“GOD IS…”
Several years ago, i taught a teen class in which we each committed to read a certain section of Scripture so that together we could cover the entire Bible in three months! Our primary purpose, however, was NOT to read the entire Bible in ¼ of a year, although we did. Our major mission was to come to a better understanding of the nature of God. Therefore each Sunday, no matter what section of Scripture any of us had read during the week, we each came prepared to share our “GOD IS...” discoveries.
Below is a one week sample of what the teens shared with one another on the nature of God: GOD IS…
THE KEEPER OF PROMISES, FAIR, TRIUNE (Genesis)
HOLY (Leviticus)
A DISCIPLINARIAN (Numbers)
A FORWARD THINKER (Ruth)
FAITHFUL IN HIS PROMISES, BLESSER (1 & 2 Chronicles)
OUR STRONGHOLD, TRUE, WRATH, ENTHRONED FOREVER, GOOD (Psalms)
OMNIPRESENT, RELIABLE, TEACHER, DIRECTOR, JUST, OUR HELP (Isaiah)
THE LEADER (Micah)
GREAT IN POWER, A REFUGE (Nahum)
MIGHTY TO SAVE (Zephaniah)
SLOW TO ANGER (Minor Prophets)
A REDEEMER, A HEALER, THERE FOR YOU (Matthew)
TRIUNE, RELATIONAL, SERVANT (John)
KIND, SEVERE (Romans)
PRESENT IN HIS HOLY SPIRIT, LOVE, CONNECTOR (Ephesians/Philippians)
MYSTERIOUS, FAMILY ORIENTED (Colossians)
COMING SOON, A PLANNER (1 Thessalonians)
GRACEFUL! A TESTER! MAGNIFICENT! SOVEREIGN! (1 & 2 Timothy)
All in all, after three months, we discovered that GOD IS:
- GREATER THAN OUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIM
- GREATER THAN OUR THEOLOGY OF HIM
- GREATER THAN OUR EXPERIENCE IN HIM!
GOD IS... GOOD! Mr. Steve
