Who Is God? His Attributes of Greatness Part 2

attribute are like individual facets of a whole diamond.

He Knows Everything

Omniscience of God

He Has Authority Over Everything

Sovereignty or Supremacy of God

Omnipotence

​Psalm 62:11 NASB9511 Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;

All power belongs to Him. We only have power if God willingly gives us power to borrow from Him.

​Habakkuk 3:4 NASB954 His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And there is the hiding of His power.

All the displays of power that we have seen (lightning, powerful storms, floods) are impressive to us. We think of them as the fullest exercise of His power, but these are really just the hiding of His power.

​Daniel 4:35 NASB9535 “All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’

Over Disease

​Matthew 8:3 NASB953 Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Over Creation

​Job 38:4–6 NASB954 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, 5 Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it? 6 “On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone,

​Psalm 89:11–12 NASB9511 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have founded them. 12 The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

Genesis 1 is a parade of the power of God. He speaks and our world is snapped into existence.

To Keep Everything Going

​Hebrews 1:3 NASB953 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

To Answer Prayer

​Ephesians 3:20–21 NASB9520 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Application:

​Psalm 31:15 NASB9515 My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.

​Psalm 37:7 NASB957 Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
