The Triune God

The Bible assumes that God exists and that we can know it God possesses a certain nature we can grasp God can and has communicated with mankind God’s benevolence can be known God’s revelation can be recognized, understood and followed an objective moral code exists that can be known, understood and followed

The Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Lk 10:25ff) Christ assumed the lawyer... knew what the law said and meant... could understand the parable... had the moral capability and amenability to understand and obey the parable Why? Because God made the world/man that way. We can think as God thinks (rationality), feel as he feels (emotion), judge as he judges (morality), want what he wants (volition) and act as he decrees/desires (behavior)

What is man?... that You should exalt him... (Job 7:17)... that You are mindful of him... (Psalms 8:4; Heb 2:6)... that You take knowledge of him?... (Psalms 144:3)

What is man? Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:26-27)

Man Is Touched By God

What is man? "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

Man Is Touched By God

Can man, “touched by God,”... know/understand God? (Deut 29:29; Rom 11:33) are his higher ways/thoughts beyond us? (Is 55:8-9) Rom 1:18ff - his existence is “clearly seen” Acts 14:17 - his benevolence is everywhere/always Acts 17:27 - he seeks to, and can be, found 2 Pet 1:3-4 - we can make his nature our own

Can man, “touched by God,”... understand God’s nature “here and now?” understand God’s nature before “here and now?” is what God is what God has always been?

The Nature of God... usually considered as applying exclusively to us does God’s nature apply only to us/within time? or has what it is in time always been what it is in eternity?

The Nature of God... has always been as it is (Mal 3:6; Heb 13:8) has always been as it is in time has always been as it is in eternity
