What is God like?




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: When you're trying to reach your world, your friends, your family for Jesus Christ, more than once people will ask you, "What is God like?"  People's ideas of God often is just a spin from their own mind.  But, we know from what the Bible teaches, and because you and I have met Christ, what He's really like.  First of all, "God is a spirit" the Bible says.  Those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.  That's the first thing about God.  Secondly, what is God like?  He's omnipotent.  That means that He has all power in heaven and earth.  God is almighty.  He is omnipotent.  Thirdly, God is omnipresent.  That means he's everywhere.  He sees you, He knows you, even your thoughts.  God knows us because he is omnipresent.  And then, lastly, you can say God is omniscient.  Don't try to limit God.  God knows everything.  And, therefore, we cannot hide from Him.  And when He says, "I love you and I will forgive you," He knows what he's doing.  He's doing it on the basis of knowing how sinful we are.Tell them that God knowingly, because he's omniscient, laid on Christ the sins of the world.  That may help them to really know what God is like.
