FAQ # 118
QUESTION 118 : What
does the bible say about the nature of God?
There are six bible definitions
of God, who is so complex that no one definition can suffice. They are:
Psalms 36:9 – “With thee, O God, is the fountain of life.”
James 1:17 – “The Father of lights.”
1 John 1:5 – “God is love.”
1 John 4:8-16 – “God is love.”
John 4 – “God is a spirit.”
Hebrews 12:9 – “Father of spirits.”
His nature is spirit and spirits
are basically light; with the ability to have no distinct form. He is
the father of spirits because he made all spirit beings and being spirit
meant that their nature is also light; thus making him the father of lights.
Notice that light and spirit are used interchangeable, because if you
literally saw a spirit you would see pure light, clearer than crystal
(Ex 24:10). This is God’s nature. Yet because of love, he forsook this
perfection to come and die for man in corruptible flesh. By this demonstration
of love he has given those who believe in him life, being that with him
is the fountain of life:- “For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Remember, Jesus
isn’t another man but God the spirit in flesh. That’s why the word of
God tells us this about Jesus, “He was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him not” (John 1:10). In other words,
God, ruler of all things that made the heaven and earth was in the world
as another human being and the world up till now don’t know that; except
for a select view that the world don’t know either – genuine born again
