What is God Like ?

GOD  is –
1.      a SPIRIT (John 4:24),
2.       in and of himself INFINITE in being(Exod. 3:14; Job 11:7-9),
3.      GLORY (Acts 7:2),
4.       BLESSEDNESS (1Tim. 6:15),
5.      and PERFECTION (Matt. 5:48);
6.      ALL-SUFFICIENT (Gen. 17:1),
7.      ETERNAL (Ps. 90:2),
8.      UNCHANGEABLE  (Mal. 3:6; James 1:17),
9.      INCOMPREHENSIBLE (1Kings 8:27 ),
10.  EVERYWHERE PRESENT (.  Ps. 139:1-13),
11.  ALMIGHTY (Rev. 4:8),
12.  KNOWING ALL THINGS (Heb. 4:13; Psa 147:5),
13.  MOST WISE (Rom. 16:27),
14.  MOST HOLY (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 15:4),
15.  MOST JUST (Deut. 32:4),
16.  MOST MERCIFUL and GRACIOUS, LONG-SUFFERING, and abundant in GOODNESS and TRUTH (Exod. 34:6).

According to the Bible, God created man in His image and in His Likeness.
“Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness” (Genesis 1: 26a)
“So, God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27)
Therefore, we can say that man had the qualities of God shown above, when God created him in the beginning, at least in some degree. But after his disobeyed God, man lost godliness, his relation with God  was broken. To restore that relation, God sent His Son Jesus Christ. All who believed in Jesus and received Him as  Lord and Saviour will have new relation with God. This restoration of the already broken relationship is called ‘NEW LIFE IN CHRIST’ , ‘Born-again’, ‘Eternal Life’ as the believer have God’s nature noted above in this New Life.
Hope you have received Jesus Christ. If so, study the Bible daily to grow spiritually and always pray. God will help you through the Holy Spirit to have His qualities noted above Sl.no. 1-16 one by after one as you grows spiritually. We will have full qualities after life on earth when Christ bring us to live with Him eternally in heaven.
If you have not yet received Him, call Him now and received Him.

God bless you.
