What Is God Really Like?

This is a very difficult question. There is truly not enough words in the English (or any other) language to convey what our Holy, awesome God is like.

God is infinite. No one can totally know what infinite is. It means that God knows NO limits. He has NO boundries and He has NO end. Any time words such as unlimited, boundless, endless, and infinite are used; they can be applied only to God, for man is none of these. These words do not describe space, time, matter, motion or energy; and cannot be applied to anything that can be measured. IF there were a certain place where God stopped, He would not be perfect and His understanding would not be perfect. Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. [KJV] IF God knew all things, except a measley 1%, He would not be perfect. He knows ALL things; past, present and future! IF God had all power, except a tiny, little bit; He would not be perfect! IF God were 99.9% love, God would not be God! To be infinite, God MUST have NO boundries, NO limits, NO stopping point, NO place beyond which He cannot go. God is infinite: ALL perfect, ALL knowing, ALL wise, ALL powerful, ALL loving, ALL everything!

God is immense. I will let the Lord explain this one! Isaiah 40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. [KJV] Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: [KJV] Isaiah 40:25-26 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. [26] Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. [KJV] Psalm 104:1-3 Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. [2] Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: [3] Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: [KJV] God is indeed great! He is HUGE!

God is good. "Good" means kindhearted, gracious, loving, reliable, etc. Psalm 119:68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. [KJV] Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. [KJV] Psalm 139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! [KJV] Isaiah 63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. [KJV]

God is just. God is perfectly and absolutely just in every way. "Just" means honest and upright with 100% moral values. Psalm 92:15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. [KJV] Psalm 97:2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. [KJV]

God is merciful. Psalm 103:8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. [KJV] Goodness is the source of God's mercy. God's mercy never began, nor will it ever end! God is eternally merciful. But BEWARE! God's mercy will never cancel His judgment on an unbeliever (someone not born again). When God;s justice confronts those without Christ on the day of judgment, the sentence shall be "Hell" (John 3:16,36; 8:24). It simply must be that way, because God is who He says He is, and will never change. If God were to allow those who reject Jesus, into Heaven, He would be a "liar" and God certainly is NOT a liar! See our articles on Hell.

God is full of grace. Grace is God's unmerited favor He bestows upon us. Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [KJV] Ephes. 2:7-9 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [KJV] Grace is God's good pleasure, and grace is what God is like. God is a God of total kindness, consideration, good will, and open-handedness to His TRUE children (John 1:12-13; 3:3).Yet all these great characteristics work in perfect harmony with God's justice and His judgment. There will most certainly be judgment, and there certainly is a Hell! And there are those whom God MUST reject because of their continual impenitence. These are they that simply are not sorry for their sins and evils that they have done. But, the grace of God will allow Him to do only what is absolutely right. And when a sinner does repent, the grace of God forgives, for grace was released at the cross when Christ died for our sins. Many Christians have lost the proper concept of what God is like. We need to study God's Word and learn what God is really like!

God is omnipresent. The Lord can say this much better than I can. 1 Kings 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? [KJV] Jeremiah 23:23-24 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? [24] Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. [KJV] Acts 17:27-28 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: [28] For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. [KJV] Psalm 139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. [KJV] Psalm 139:7-10 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? [8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. [9] If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; [10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. [KJV] Omnipresent means God is all-present. God is close to, near to, here, there, everywhere! He is next to you, where ever you might be, because He is everywhere! There is NO place in the entire Universe where God is not present!

God is immanent. Immanent means God works within, for God penetrates everything, including our very existence; our heart and mind and soul. And as mentioned above, God is omnipresent, so He penetrates everything, everywhere! God is absolutely awesome and amazing.

God is Holy. We cannot understand holiness. We are fallen creatures spiritually, morally, mentally and physically. We ALL inherit sin from Adam and Eve. We are born with a sinful nature, into a polluted world (Isa.6:5; 48:8; Psalm 51:5; 58:3). We learn impurity from our bassinets. We nurse it with our mother's milk. We breathe in the air we inhale. Education simply makes matters worse and our lifestyles prove it. Evil impurities are everywhere! Even the most devoutm devoted and saintly person you know is but a soiled sinner in God's eyes. Holiness is absolute purity, such as cannot be put into words. It is morality unequaled. It is righteousness and justice that cannot be surpassed. It means honesty, absolute uprightness in character, and honor and truth. God is ALL these things and more in His holiness. His holiness is uncreated and eternal! Holy is aweful (full of awe). Our God certainly is an Awful One! God is awesome and we should hold Him in a place of fear, wonder, amazement, respect and reverence; for He and He alone is Holy! 1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. [KJV] We can be holy in God's eyes, only when we believe Him and accept His Son as our personal Saviour and Lord (1 John 5:10-12).

God is perfect. Psalm 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. [KJV] Perfection is the highest degree of excellence. God lacks NOTHING! Perfection means full and complete. Nothing can be added (or taken away) to make God more perfect. God is absolutely perfect and complete in His character and nature in every possible way! God is an infinite perfection of fullness. We cannot compare God to anything or anyone! Isaiah 40:25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. [KJV] God has an unlimited abundance of power and wisdom and knowledge and holiness and and justice and love and goodness and kindness and mercy and grace! God is PERFECT!

God is a unique God in His character and the way He works in the Universe. There is NONE other who can come close to Him. He can do NO wrong, He can speak NO lies, He thinks NO evil, He does NO wickedness. God can do only what is just and right 100% of the time. Anything He says is TRUTH!
