human body.
 Because God is Spirit, He is invisible, He cannot be seen with the physical eye or in any way. John 1:18; Colossians 1:15; 1 Timothy 1:17; 1 Timothy 6:14-16; 1 John 1:1-2.
 Since God is invisible and spirit, there is no idol for Him and cannot be made. That is why making an idol is a great sin and the first commandment. (Exodus 20:4).
 Because it cannot be made, that is why God hates idolatry and idolatry also has a spiritual practical meaning.
 God is invisible and when He wants to reveal Himself, He has revealed Himself in Christ in both the Old and New Testaments.
 God is Spirit, some verses in this context:
1. Let’s read John 4:23-24
 Jesus gives this important teaching while talking to the Samaritan woman.
 Spirit and Truth ….. Worship
Other passages – Genesis 1:1 ÷ Exodus 20:4, 33:20 ÷ 1 Kings 8:27 ÷ Isaiah 66:1-2 ÷ Luke 24:39 ÷ John 1:18 ÷ Romans 1:20 ÷ Colossians 1:15 ÷ 1 Timothy 1:17 ÷ Hebrews 11:27.

2. God is life.
Meaning: (1) God is alive or the living life. From eternity to eternity.
(2) He is the source of all other life.
The biblical meaning of life is – a living person, the source of life, a living, moving, flowing, real or never dying.
Now – God has life in Himself, He is life.
 All other lives are His gift.
 Only from one living thing comes another living thing. Life does not come from non-existent life.
1. God is alive.
Numbers 14:28/Joshua 3:10/Psalm 42:2/Daniel 6:20/12:7 Matthew 16:16/John 6:57/14:12 Acts 14:15/2 Corinthians 3:3/Revelation 1:18 Many other passages.
2. God is the source of life.
Genesis 1:27/Genesis 1 and 2/God created everything.
Genesis 7:4/Deuteronomy 32:39/Matthew 22:31-32/John 10:7-10.
3. Only God is resurrected.
 Jesus took on human form.
 Died in humanity.
 Was resurrected.
 In God all saints will be made alive. (John 5:25)
 John 11:25-26
4. Jesus is the water and bread of life.
 John 4:10-11/John 6:51
5. He is the source or fountain of the living word.
 Acts 7:38/Hebrews 4:12/1 Peter 4:5/The inspired word.
 He is also the one who sustains all life.
 Colossians 1:17/Isaiah 42:5
 God is the giver and taker of life.
 Daniel 5:23/Psalm 139:16
 Eternal life – the life of Jesus Christ
 Life that has no change
 Christ is eternal life
 Only He can give.
In Greek:
1. Dysyaka – 1 Timothy 2:2, 1 John 3:16 (Dysyayainatha word only)
 Physical life, life of breath or life of the body.
2. Shiva – Eternal life, saved life
 Life from God
 Blessed life (Romans 12:1-2) is sometimes used for physical life only.
 Resurrected life (Romans 11:15)
 Spiritual life. (Romans 8:6)
The world, the worldly believer – is full of visible life.
But God is the living – He is alive.
 He has shared that life with us (with the believer) with the unbeliever only visible.
 That life lasts forever, and we will never die.

3. In the third attribute of God, we will study the topic of “God is perfect” or it can also be called “God’s perfection”.
We can read one verse – Matthew 5:48 Amazing verse
definition and meaning – God is morally perfect. God never fails morally. He is infinitely perfect.
 Perfectly God is perfect and lacks nothing. God never makes a mistake or error. He is always perfectly right and exact. He is perfectly excellent.
The word perfection can be found in 6 words in Hebrew.
1. Tamim – perfect, genuine, faultless, perfect, flawless.
2. Salem – perfect, secure, flawless.
3. Tem – perfect, flawless, perfect.
4. Tamam – perfect, complete or entire and flawless.
5. Amen – perfect, trustworthy.
6. Kalel – whole or entire, perfect.
The word perfect is mainly used in Greek with 4 words.
1) Telios – perfect, perfect, mature.
2) Telio – to complete, to keep complete, to make perfect something.
3) Teliatus – completeness, perfection.
4) Katarinzho – to complete, to make perfect.
Explanation:
 1. God’s works are perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4) We need to be involved in His works.
 2. God’s ways are perfect (2 Samuel 22:31) We should seek His perfect way – not our own.
 3. God’s Word is perfect. (Psalm 18:30)

