RESTORATION TODAY
THURSDAY 27TH OCTOBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: THE GREAT GOD.

To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare unto Him?? Isaiah 40:18.

If you ask a group of people what God is like, you will receive many different answers. As the Father reveals Himself in Scripture, one word that?s never used when referring to Him is ?it.? God is a person; in every reference, He is given a name (Yahweh, Elohim, Lord) or referred to by masculine pronouns (He, Him). He fits all of the attributes of personhood intelligence to reason, emotions to feel, and the will to make decisions. From Genesis to Revelation, God displays these features.

Scripture also shows God's immutability. Neither the Lord's nature nor His character ever changes. We can all expect that God's principles and laws will hold true and that He will act exactly as He has promised. While He does adjust His emotions to fit a situation, delight, anger, and other feelings are nuances of His being, not new traits.

God is eternal; He has no beginning or end. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No one created Him; God simply is. That's hard for humans to understand, but if the Lord were completely explainable, He would be like us and unworthy of worship. If we are to honour the Father, we should know Him as He really is eternal and unchanging.

ACTION POINT: God is eternal and unchanging. What He has done for people in the Bible, He can do for you as well!
