"I believe in God, The Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth". -1st Article of the Apostle's Creed. We say it every week in worship, but do we actually think about what we're saying!
We spent this week in Confirmation thinking about the question, "Who is God?... What does God look like? How do we address God by name? Does God the Creator have a gender? etc. How do we know who God is?
Think of all the names we use for God that are Biblical-there are a lot of them! (Creator, Redeemer, Savior, The Almighty, Lord, The Holy One, The Son of Man, The Holy Spirit, Prince of Peace, Father, Comforter, Immanuel...and many, many more).
Think about the Biblical adjectives we use to describe God...all powerful (omnipotent), all knowing, omnipresent, transcendent, Perfect, Holy, Healing, etc...
God is bigger than we can imagine, and yet totally personal. Our One God spoke creation into existence (and still does!), and yet also is totally personal and knows the deepest longings of our hearts. That's incredible!
As we continue to journey though the year we will continue to piece the question of "who God is" together. Ask hard questions and wrestle with these questions. God is big enough to handle any questions we have. For a reminder of how amazing our God is read Psalm 139.
God's Peace to you and yours this week!
