has
revealed Himself through the Bible and Jesus. Below are some key
passages
about God from the Bible. Underline any key characteristics about God.
Psalm
145:18 "
To our LORD, everything you do is kind and thoughtful, and you are near
to everyone whose prayers are sincere."
Hebrews 4:13
"Nothing
is hidden from God! He sees through everything, and we will have to
tell
him the truth."
Acts
17:24-28 "This
God
made the world and everything in it. He is Lord of heaven and earth,
and
he doesn't live in temples built by human hands. He doesn't need help
from
anyone. He gives life, breath, and everything else to all people. From
one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided when
and where every nation would be. God has done all this, so that we will
look for him and reach out and find him. He is not far from any of us,
and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. ‘We
are
his children,‘ just as some of your poets have said"
John
3:16
"God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never
die."
Psalm
145:8-9
"You are
merciful, LORD. You are kind and patient and always loving. You are
good
to everyone, and you take care of all your creation."
Revelation
15:3
"Lord
God all-powerful, you have done great and marvellous things. You are
the
ruler of all nations, and you do what is right and fair. Lord,
who
does not honour and praise your name? You alone are holy, and all
nations
will come and worship you, because you have shown that you judge with
fairness."
