THE GOSPEL AND THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD Clause Samples

THE GOSPEL AND THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you (Psalm 9:10). 1. Sin distorts our view of God and thus distorts our view of ourselves, others and the world around us (Genesis 3:1-3). Scripture helps us understand the truth about God and thus transforms our perspective on everything. The root of many problems is a result of a distortion of God’s character. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ (an American pastor and author who died in the earlier 1960‘s) wrote, “The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us” (The Knowledge of the Holy, pp. 6-7). 2. The more we grow in our awareness of God’s holiness the more we become aware of our sinfulness (Isaiah 6:1-7). Until we are aware we are great sinners we will never know our need for a great Savior. The more we become aware of our sinfulness the sweeter God’s grace becomes. The Cross of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ looms larger and large in our lives and transforms us. 3. The more we understand the attributes of God the more deeply we will rest in the freedom of God’s grace. His forgiveness is based upon his character not our character (Psalm 25:11). 4. The more we understand the attributes of God the more deeply it will transform our prayer lives. What we really believe about God shows up in our prayers. Knowing the character of God invites us to pray with great confidence relying on the strong hand of our redeemer to move (Nehemiah 6:3-8). 5. The more we understand the attributes of God the more we will understand God’s plan for our lives. Until we have a vision of God we will never have a vision from God (Isaiah 6:8). 6. The more we understand the attributes of God the more we will fear God. There is great joy in standing in awe of the greatness and holiness of God (Nehemiah 1:11). It is a life-altering and life-shaping joy. It will deepen our worship and affections for God. ▇▇▇▇▇ continues to write, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us … Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God” (The Knowledge of the Holy, p.
