What I Believe About God

I believe God is Love. I believe Love is His essence. Nothing He does or is can contradict Love.
1Jo 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. ;1Jo 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

I believe God is almighty, omnipotent, unlimited in power.
Ge 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD?; Jer 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: Jer 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?; Mt 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." ; Lu 1:37 For with God nothing will be impossible." Re 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

I believe God is good… all the time.
Ps 86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. ;Ps 119:68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. ; Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. ; Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. ; Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

I believe God is all knowing, omniscient, unlimited in knowledge.
Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, ; Ps 147:5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. ; 1Jo 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.; Heb 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. ; Ps 33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

I believe God is merciful and that His mercy endures till there is no more need for mercy.
1Ch 16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. ;Ps 106:1;107:1; 118:1,2,3,4,29;136:1,2,3,4,…all the way to verse 26 every verse mentions His mercy endureth for ever. :Jer 33:11 ;

I believe that God loves every single creature He has created.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, 1Jo 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.; 1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. ; Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ; Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ; Ro 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. ; Job 36:5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

I believe that God causes everything to work together for good for those He loves.
Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. ; 1Jo 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us. ; 1Co 13:8 Love never fails. (Therefore all will eventually love Him in return.)

I believe that God wants everyone to be reconciled to Himself.
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. ; 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ; 1Jo 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. ; 1Jo 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. ; Joh 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

I believe that God is patient and will wait as long as it takes until all willingly embrace Him as their Lord.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Lu 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

I believe that God will accomplish all His will, including the reconciliation of all His creation.
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. ; Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. ; Ps 115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. ; Isa 45:23 By myself I have sworn, from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall not return: 'To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.'24 "Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength; to him shall come and be ashamed, all who were incensed against him. ; Joh 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. ; Re 5:13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all therein, saying, "To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever!"14 And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped. 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. ; Ro 5:18 Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men. ; 2Ti 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. ; Ps 89:31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. ; Ps 103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. ; Isa 57:16 For I will not contend for ever, nor will I always be angry; for from me proceeds the spirit, and I have made the breath of life. 17 Because of the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, I smote him, I hid my face and was angry; but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart. 18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and requite him with comfort, creating for his mourners the fruit of the lips. 19 Peace, peace, to the far and to the near, says the LORD; and I will heal him

I believe that God’s justice and mercy are identical being defined from the point of reference of the observer.
Le 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. ; 1Ch 16:14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth./ Ps 119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: Every act of judgment is an act of mercy for it works to bring correction which when received will bring blessing. Every act of mercy is just because Jesus paid for every sin. 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I believe that God, in His sovereign power, has given free will with a limitation, that He never allows any of His creatures to cause harm to themselves or to others that He cannot repair.
Ro 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. ; Mt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