 We follow God, or the perfect God.
 We imitate those who follow God, but even people are not perfect…. We look to Jesus and others in the finished work. (Hebrews 12:1-2 and 2 Corinthians 5:13-15)
2) The Principle of Perfection or Maturity (James 1:4, Colossians 4:12)
 We are perfect in Christ, just as He is perfect.
 We are becoming perfect.. Day by day we are becoming and should be becoming more mature.
 Not only spiritual but maturity, since it is also very important to be spiritual.
3. Now we are entering into another attribute “God is eternal” or the eternity of God.
Some meanings and definitions:  There is no time limit in God.
Genesis 1:1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
 Time began from this time and will one day end.
 Time has a beginning but God has no beginning. 
He is eternal. 
God has always existed before time began.

 He has no beginning and no end.
 God began everything, but God Himself is always. 1 Timothy 6:16 ÷ Isaiah 41:4 ÷ Hebrews 13:3.
 God is always in Himself. (He is controlled by someone) Isaiah 40:13-14 ÷ Acts 17:24-28
 God is limited by time. – Psalm 90:1-4
 And God can be trusted,. – Psalm 145:4, 13…
God is eternal: We have eternal life.
1. Angels, people have a beginning, but now they will continue forever.
2. God is eternal, and His plan is eternal.
3. We are in the eternal plan of the eternal God.
 We are in a time now, but with this time we are in an eternal plan.

 We are also in the present, but we are in an eternal plan, all of us.
 Time spent for the glory of God now lasts forever. This means we must have an eternal perspective and focus on eternity.
 Live for the things of this world, which perish, or live for the eternal God.
John 8:58 – Before Abraham was, I was.
Read Psalm 90:2…
Isaiah 57:15
1 Corinthians 2:7 – He foreknew.
John 17:5 – And now, Father, glorify me with the glory I had with you before the world was.
Read 2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:2,… – In hope of eternal life, God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began.
(Beginning – refers to time)
John 1:3÷Colossians 1:16÷Jude 25.

So far we have studied four attributes of God.
1. God is Spirit. – God’s immateriality)
2. God is life.
3. God is perfect, and
4. God is eternal.
Now in this class we will study the other 3 attributes.
5. God is wise.
6. God is light.
7. God is unchangeable.
First the 5th attribute – God is wise.
 God is infinitely wise.
The common Hebrew word for wisdom – ריזאפבם (wisdom) and the Greek word קויזבא (skill) – both refer to intelligence and skill.
Wisdom means – to take in knowledge of truth.
Wisdom means – to apply knowledge to one’s life or to put knowledge into practice.
When God is wise it refers to God’s ability to make perfect or flawless choices to bring about the best or most perfect end.
 His omniscience informs His wise choices.
 His love ensures that His choices are good.
 His omniscience enables Him to achieve the best possible outcome.
 Only God understands all things, and knows how to use them efficiently, effectively, and correctly to accomplish His will in life.
God is wise, He is also called wisdom.
Ezra 7:25 – According to the wisdom of your God which is in your hand.
 God communicates His wisdom.
 We have some of His wisdom.
 Job 12:13 – With Him is wisdom and might: with Him are counsel and understanding.
 Daniel 2:20 – Wisdom and might are His.
 Luke 11:49 – God spoke His wisdom.
 Romans 16:27 – Glory to God the only wise.

