God Transforms
All who believe in Jesus are transformed by God from sinner to saint! The Apostle Paul’s letters in the New Testament often referred to the believers as saints. So if God (and Paul) sees believers as saints, why is the behavior of so many Christians unsaintly? As believers, we must find our identity in the power of the Holy Spirit and what God has done in us—not in our failures. Then we’ll have the power to live like the saints we are!
God is Infinite
Over and over again, the Bible tells us God is infinite. While it’s difficult to understand what this really means, we’ll do our best to try. And as our understanding of this truth grows deeper, it has the potential to change our lives for good.
God is Holy
God is holy, and in order for us be in relationship with Him, we also must be holy. When we accept the sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf, we enter into a right relationship with God. From that moment on, God sees us as holy! But that’s only half of the equation....

God is Present

God is Three in One
The Doctrine of the Trinity—that God is One in Essence and Three in Person—is one of the most ancient and well established beliefs in Christianity. It is also one of the most perplexing, confusing, and seemingly irrelevant beliefs about who God is. Why has the church...
God is Jealous
It’s almost inconceivable to think of jealousy as a virtue. It’s an undesirable attitude to be avoided at all costs. But as we get to know God, we soon discover that He is jealous. How can jealousy be wrong for us and right for God?
God is Trustworthy
Trust can be a difficult matter to talk about depending on your upbringing and your life circumstances. Understandably, many people have difficulty trusting others because they have been hurt many times. Even approaching the subject of trust we may begin to stiffen...
God as Father
On the adventure of getting to know God, we soon discover that God is a father. But God is no ordinary father. He exhibits the best things of fatherhood in a perfect way. And He invites you into a relationship as His child.
God is Knowable
It’s possible we can embrace ideas about God that are entirely incorrect. People often live in a way that implies God is distant and disinterested. What if the opposite is true about God? We can enjoy a completely different experience when we understand we can know...
