Who Is God?Chapter 1 — God and His Word
Lesson 1: Who Is God?God is the everlasting Creator, holy, good, and Lord over everything.
Explanation
God is not a part of the world, and He is not a character invented by people. He is the everlasting Creator, the One who made the sky, the earth, time, and every person. Because He exists in Himself, He depends on no one and never changes.
To know God means to know that He is holy, good, and Lord over everything. That is why we come close to Him with respect, trust, and the joy that the whole world is in His hand.
Bible story
When God showed Himself to Moses at the burning bush, He said: “I AM THAT I AM.” This name shows that God exists in Himself and always stays the same. In Genesis, in the flood, and in the history of the patriarchs, He proves again and again that He is great, righteous, and good.
Remember
- The truth: God is the everlasting Creator, holy, good, and Lord over everything.
- No one created God, and nothing can take His place.
- Because God is Lord over all, we can trust Him every single day.
Psalm 90:2
“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”