 The words of God are wise.
 Psalm 19:7 – The word of God makes the simple wise.
 Jeremiah 8:9 – Wisdom does not come without the word of God and the book of Proverbs.

as we can see in 1 Kings 3.
 In verse 9 he asks…
 In verse 10 – God was pleased with this request.
 In verse 12 – He gave all wisdom and understanding. 
In verse 13 – He also gave other things.
 Today we too need to ask the only wise God for wisdom. 
Every pastor needs to ask for His flock.
 For preaching and teaching and leadership.
 He is pleased… if someone asks for wisdom.
 He gives it, and with it a bonus.
 Our prayers should also be for wisdom.
 James 1:5 – But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask.
 Who doesn’t have it? Do you want it?
 Let him ask God
 He doesn’t give without asking, we ask through prayer
 Every student, pastor, leader, believer, missionary
 God gives freely.
 Like Solomon .. He gives to us too.
 And he does not grudge but is happy 1 Kings 3:10
 And it will be given to him, the promise.
His promise is, it is, Amen….. 2 Corinthians 1:20

Heavenly and earthly wisdom – Read at home from James 3:13-18
God’s works are wise.
Psalm 104:24 – How wonderful are your works, you have made them in your wisdom.
Proverbs 3:19 – God made all things by his wisdom.
Jeremiah 10:12 – ….
Hosea 14:9 – There is no one as wise as him.
God is the source of all wisdom.
Proverbs 2:6 – The Lord gives wisdom.
Genesis 41:39, 1 Kings 3:28, 1 Kings 4:29, 2 Chronicles 2:12, Daniel 2:23,
Ecclesiastes 2:26 – God gives wisdom.
Luke 2:40, Ephesians 1:17, Colossians 1:9, 2:3, James 1:5, 1 Peter 3:15, 1 Kings 3:9.

Now “God is light” or “the light of God” (John 1:4-5)
 The Bible declares that God is light.
 He is the Holy Spirit light, (John 4:24)
 He is not physical light but God made physical light, (Genesis 1:3) (Isaiah 45:7)
The main Hebrew word for light – ביאככאק (meir) – to receive light, to shine, to illuminate, to give light, to illuminate.
Some Greek words:
עזיק – light, having light, the element and realm of heaven, light, pure and simple.
Ajayakaujayachayaka (bright and morning star, bringer of light, having light and giving light (2 Peter 1:19).
Ajayatbhaslayaka (bright, shining, piercing light (Matthew 17:5).
Ajayatsnaya – to illuminate, to give light, to shine (Revelation 21:13, 22:5).
Now these words in the sense of God – God is pure light, the great illuminator, He is very glorious and He is the giver of light.
God is spiritual light: Whenever light is used as an attribute of God: it indicates that God is purely spiritual light.
 2 Samuel 22:29, Isaiah 2:5, Isaiah 10:17, Isaiah 60:19-20, Micah 7:8.
 Psalm 4:6 – Let the light of Your face shine upon me.
 Psalm 27:1 – The Lord is my light and my salvation.
 Isaiah 60:19-20 – There is no need for physical light before God, Revelation 22:5.
God is the great illuminator: God is light, referring to His character, through which He reveals the true knowledge of Himself and reveals His salvation and His moral righteousness, (Matthew 17:5).
 I am the light of the world (John 8:12, 9:5, 12:46)
 1 Timothy 6:16, 2 Peter 1:19, 1 John 1:5, 1 John 1:7
 Revelation 21:23, 22:5
He is the most glorious :
Exodus 13:21-Isaiah 60:1
God gives spiritual light.
 He is the source of light.
 Psalm 13:13, 19:8, 27:1, 2 Corinthians 4:4
1. Jesus calls believers or disciples or us light.
Matthew 5:13-16 (Mark 4:21-23, Luke 8:13-18)
 Like the sun and moon.
 In some ways we reveal His light to the world.
 We are not the source but the reflection.
 The gospel and biblical life – not the moral life but the spiritual life)
 In some ways God’s character is revealed through us.
2. The Word of God is called light, (Psalm 119:105).
 It shows me the way to walk.
 It shows my path.
 The Word also reveals Him and His glory.
3. We are told to walk in the light – 1 John 1:7 Now what does it mean to walk in the light?
7.) God is unchanging.
 God never changes in His nature.
 Nothing can be added or subtracted from God.
 Everything except God is changeable.
 The world, you, me
 From good to bad and from bad to good
 From small to big and from big to small
 We change and this is sometimes good in a spiritual sense, because we turn to God.
 A loving God is not unloving.
God hates and condemns evil and wickedness.
Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8: Let’s read…
 If God changes in His character and nature from day to day, He cannot be trusted, He never changes.
 No one can change God in your case.
 He cannot be changed by bribery, coaxing, or threatening in any way.
 He (God) never changes from Himself.
 He increases and does not decrease, does not increase.
 He is perfect in holiness and does not need to be a little more holy or a little less holy and does not.
 God’s promises do not change and are fulfilled.
Some Bible passages:
 Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Psalm 102:27, Hebrews 1:10-12, James 1:17.
 These passages clearly state that God does not change, not that God cannot change.
 God always acts in unity with His character.
 God does not change with feelings and circumstances. Ezekiel 24:14
 God’s nature and work are always constant.
We can change, in some things unchanged and in some things changed.
 Do not change the doctrine.
 Spiritual umbrella (of course we are not children of fornication)
 Do not change the church, (only two reasons.. calling and wrong teaching)
 Do not change the thought of the finished work and grace.
 The Bible does not change, neither does it add nor subtract.
We change
 From bad to good.
 From the world to God.
 Return to God.

