The Lord is: eternal (Genesis 21:33; Deuteronomy 32:40; 33:27; Psalm 90:2; Isaiah 57:15; John 1:1; Romans 1:20); infinite (1Timothy 1:17); transcendent (1Kings 8:27; 2Chronicles 2:6; 6:18; Isaiah 55:8-9; Romans 11:33); Creator of all (Genesis 1); Holy (Leviticus 11:44-45; 1John 1:5; Revelation 4:8; 15:4); Love (John 3:16; 1John 4:8,16); Spirit (Genesis 1:2; John 4:24); Truth (1Samuel 15:29; John 14:6; Romans 3:4); the absolute moral standard (Deuteronomy 27:10; Micah 6:8); just (Acts 17:31; Revelation 20:12); the One and only GOD (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 42:8; 43:11; 44:6; 48:12; 1Corinthians 8:6; 1Timothy 2:5; Revelation 22:13); One essence and three distinct persons known as the Trinity (Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19; Mark 1:9-11; 2Corinthians 13:14); the Father is GOD (Matthew 6:9,32; John 4:23; 5:45; 6:27; Romans 1:7; 15:6; 1Corinthians 8:6; 2Corinthians 1:3; Philippians 2:11; Hebrews 12:9; 2Peter 1:17); the Son is GOD (Isaiah 42:8; 44:6; John 1:1,14; 5:18; 8:19,58; 10:30; 14:7-11; 17:5; 1Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 1:17; 2:8; 5:5-6; 17:14; 19:13; 22:13,16-17); the Holy Spirit is GOD (Genesis 1:2; John 3:5-6; Acts 5:3-4; Romans 8:9-17,26-27; Titus 3:5-7); omniscient (1Kings 8:39; Psalm 139:1-4,15-16; Isaiah 46:10; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 9:4; 10:29-30; 12:25; Mark 2:6-8; Luke 6:8; John 1:47-48; 4:18; 11:11-15; Acts 1:24; 1Corinthians 2:10-11; 1John 3:20); omnipresent (Psalm 33:13-14; 139:7-12; Isaiah 57:15; Jeremiah 23:23-24; Colossians 1:17); omnipotent (Genesis 1; Exodus 7:10-14:31; 1Kings 17:14-24; 2Kings 4:2-7; Job 42:2; Jeremiah 32:27; Daniel 2:21; 3:19-27; Matthew 8:1-4; 9:27-31; 17:24-27; Mark 4:35-41; 16:1-8; Luke 1:37; 9:10-17; John 6:16-21); and never changes (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; James 1:17).

Why is GOD love? Even though GOD knows all, is everywhere at the same time, and possesses all power to do anything, He is omnibenevolent — GOD is absolutely good (Psalm 106:1; 135:3; Nahum 1:7; Mark 10:18; John 3:16-17; Galatians 5:22; 2Thessalonians 1:11; Titus 3:4)! GOD is the great I AM (Exodus 3:14)!

When Jesus asks you, “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15; Mark 8:29; Luke 9:20), what will be your response (Matthew 10:32-33)?

But is it reasonable to believe that a Creator GOD exists? The answer to that question can be found in my other article, “Does A Creator GOD Exist?“
