| SCRIPTURAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GOD
(Text Version) Have you ever wondered what God is really like? Scripture gives us many definitions. It is so amazing that Someone so wonderful loves us personally and wants to be in our life! The following is a list of 28 of His qualities and attributes. There are actually many more than that! As you ponder each of these wonderful characteristics of God’s personality, ask yourself if you know Him that way? Can you point to milestones in your life where He has reached you personally through one or more of these?
“Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy; is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited – arrogant and inflated with pride; it is not rude (unmannerly), and does not act unbecomingly. Love {God’s love in us} does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it – pays no attention to a suffered wrong. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything {without weakening}. Love never fails – never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end…” (I Corinthians 13:4-8 AMP)