8. God is omniscient, or the omniscience of God.
 God knows everything – past, present and future. 
He knows everything that is real and knows everything that is possible.
 God knows everything and understands everything.
 Events and people past, present, future, possibilities, what is now, what may happen, what will happen, everything
is known.  There is also foreknowledge, predestination.
 Nothing is far from God’s knowledge. (Job 28:23-24)
 God knows everything perfectly.
 God cannot be surprised, cannot be surprised.
 God is prepared for everything in advance.
Let’s read Psalm 139:1-6… It explains it very well.
Genesis 6:5 God knows all the thoughts of man.
Job 21:22 Can anyone teach God?
Job 36:4 God is perfect in knowledge.
Job 36:16
Psalm 139:17-18 can also be known.
Isaiah 46:10 God’s plan and purpose remain.
Isaiah 42:9 All is in His omniscience.
Matthew 6:8 The Father knows our needs in advance.
Matthew 10:29-30 He even knows the number of hairs on the head.
Romans 11:33÷8:29÷Ephesians 1:11÷Hebrews 4:13.
 The prophecies of the Bible are accurate and true, only the omniscient God knows them, and He revealed them to His servants.
 God’s promises are made beautiful by His omniscience.
 He knows all the facts of my life, while I do not know, relying on Him is the best reality.
 He knows my future, there is no need for worry, anxiety, fear.
 He knows my mental tensions, my pain, tears and needs and I keep them with Him through prayer.
 He can protect me from danger, only I follow Him and remain in His perfect will.
 God has perfect knowledge and He does not need to learn anything. God has never learned and does not need to learn.
 God can teach us, how to live this life, live in eternity and teach us the mysteries.
 It is a very good thing to follow the God who has all knowledge.
(I am going to a place where I have never been, but if I follow a person who has been to that place, traveled to that place or has all the information about that place, how beautiful will it make my journey).
9th Character – He is omnipresent, or the omnipresence of God.
 God is present everywhere or everywhere at once.
 There is no place where God is not.
 There is nothing far or beyond God.
 God is everywhere, but it is important to understand that God is not everywhere.
For example – pagans believe that,
 God is everywhere and start worshipping bridges, mountains and created things.
 But this is never the case.
 God is everywhere, a good word is present all at once.
 God has no parts, and cannot be here and not there.
 He cannot be divided.. Therefore God is omnipresent everywhere at once.
Let’s read Psalm 139:7-12 …….
Bible passages: 1 Kings 8:27, Psalm 95:3-5,
Jeremiah 23:23-24, Matthew 6:6,
Acts 17:27-28, Colossians 1:17,
Hebrews 1:3, Revelation 4:11
 God sees everything at all times.
 Matthew 28:20 – He is with us always.
 I will never leave you nor forsake you – He is the omnipresent God.

