Bible DISCOVERY 24: Nature of GOD

 

Genesis 1:1

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven and the earth.

How many people really know GOD?

How many people care to know about the LORD?

How many Christians make time to know?

This post will help us know more about the nature of GOD.

Through verses His HOLY SPIRIT led me to.

Exodus 34:5-7

King James Version

5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, 

and stood with him there, 

and proclaimed the name of the Lord.

6 And the Lord passed by before him, 

and proclaimed, 

The Lord, The Lord God, 

merciful and gracious, 

longsuffering, 

and abundant in goodness and truth,

7 Keeping mercy for thousands, 

forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, 

and that will by no means clear the guilty; 

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, 

and upon the children's children, 

unto the third and to the fourth generation.

Numbers 23:19

King James Version

and loveth the stranger, 

in giving him food and raiment.

2 Samuel 22:25-28

according to my righteousness;

but thine eyes are upon the haughty, 

that thou mayest bring them down.

and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;

he will have compassion upon us; 

he will subdue our iniquities; 

and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
