To me, the study of the person of God is like plunging into a bottomless sea. It means to feed on Jesus, the bread of life. Psalm 37:3 says, “Trust in the Lord, and do good dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” What does it mean to feed on His faithfulness? It means to feed on His goodness, on His mercy, on His power, on His presence, on His promises, on His love, and on all His endless and infinite attributes and qualities. God seeks to be known, He desires to be worshiped, and He reveals Himself in His creation and in His Word. Trying to comprehend the person of God is like trying to capture all the galaxies of the universe in a child’s prism. He is our Prophet, Priest, and King our Redeemer, Refuge, and Rock. He is Maker, Mediator, and Man of sorrows. We can call Him Jehovah, the Most High, and the Lord of the living and the dead. His Name is I AM, the Alpha and Omega, and the Holy One of Israel. He is the Great Physician and the God of all grace. He is the Comforter, the Counselor, the Creator. What false gods dominate our age?

Nothing is more critical to your life right now. According to the Bible, He has revealed aspects of Himself in both nature and in Scripture, and we can know Him who is unsearchable. His riches are unsearchable (Ephesians 3:8). His judgments are unsearchable (Romans 11:33, NIV). The Bible says His greatness is unsearchable (Psalm 145:3). You may not know God as well as you think, for He is far above us as the heavens are above the earth. Some say the greatest question in life is: Does God exist? I say the greatest question is: Do I know the God who does exist? Do I know about Him, and do I know Him personally? I’ve spent my life being overwhelmed with the wonder of the person of God, and it’s the greatest joy of my heart to share with you some eternal truths about the God you may not know.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. Greater love has no one than this than to lay down one’s life for his friends. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