So far we have studied 9 attributes and characteristics of God.
1. God is Spirit.
2. God is life.
3. God is perfect.
4. God is eternal.
5. God is wise.
6. God is light.
7. God is unchanging.
8. God is omniscient.
9. God is omnipresent.
Today we will study 5 to 6 other attributes and characteristics of God.
10 God is omnipotent.
11. God is love.
12. God is true.
13. God is merciful.
14. God is an angry God.
15. God is infinite.
In today’s class, we will study these 6 attributes, characters and nature of God, which will be very amazing classes. 10. God is omnipotent – This
is also a very important character of God. In English it is ( אמלשוויטבהאב
ימלשון
( בי (
עטבלאת
בהלשון

 It does not mean that God can do things that contradict Himself.
For example – He cannot lie, (Titus 1:2) – God is too powerful to lie.
 He does not change, (Malachi 3:6) – He is too powerful to change.
 He cannot sin, (do evil or do anything bad) – (Habakkuk 1:13-14).
 God does not interfere with free will.
 God does not do anything that contradicts His character, nature, and attributes, because He is Almighty God.
 God being Almighty,
 does not mean that He must do and does everything that He can, because He is the only wise God. It goes with wisdom.
 He can do everything that is possible, nothing is impossible with Him and God can do nothing.
 When God works or does anything, we can find a wonderful unity in these characters, qualities and attributes and there is no contradiction.
As mentioned earlier – one of the names of God is “El-Shaddai”.
 Which means God is Almighty.
Genesis 17:1 – Let’s read… A very good verse (El-Shaddai)
 God makes a covenant with Abraham and God is Almighty to fulfill it.
 When Abraham was 99 years old… at a time that seems impossible.
 God’s promises are unchangeable as He is, and He fulfilled them for Abraham.
 The Greek word for this word is used in the New Testament, which we find used only for God, (some verses: 2 Corinthians 6:18, Revelation 1:8, Revelation 4:8, Revelation 11:17, Revelation 15:3, 16:7,14, 19:6,15, 21:22.
Other important passages in the Bible that speak about God’s omnipotence.
 Job 37:23 – Read the verse (other verses 11:7-11)
 Revelation 1:8 – That God is omnipotent.
 Genesis 28:3-4 – God is omnipotent.
 Job 40:2, Revelation 19:15, 15:3, Job 31:2, Psalm 147:3 and many other verses.
 God is omnipotent, – God has all power in Himself and exercises all power, along with might and strength.
 There is nothing that God cannot accomplish.
 And He can handle all things perfectly.
 I get strength from Him to change my circumstances.
 He is almighty to fulfill all His promises, even if it seems impossible, it will be fulfilled, the Almighty has promised.
 God is able to change everything in my family, church, and my own life.
 We can rely on Him.
Now let’s look at the 11th quality or character:
11. God is love or God’s love (Love is not God but God is love)
This is a difficult subject to define, I have not seen a clear definition of love until now because God is love, that is enough. But we will try.
 The closest Hebrew word to love in the Old Testament is – (azhbhav).
 Which means “goodness or goodness,” affection, good reputation, loving, compassionate.
 We find the New Testament to be even clearer.
In Greek – we know, there are 4 words and we know that 3 are used in the New Testament.
(1) Eros – refers to the love, relationship, intimacy between a husband and wife. This love is not used in the New Testament.
(2) Storge – family love.
(3) Phileo – love between friends.
– Peter uses it. (John 21:14)
First time Jesus – Jesus Agape – Peter Phileo
Second time – Jesus Agape – Peter Phileo
Third time – Jesus Phileo – Peter Phileo
These three loves are right but cannot be perfected due to selfishness and sinful nature….
 Bhakya – When used incorrectly, it causes discord.
 Storge – Also not perfect…. Can cause strife and cannot last forever.
 Phileo – When used incorrectly, it can cause enmity….
 Because these words do not describe the love of God.
 Agape – Beloved – The word “love” is used, which only God can do, we first need to receive or accept from Him.
 Agape love is perfect, it does not fail.
 Self-giving
 Selfless
 Unconditional
 Unchangeable
 God’s love beyond understanding
 Unwavering
When, Agape love – reigns over the other three loves, all those other three loves are also beautiful…
1. And the Bible declares that
God is love in 1 John 4:8 as well as in verse 16.
2. Love comes from God. (1 John 4:7)
4:19 – Because He first loved us.
4:10 – He loved us.
3. A perfect example of love is the cross – 1 John 4:10
4. His love has been poured out on us. (Perhaps in some significant and necessary measure)
Romans 5:5 – God’s love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
5. Now we can love one another with His love.
John 13:34 – Not just a new commandment
– ​​but the only commandment (the other commandments begin with this)
– 1 John 4:7-21 is important to read.
Some other passages on love
are 1. Isaiah 63:9, Zechariah 3:17
2. Jeremiah 31:3, Hosea 3:1, Hosea 11:4
3. John 3:16, Romans 5:5,8 Romans 8:35-39, Ephesians 2:4-5÷ Ephesians 3:19÷ Titus 3:4÷ 1 Corinthians 13: and many other
gods of other religions do not have this quality…..
 The God of the Bible or the true God is perfect, holy, and righteous in love.
 Makes a very different…… The God and teachings of the Bible
 This topic needs to be preached…… More deeply,
it is necessary to preach every concept of love in 1 Corinthians 13 and other passages…….
 In every situation, it is necessary to know that.
 – God is love.
– And He loves me….

