Attributes of God

1. Introduction The Names of God Doctrine of God Traditional “Proofs” for God’s Existence Incommunicable Attributes of God Communicable Attributes of God The Trinity Creation God’s Providence Descriptions of God taken from Creation All creation reveals something about God to us All that the Bible says about God uses anthropomorphic language God made the universe so that it would show forth the excellence of his character The Names of God

2. Incommunicable Attributes Unchangeableness. God is unchanging in his being, perfections, purposes, and promises, yet God does act and feel emotions, and he acts and feels differently in response to different situations. This attribute of God is also called immutability. Being – Ps. 102:25-27; Perfections – Mal. 3:6; James 1:17 Purposes – Isa. 46:9-11 Promises – Num. 23:19 Does God sometimes change his mind? Ex. 32:9-14; Isa. 38:1-6

3. Communicable Attributes Wisdom. God’s wisdom means that God always chooses the best goals and the best means to those goals. Rom. 16:27; Job 12:13 How do you see God working wisely in the world? 1 Cor. 1:18-2:5 Do you really believe that God is working wisely in your life today? Rom. 8:28

3. Communicable Attributes Jealousy. God’s jealousy means that God continually seeks to protect his own honor. Exod. 34:14 Num. 25:1-18 How do you see God’s name dishonored in the world, and what is a good way to be jealous for his honor?
