We have not always done a good job with the Holy Spirit, maybe even tended to ignore Him. Some of that might be the difficulty of understanding the Trinity; and even in that the Father and Son are more concrete images to us, but not as sure what the Spirit is. We just tend to be more unfamiliar with the third person of the Trinity. That is a shame. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be our Helper. The help Christ has for us today in living the Christian life in this world is the Holy Spirit. We’d do well to not ignore Jesus’ help.

There is a common idea in history, in humanity that we are all seeking the same God. We have different names, different ways of getting to this God; but in the end we are going to find out we were all working toward the same God. It is a polite and tolerant idea. It is just not true. The person who affirms this idea knows very little of the god they follow or that others follow. He is God the Father, a title that implies a relationship with a son or daughter. God reveals Himself as the Father of Jesus in 1 Peter 1:3. That is not the God of the Hindus, Muslims, and it is the God the Jews are currently rejecting.

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised! - Psalm 113:2-3 ESV

The gospel is not merely what God gives, but God Himself. Through His revealed names, God shows that He is the One who meets our deepest need by drawing us into covenant relationship with Himself.

God’s call has never been about how impressive we are. It has always been about His grace at work through ordinary, willing people.

Today our 'what is question' is, 'What is God Like?' We are looking at His attributes. We will use the Bible to answer these questions. We have established its authority and trustworthiness. This book originated from God’s mouth. He gave us the Bible so we could know Him. Man did not research and find God; but rather God revealed Himself through the living word, Jesus, and the written word, the Bible. We will never know everything about God, even in heaven, for we will always be finite, and He will always be infinite. But He has revealed Himself so that we could know Him and bring glory to Him. That is our highest good and where our greatest happiness is found. Let’s get started in seeing what we can understand about what God is like.
