Woohoo!! The second episode of our summer series is out! I am super pumped for you to listen to this episode. Studying the Attributes of God will forever be one of the most impactful things I have ever done. It was so fun to walk through some of the things I leaned to help us remember that in order to know our identity, we have to know God's! I can't wait to hear the feedback from this episode.
There is a difference in knowing about God and knowing God
Proverbs 8:17 - I love all who love me. Those who search me will surely find me. (NLT)
Jeremiah 9:12-13 - Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (NIV)
We must seek God and learn about Him through His word! The Bible shows us over and over who He is not just by word but by action. If we aren’t aware of who He truly is, we will miss Him all around us in our day to day life.
Attributes of God
What is an attribute?
(as a noun) a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something.
God has:
Communicable - attributes that both God and us can have yet we will never perfect them as God does
Incommunicable - attributes that only God can possess
Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Eternal + Sovereign
God is in complete control with all the power and no limit to it. He knows all things and is in all places at once. He always has and always will be. There is no break or mess within Him.

Truthful
The only things God says to you are in Truth and LOVE.
John 14:6
Loving + Gracious + Merciful + Patient
God truly is LOVE. The only way to have a basis or standard of love is through God. Anything else is built on a rocky foundation.
1 John 4:16
Grace is getting what you don’t deserve. Mercy is not getting what you do deserve. God is truly patient with us as He allows us to walk through this life and learn to trust Him in all that we do.