12. God is completely true.
 The Hebrew word for truth is – בחמבטז which means “steadfast, lasting, trustworthy, all-accessible, correct”.
 The Greek word – בחיטזבטזב – 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 טזבגטז בלאמ טזבגטז…
 טזב טזב טזב טזבגטז (truth) is not ב טזבגטז or טזבגטז but
 טזב טזבגטז – many other things are true and But God is the only true God.
 That is, God is true in every way, in every form.
 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…

10. Psalm 86:11 – We must walk in the truth.
11. 1 Samuel 12:24 – We must serve in the truth.
12. We must continually study his truth (word).
2 Timothy 2:15- John 17:17
13. We must worship in truth. – John 4:24
14. We should pray with truth and guidance. (Psalm 25:4-5)
9 च्वबम अच्यम आयुथ द्दग तजगतज बलम…….0
13. Is God Merciful or a Merciful God?
We will also look at grace in a moment.
Grace – gives what we do not deserve. (Heaven, Christ, life)
Mercy – does not give what we deserve. (Hell, judgment)
– and protects us from the consequences of sin.
– When we sin.. we deserve death but grace covers us.. which is new every morning.
 God in His mercy withholds what we deserve (justice) because of our sin.
 What we cannot earn or achieve in our own strength…….
The Hebrew Old Testament uses several words for grace. Why are we studying these words? Because the Bible clearly teaches…
1.
2. כבאזבאטז – 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 nature of peace ÷ also of man and of Christ.
2. בבייקאם – This word is used of one man showing mercy to another.
It is also used of God showing mercy to man.
3. ישפטשקאם – 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. To gain the king’s favor. (Ezra 7:28-9:9)
6. To answer 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 mercy is unfailing, unchanging, eternal and manifest. 1 John 2:2 This is a very big subject (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 – have been left out… – very heavy… 14. God is an angry God… Meaning – The meaning of God’s wrath refers to His hatred and anger towards sin. (It refers to His anger and hatred towards sin, unrighteousness and all evil or evil things).

