Lesson 3. Who is God?
The Bible introduces us to our Creator. Genesis 1:1
In the Bible, God’s name was recorded over 7,000 times. In Hebrew, it is written as four characters: YHWH. Yahweh is the most widely accepted scholarly pronunciation.
Yahweh is the highest God in existence. Psalm 95:3-7; 135:5; 2 Chronicles 2:5; 1 Corinthians 8:5
Yahweh deserves the credit and authority for creating and sustaining the universe. Revelation 4:11
God doesn’t want humans to worship anything or anyone else. Ex 34:14
Yahweh has many good qualities. (Romans 1:20) His main quality is love. He is the epitome of love. 1 John 4:8.
Yahweh is also a God of:
Power - Psalm 147:5
Justice - Isaiah 61:8
Wisdom - Proverbs 2:6.
When bad things happen, we cannot blame God. He does not test us or tempt us with evil. James 1:13
God listens to our prayers and cares about us as individuals. 1 Peter 5:7, 1 Peter 3:12
Some people may want you to stop studying the Bible, but who do you obey as your ruler? Acts 5:29
