Confirmation Class September 11, 2013

Lesson 2: GOD TELLS US ABOUT HIMSELF Is there a God? An agnostic says: An atheist says: “I don’t know if there is a God.” “There is no God.”

All people can know that there is a God 1. From nature (the created universe). 2. From conscience (the voice within us). Natural knowledge of God = What people learn about God from nature and one’s conscience. Natureconscience Tells me There is a God who is powerful, wise, and holy Psalm 19:1 Romans 2:15

The weakness of natural knowledge - It doesn’t tell: 1. Who the true God is (versus idols). 2. About one’s Savior from sin. God gives people natural knowledge to lead them to Seek after the Lord and know more about him. Acts 17:26-27

God gives people natural knowledge to lead them to Seek after the Lord and know more about him.

God shows what he is really like through - We find Jesus Christ in the Bible.God Man Jesus Christ. JESUS “Bible” = the book. (Greek) “Scriptures” = the writings. (Latin) Revealed knowledge of God = What God made known about Himself in the Bible. John 14:8-9 John 5:39

The Bible tells us: 1. Who the true God is: The Triune God. 2. Who the Savior is: Jesus Christ. What is the true God like? Holy/Just (punishes sin)Eternal (no beginnings or end) UnchangeableOmniscient (all-knowing) Omnipresent (present everywhere)Loving Omnipotent (all-powerful) Isaiah 43:11-12

Our God is TRIUNE = Three persons in one Godhead or Deity MATTHEW 28:19-20 DEUTERONOMY 6:4

3 in 1: H2O & an Egg

THE PERSONS OF THE GODHEAD 1. The Father, who is the Creator (one who made us all) 2. The Son, who is the Redeemer (one who bought us back) 3. The Holy Spirit, who is the Sanctifier (one who sets us apart)

Assignment 1. Look Up the Passages, Multiple Choice, Word Study, and Bible Books.