– His righteous (righteous or righteous) wrath is for all creation.
– His jealousy for all unrighteousness is for judgment.
 Not motivated by the old sin nature of man.
– Not emotional.
– We need to have God’s wrath as well.
 God, motivated by His righteous judgment, vents His wrath….
God, who is holy, righteous, just… of course, must and must show wrath against all creation, sin, wickedness, and the root causes of evil.
Romans 1:18 – A good passage… (Read Romans 2:5, and the verse)
– Against all unbelief, creation, wickedness, unrighteousness, unrighteousness….
But on the part of the believer it is a little different.
– Ephesians 2:3 (we are rich in mercy, or rich in doing good in verse 4)
– The word “propitiation” is important. (1 John 2:2, Romans 3:25)
“Jesus took the wrath for us on the cross”
and now we have received mercy…..
John 19:30 – Now is the end……
 But against those who do not believe, 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 unlimited in Himself, He has no limits, He is unlimited beyond this created universe. Our thoughts are limited and we cannot think and appreciate this complete infinity.
– He is above or superior to this finite world – He is the Creator and Sustainer of this creation.
 God is free from all limitations. His knowledge is unlimited and there is no limitation in Him. His attributes cannot be exhausted or dissipated.
 God never tires. 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 matter. (Hebrews 4:3, Revelation 1:8, and Psalm 145:13)
 God is not limited like humans and creation, 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 Bible – some might call it a dinosaur.
      Psalm 74:14 – it says like a snake.
 Anyway, it could be a giant snake-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 has 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 धिध……
– 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 a gift 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 sin are grace and mercy.
Grace – Salvation, Heaven, Eternal Life, (see also
1. General Grace – Sun, Water, Air, Fruit, Earth, Moon, Life Matthew 5:44-45 These are general 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 them…
 If God were not gracious, no one’s sins would be forgiven.
What does the Bible say about grace – Let’s fill in the blanks)
17. God is just and a just God
means – God holds all people accountable to Him equally, justly, and freely.
 At the same time, He rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked.
 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 everyone 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, sometimes 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 His judgment is just, righteous, true, full of wisdom, 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 in this world that are not just, such as intrusion, acquaintance, rich and poor, big and small, etc.) 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 will not be.
– 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 His fellowship with us.

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 forgiveness.
 God is always right and always does perfect things in harmony with His holy character.
 God is righteous physically. God is also morally righteous.
P. Stevenson presents 7 concepts of righteousness.
1. Righteousness – This is an attribute of God, which we have explained above.
(Psalm 11:7, James 1:17, Romans 3:25-26)
– All of God’s ways and dealings 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 has now become their righteousness. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
– Imputed righteousness explains this better. Romans 4 and 5 Galatians 3 and 4 are the main passages (Romans 11:17)….

3. Judicial righteousness – This is also like imputed righteousness in that we are always and perfectly righteous because of our works.
4. Impartial righteousness – God’s righteousness is progressively imputed to us, as we receive God’s Word with faith and apply it to our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit. We become wise in knowledge by experiencing God’s righteousness.
5. Self-righteousness – There are some sins that are deadly sins,
 Pride, self-righteousness, unbelief and partiality.
 God not only hates these things, but is completely angry with them.
 It 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 they have achieved their spiritual goals (without God), they think they have achieved a 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. Righteous righteousness – understood by works of the law. (Luke 18:13)
 (Bhahaubishla Yachabh)
 (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 demands of God’s righteousness for us (1 John 2:2, 1 John 4:10, Romans 3:25)
e. The righteousness of Christ is imputed only to the believer.
19. Is God holy or a holy God?
Meaning – He or God is completely and in every way separate 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 special apart from all things.
God loves righteousness because He is holy and righteous.
Holiness and righteousness are very important.
 God is holy by His very nature. Leviticus 11:44 ÷ Exodus 15:11 ÷ Leviticus 19:2 ÷ Joshua 24:19 ÷ 1 Samuel 2:2 ÷ Psalms 78:41 ÷ 99:9 ÷ Isaiah 5:16, 29:23 ÷ John 6:69

