Who Is God?

Just who is God? He is broader than the heavens and deeper than we can conceive. Knowing God and who He is should be the goal of everyone, especially Christians. For a brief look at the topic, I'd like to share an except written by the noted theologian, A.W. Tozer.

"God wants His children to be ever aware of His presence in their lives with a burning passion for Him.... He waits to show Himself in ravishing fullness to the humble of soul and the pure of heart. The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God, and the church is famishing for the want of His presence."

"God is eternal, which means that He predates time and is wholly independent of it. Time began in Him and will end in Him. To it, He pays no tribute, and from it, He suffers no change. He is immutable, which means that He has never changed, and can never change in any smallest measure. To change, He would need to go from better to worse or from worse to better. He cannot do either, for being perfect He cannot become more perfect, and if He were to become less perfect He would be less than God. He is omniscient, which means that He knows in one free and effortless act all matter, all spirit, all relationships, and all events. He has no past and He has no future. He is, and none of the limiting and qualifying terms used of creatures can apply to Him. Love and mercy and righteousness are His, and holiness so ineffable that no comparisons or figures will avail to express it."

"God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that He can, without anything other than Himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature...."* It is my hope that you will use Tozer's words as a springboard to a deeper relationship with God. It's what He wants for you, and nothing will ever be more crucial.
