God’s Attributes: Grace and Omnipresence

Posted on 09 May 2017, Pastor: Rev. Derek Geldart

What God has revealed about Himself is called His attributes. In last week’s sermon, we reviewed just two of these attributes: justice and mercy. By justice I mean that God giving humanity a lifetime to change their evil ways does not violate His unchanging desire to hold people accountable in this lifetime or the next. While forgiveness without consequences might appear to violate justice, it does not because Christ paid the price for our sins, once and for all. By mercy I mean that God is actively compassionate. Our high priest Jesus is sympathetic towards our suffering for He has not forgotten the agony He endured on the cross! While God may not remove suffering, He mercifully provides the means for us to endure it and mature in the faith. This week’s sermon is going to focus on two more attributes of God: grace and omnipresence.
