Who is God?

The Creator of everything

The Bible is not shy about declaring God as the sole Creator of the universe.

Genesis 1:1 “1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Nehemiah 9:6 “6 You, Lord, are the only God. You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their stars, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them, and all the stars of heaven worship you.”

Jeremiah 10:12 “12 He made the earth by his power, established the world by his wisdom, and spread out the heavens by his understanding.”

Colossians 1:16 “16 For everything was created by him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through him and for him.”

Revelation 4:11 “11 Our Lord and God, you are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because you have created all things, and by your will they exist and were created.”

Eternal

Eternal - lasting forever, without beginning or end.

Psalm 90:2 “Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from eternity to eternity, you are God.”

Isaiah 57:15 “For the High and Exalted One, who lives forever, whose name is holy, says this: “I live in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and lowly of spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the oppressed.”

Revelation 1:8 “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘the one who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’”

Self-existant

Exodus 3:14–15 “14 God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever; this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.”

Romans 11:36 “36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.”

God is One

Deuteronomy 6:4 “4 “Listen, Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.”

1 Corinthians 8:4–6 “4 About eating food sacrificed to idols, then, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world,” and that “there is no God but one.” 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—6 yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from him, and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.”

1 Timothy 2:5 “5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,”

God is Spirit

John 4:24 “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and in truth.”

1 Timothy 1:17 “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”

God is Triune

John 3:16–17 “16 For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”

Romans 15:30 “30 Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers to God on my behalf.”

2 Corinthians 13:13 “13 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”

Omnipotent

Omniscient

Omnipresent

Omnipresent comes from two Latin words

Omni - “all” or “everywhere”

Praesens - “present”

Together these words mean: “Present everywhere at the same time”

Most will take this doctrine and believe the pantheistic doctrine that God is everything.

But that’s not what omnipresence means.

Omnipresence means that God is not defined by physical space. He has no limit to his size or location. He does not travel through our 3D world simply because He is beyond it.
