Who is God?

As a child of God we must understand that our Heavenly Father is GOOD. His chief motivation in our life is to make us the best person we can possibly be. Everything He does as He deals with us in our Christian life is to develop our potential to the greatest degree possible. On the other hand, Satan is totally evil. Jesus gives us Satan's job description in John 10:10 when He says, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy" To better understand who God is let's look at the attributes or characteristics of God that He has revealed about Himself in His Word to this point in time. 

ATTRIBUTES OF GOD IS: 

1. SPIRIT 

2. HOLY- He has never been touched by sin. 

3. ETERNAL- He has always existed. 

4. INFINITE- without limits except when He has limited Himself by His Word. 

5. OMNIPRESENT- everywhere at once. 

6. OMNISCIENT- all knowing. 

7. OMNIPOTENT- all mighty. 

8. TRUTH- He never, ever lies. 

9. JUST- 100% fair in His actions with us. 

10. RIGHTEOUS- totally good. 

11. LIFE- He isn't just alive...He is Life. 

12. UNCHANGEABLE- James 1:17 

13. SOVEREIGN- absolute supreme ruler. But His Sovereignty is in complete harmony with His other attributes. God never ever steps out of character in any one of His attributes. 

14. LOVE- He is the most loving personality in the universe. 

15. FAITHFUL- absolutely trustworthy. 

16. MERCIFUL- beyond human comprehension. 

17. PROVIDENT- watches over and cares for His creation. 

GOD'S ATTRIBUTES NEVER GET OUT OF BALANCE WITH EACH OTHER. HE NEVER ACTS OUT OF CHARACTER. For this reason we can trust and have confidence in God's judgment concerning our lives. He will ALWAYS do what is best for us. 

He is totally wise, good and just. His love for us is beyond understanding it is so great and He is absolutely trustworthy. So why would anyone ever want to disregard His leading and advice in their lives? 

Now, what about the enemy? What does the Bible reveal about his character? 

ATTRIBUTES OF THE DEVIL THE DEVIL IS: 

1. A liar 

2. A murderer 

3. A sower of discord 

4. An adversary 

5. Cunning 

6. Wicked 

7. Malignant- totally evil 

8. Cowardly 

9. A tempter 

10. A thief 

11. Without principles 

12. Proud 

13. Deceitful 

14. Fierce and cruel 

15. Aggressive 

16. A destroyer

As we compare these two lists of attributes who do you suppose causes sickness and suffering in the human race? Understand that the devil is not a negative God but a fallen angel. As a result of the fall he did not become more powerful. Sin ALWAYS weakens whatever it touches. 

Are we stronger or weaker after we have sinned? Just because it was Lucifer does not nullify the fact that he is nothing now compared to what he was when he was created perfect. However, if we get into the works of the flesh he is powerful because that is his playground. 

Some of the works of the devil are: sin, sickness, fear, death, depression, murder, temptation, deception, lust and rebellion. But I John 3:8 informs us, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. " Now, in the Name of Jesus, we have victory over the devil and his works because Jesus made them of no effect. 

God will never stoop so low as to use one of the works of the devil to deal with His children. God would not have sent Jesus to destroy the works of the devil only to pick them back up to use on those He loves. We can have confidence that God has enough wisdom to deal with us on a level higher than that which the devil would use.

MANY HAVE UNFAIRLY ATTRIBUTED ACTS TO GOD THAT WERE REALLY OF THE DEVIL. The results are devastating. What can the person do if he believes it is God who sent sickness into his life to teach him something? He shouldn't fight against God so he allows the sickness to rob him of his health when he should be standing against it in the Name of Jesus to be healed. We have to be able to recognize who is doing what in our lives to be able to react correctly according to God's Word.
