We are born with a God-conscious mind. There is an instinct I'm man that tells us that there is God. At creation, God put within man the instinctive knowledge that He exists.

Who is God?

• GOD IS OMNIPOTENT

His power knows no limitation. He is all powerful and nothing is too hard for Him. Let us never limit the Almighty God. We can place all our problems and needs against His omnipotence and miracles will flow into our lives.

• GOD IS OMNIPRESENT

God is everywhere at all times. This gives us both comfort and caution. There is no place a man may hide from the searching eyes of God.

• GOD IS OMNISCIENT

He is perfect in knowledge. God has perfect knowledge of all that transpires in human existence. There is no problem that he cannot solve.

• GOD IS A SPIRIT

God thinks, feels, speaks and acts, yet He is not subject to limitations as human beings. He cannot be seen by natural eyes. We can only worship and communicate with him in the spirit. This brings the necessity of being born-again ( born of the Spirit) so that we can fellowship with our Father who is a Spirit.

• GOD IS INFINITE

God is not limited by earthly boundaries. He is everywhere. He holds a position of absolute authority.

• GOD IS HOLY

If God is holy, He expects holiness from those who worship Him. A holy God requires holy people to worship and serve Him.

• GOD IS LOVE

This nature of God is what draws the plan of salvation for man. Through His love, He gives us everything freely including the only begotten Son.
