Introduction

For Christians, a correct concept of God puts the rest of life in perspective. It is the anchor for stabilizing the practical realities of daily life. Many have also noted that people become like the God they serve. The answers to questions like, “What kind of a world do we want to live in? How do we want people to treat each other? What is right and what is wrong? in the end come to be based on the view of God that we hold, or lack of one. This is one of the truly fundamental issues of life that each of us ought to consider carefully.

One man has wisely said,[1]

         Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfold(ed), as it were, with no sense of direction and no          understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.

 Also, knowing about God is not enough. That same scholar said:

          Our concern must be to enlarge our acquaintance, not simply with the doctrine   of God’s attributes, but with the living God whose attributes they are. …We           must seek, in studying God, to be led to God.[2]

 I am here to present a Christian view of God from the Bible, with the hope that it will bring you closer to God.