20. God is a jealous God or a jealous God
Meaning – God has a jealousy to protect his supremacy. (Positive jealousy)
God has anger and wrath against idolatry and other sins. It is not a sin to protect what is yours.
1. Jealousy and envy of wife, family, wealth Man is full of sin or a fallen nature dominates.
Jealousy – The desire to make something good that belongs to others yours or to have it as yours (house, car, position, honor, wealth, mistress, family, country, spirituality, place).
Envy – There is no one else like me, there is no one else like me, there is no one like me, there is no one better than me, there is no one better than me…….
But when we say that God is jealous or envious….
it is full of His holiness and righteousness. It 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? This is a right kind of jealousy.
– Someone else is worthy of respect, worthy of worship, worthy of glory and praise and adoration.. so why should we pay attention to others … jealousy ….
towards us – He says.. I have good, eternal, good, good, plan, way, purpose for you so why do you go after 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 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 which man has made) (Deuteronomy 32:16)
 Against sins (1 Kings 14:22)
21. God is unique, or the unique God – There is no one like God. He alone is. He is incomparable and no one can compare with 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 alone is.
 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….
– Don’t let anyone take His place,… You will 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.. is a good verse.. – From everlasting to everlasting there is none like Him..
All other Gods are liars… There is no place for them.
God wants this reality to be 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 high and above all creation.
– Of course God created this creation, and He is also the one who does, and is doing, the work of continuing this creation.
– Also God is a personal God.
– But this creation is not God, and is not a part or portion of God,
– It is higher or supreme than the whole creation or anything else….. (which He created).
– Anyway He is number 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 we need 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
4. Acts 17:24
 God is so high that He is higher than human thoughts, an established teaching that we established in previous classes.
– 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, when we look at it this way, the rulers, the kings and other things of the world seem high,
– but God is in control of all things,
– God is the source of all things, and His will, plan, desire succeeds, 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 free, all-sufficient, or has everything in Himself, and that is sufficient, and He needs no one, and needs nothing. …..
 God seeks us, when He does not need us.
 He is sufficient in who He is, all things were made by Him and through Him.. and even though He did not make things that were made, He is complete, and all-sufficient.

But He certainly did, He willed, He wanted,
– He created us for His own purpose, His glory, and He considers us very precious, special, and loves us.
– This makes the teaching of grace very beautiful.
He is not external to anything, nor does He owe anything, or owe anything to anyone. He is completely all-sufficient. He does not need to take anything from anyone.
Whenever He calls us to Himself, or uses us for His service,… because He chose to do so, (John 6:65, John 15:16)
we cannot give Him anything and do not need to give Him anything,… 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)

Genesis 50:24-Joshua 24:32
Lamentations 3:22-23

Throughout the Bible we can see God’s trustworthiness, .
– Now we can be trusted too, .
– Every day to gather, for missions, .
Y …. ดี…..
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 (Dhv Abal Chvbvm Tjshk)
Some Bible passages: Daniel 9:9 (Chvbvm)
Jeremiah 31:34
Ephesians 1:7
Ephesians 4:32 (Pvth Khavchkv)
Colossians 2:13-14
 All men (or the sins of the human race) died for Jesus.
John the Baptist says, “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 has forgiven, – 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 still 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 short time, so that,
– because he desires all men to come to the knowledge of salvation and to be saved, . .
Some Bible 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 for a long time.
– He also gives us long-suffering after chastisement.
We know that 1 Corinthians 13:
4 – Love bears all things,
7 – Endures all things,
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 too,……
– Toward God,
– In our personal lives and ministry,
– Toward other believers,
– Toward the world, மிழ்

Classes 21 and 22

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

– Always has the right intention (intention, motivation).
Some passages – Psalm 34:8
Psalm 100:5

Three things between 1 – 1. 7 years of famine
2. 3 months of punishment from the enemy
3. 3 days of pestilence
28. God is incorruptible, or the incorruptible God
We know, “God is life”…. and is the source of all other life. This incorruptible nature also comes from the subject of “God is life”.
Meaning – God Himself is life. He who is life Himself cannot die, that is why God Himself is incorruptible.
 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 incorruptible life.
 God is not corruptible or destructible.
Some verses
1 Timothy 6:16 – Only with Him is immortality.
1 Timothy 1:17 – Incorruptible
Romans 1:23 – The glory of the incorruptible God

The sovereignty of God – We do not place this in the attributes of God… but it is found to be placed, (given)
 This refers to the action of God (activity) rather than the attributes of God, which is related to this Brahman.
– Sovereignty refers to God’s control over all of creation. – It
refers to
His dominion over all of creation. – Sovereignty is His dominion over all of reality
. Omnipotence does not refer only to the right to rule over His creation, but it refers to actual control and dominion over all of His creation.
– Generally speaking, 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.
