God is Love

by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

If any characteristic of God is well-known, love would be it. Scripture is certainly clear on the subject. 1 John 4:8 states, “…God is love.” John, the Gospel writer, does not simply describe God’s character as loving, but describes the very essence of God’s nature as love.

The Just God
by Cody Anderson Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

How many times have you heard, “That’s not fair?” Or how about, “Because I said so.” These are common phrases you probably heard growing up. As we grew up, we realized that life isn’t fair because fair is subjective. Our parents, being the authority in our lives, had the right to tell us to do something, and we were expected to do it. So, who decides what is fair and what dictates authority? It all comes from a just God.

God is merciful
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

The God who created the heavens and the earth has been so thorough in revealing who He is and what He is like. He first revealed His eternal power and divine nature through the act of Creation. He then described Himself with great detail and clarity in His Word, the Bible. And then finally and fully, He reveals the fullness of all that He is in the person of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. And in all of the wonderful and glorious attributes of God, His mercy is one that certainly draws our hearts to Him.

God is Holy
by Audrey Christensen

What does it mean when we say something is holy? Maybe we mean “good,” but even that word has become distorted. (I think chocolate chip cookies are good.) There are other aspects of holiness that we should consider: awe, fear, purity, righteousness, perfection, set-apartness. After all of the characteristics of God that we’ve looked at the past several weeks, the natural conclusion must be that God is holy. After all, He created and sustains all things; He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present, all-wise.
