Attributes of God: Infinity, Immensity and Goodness

Posted on 23 Apr 2017, Pastor: Rev. Derek Geldart

The yearning of the soul compels us to ask the question: what is God like? If we mean in Himself then there can be no answer but if one means what has God disclosed about Himself that inspired reason can comprehend then there is much that can be known. For the soul that truly thirsts for God what a joy it is to sit and listen to His Spirit reveal the truth concerning Him! Those things that have been revealed and are true of God we call His attributes (not to be confused with traits or characteristics for these terms relate only to creation). While many theologians try to number His attributes, the goal of this series is not to correctly identify an exact list that cannot be known but instead to invite you to learn the truth that God revealed concerning Himself for just ten of His attributes. These attributes have been revealed through nature, Scripture and through the Holy Spirit. As you read this series I want to encourage you to learn more about these attributes through prayer, meditation and the reading of God’s holy word. After all, to think correctly concerning God requires one to bask in His revelation concerning Himself. This series will be broken up into four sermons the first of which will focus on God’s attributes of infinity, immensity and goodness.
