DANGER OF A LOW VIEW OF GOD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE LIVING GOD<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Exodus 3:13-15 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then Moses said to God, \u201cIf I come to the people of Israel and say to them, \u201d\u02dcThe God of your fathers has sent me to you,\u201d\u2122 and they ask me, \u201d\u02dcWhat is his name?\u201d\u2122 what shall I say to them?\u201d
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0God said to Moses, \u201cI AM WHO I AM.\u201d And he said, \u201cSay this to the people of Israel, \u201d\u02dcI AM has sent me to you.\u201d\u2122\u201d
\n15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0God also said to Moses, \u201cSay this to the people of Israel, \u201d\u02dcThe LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.\u201d\u2122 This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GOD THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

John 4:24 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>24 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ezekiel 1:26-28 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>26 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance.
\n27 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.
\n28 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking. <\/span><\/p>\n

ATTRIBUTES OF THE ALMIGHTY<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

GOD THE HOLY<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Isaiah 6:1-5 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And one called to another and said: \u201cHoly, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;<\/span> the whole earth is full of his glory!\u201d<\/span>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And I said: \u201cWoe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GOD THE INFINITE<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Psalm 139:7-10 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?<\/span>
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!<\/span>
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,<\/span>
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psalm 90:1-2 (ESV)

\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world,<\/span> from everlasting to everlasting you are God.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah 46:8-10 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u201cRemember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors,<\/span>
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other;<\/span> I am God, and there is none like me,
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, \u201d\u02dcMy counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,\u201d\u2122 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
