The Essence of God
If you want to know God...you have to get into His Word.
It is in His Word that He manifests His essence to us...Who He Is.
We cannot in our humanity ever completely comprehend all that He is, but His very heart and character is revealed to us in His Truth.
When we know Him, we know the truth regarding His love for us...we begin to trust in Who He Is and an intimate relationship with The Father is formed.
And through His Truth, Love, Grace and Mercy...just a remnant of Who He Is...we are sanctified and set free.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)
"But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God." (1 Corinthians 2:10-12)
"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place." (Ephesians 6:14)
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him." (Proverbs 30:5)
"For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth." (Psalm 33:4)
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
