Theme: God’s Character – Attributes, Love, and Holy Otherness




Why Study God’s Attributes?

God’s attributes aren't categories we impose on Him—they are ways He has revealed Himself.



The study of God’s character leads not just to knowledge but to worship and transformation.





God is Not Like Us

God is incomprehensible, infinite, and unchanging. He is "holy other.”



Even His communicable attributes (like love and justice) are perfect and infinite—far beyond ours.



Example: God’s anger is never out of control; His mercy never compromises justice.





The Unity of God's Attributes

God's attributes aren’t slices of a pie; He doesn’t operate with love apart from holiness or justice.



“God’s justice is loving. God’s love is holy.”



We misunderstand God when we isolate one attribute from the rest.





God’s Love and the Trinity

The Father’s love for the Son and the Spirit defines God’s very nature.



This inter-Trinitarian love is the source of our salvation—it overflows toward us.



God doesn’t need us to love—He is love eternally—but He graciously includes us in it.





How God’s Attributes Impact Us

Knowing God's faithfulness, holiness, mercy, and wrath helps us:

Trust Him when suffering.



Stand in awe when we read Scripture.



Live lives marked by humility and joy.





We are called not just to admire these traits—but to be conformed to His image.
