Who is God?

There is one thing that the righteous definitely know about God, and that is, thankfully, that "God is NOT A MAN, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent" (Numbers 23:19). Hallelujah! For, IF the LORD acts in the same way that man does, then God would treat us in the same

unjust way that we treat Him! For instance,
IF God acted as a man, then God would lie to us!
"The serpent [Satan] was more subtle than any beast... and he said...Yea, hath God said...?" (Genesis 3:1).

IF God acted as a man, then God would falsely accuse us!
"The accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night" (Revelation 12:10).

IF God acted as a man, then God would deny we exist!
"The LORD turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the Word of the LORD, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice" (Luke 22:61). "He turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan" (Matthew 16:23).

And IF God acted as Satan does, then God would treat us in the same exact way that Satan treats us!
"27 And when He went forth to land, there met Him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs... 29 For oftentimes [the unclean spirits] had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

31 And they be sought Him that He would not command them to go out into the deep. 32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they be sought Him that He would suffer them to enter into them. And He suffered them. 33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind" (Luke 8:27, 29-35).

But, hallelujah, "God is not a man, that He should lie" (Numbers 23:19)! And, God is not Satan, "a liar, and the father of it" (John 8:44)!

The above is Who God is NOT. We hereby acknowledge Who God is, for...
1. if God acted as God, then God would create us. "And God said, Let Us [the Godhead, i.e., the Trinity] make man" (Genesis 1:26).

2. if God acted as God, then God would give Himself as the Perfect "Image" to be patterned after. "So God created man in His Own Image, in the Image of God created He him" (Genesis 1:27).

3. if God acted as God, then God would love us and give us His Son. "But God commendeth His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"(Romans 5:8).

(Ephesians 2:4) "But God, Who is rich in Mercy, for His Great Love wherewith He loved us."
(1John 4:10) "Herein is Love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the Propitiation for our sins."

4. God would want us to share His Home for Eternity. Jesus said, "In My Father's House are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2).

5. God would give us a beautiful Universe to live in until we reached Heaven. "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Hebrews 11:3).

6. God would give us "dominion" over our planet. "And God said... Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the Earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth" (Genesis 1:26).

7. God would give us "victory" in our lives and families. "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ" (1Corinthians 15:57).

8. God would give us "a way to escape". "God is Faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted [literally, tested] above that ye are able; but will with the temptation[literally, test] also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1Corinthians 10:13).

9. God would give us His Divine Help. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the Throne of Grace, that we may obtain Mercy, and find Grace to help in time of need"(Hebrews 4:16).

10. God would give us His Divine Wealth (the Wealth that money can't buy). "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, Temperance" (Galatians 5:22).

11. God would give us His Divine Self to live within us. "And he that keepeth His Commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us" (1John 3:24).

12. God would comfort us. "16 Now our LORD Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us Everlasting Consolation and Good Hope through Grace, 17 comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work" (2Thessalonians 2:16-17).

13. God would guide us. "The Spirit of Truth... will guide you into all Truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come" (John 16:13).

14. God would provide for us. "He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Living Water" (John 7:38).

15. God would never leave us. "For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5).

"O taste and see that the LORD is Good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him" (Psalm 34:8). I could go on endlessly, for "Great is our LORD, and of great Power: His Understanding is Infinite" (Psalm 147:5).
