Who is God? What is He like? Throughout history, many people have asked these questions and many are still searching for answers today. The Bible tells us that God is holy, righteous, and merciful towards mankind. In our sins, we have gone far from God, but in the Gospel, we hear that God has come near to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. God is fully revealed in Jesus, and we see His love for us at Calvary’s cross, where He sent His Son to be a Savior for sinners.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Exodus 34:5-7 “5 And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.6 And Jehovah passed by before his face, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth,7 keeping mercy unto thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but by no means clearing [the guilty]”
Exodus 32:30-33 “30 And it came to pass the next day, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Jehovah: perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.31 And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Alas, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves a god of gold!32 And now, if thou wilt forgive their sin … but if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book that thou hast written.33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.”
Romans 9:1-3 “9 I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,2 that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,3 for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;”
Romans 5:7-10 “7 For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die;8 but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.9 Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.10 For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] his life.”
