Below you'll find a list of all posts that have been tagged as “attributes of God”
God’s Love is sovereign, powerful, holy, immutable, eternal, infinite, indestructible and glorious. His love goes along with all the other attributes of God. It is HIs love that brought Lord Jesus down to the earth and made God approachable, accessible and personal.
God’s love at the same time is also demanding. This radical love demands and empowers us to love Him back. If it was not for the love of God, we could not love Him by ourselves.
The wrath of God is an indispensable attribute of God. His wrath is an expression of His justice. God not only appreciates virtue but condemns vice. God doesn’t simply appreciate wisdom but condemns folly. He does not only desire good in us but hates the sin in us. God’s wrath is an expression only against our Sin. Man’s ungodliness invites the wrath of God. His wrath is coupled with His love and mercy.
A detailed exposition on the ‘Power of God’. The Bible gives us insight into the mystery of God’s power and how it is different from Man’s power. God’s power is synonymous to His name and Word. His Power is dynamite, energetic, forceful and also authoritative. His power goes along with the other attributes of God. It is His power that raised Jesus from the dead and gives credibility to the gospel of the Cross. God’s power is communicable like His Wisdom and is attainable through the cognizance of our weaknesses.
Certain attributes of God are incommunicable such as His – self-sufficiency, immutability, independence, omniscience, etc. These attributes of God are distinct from man and makes God who He is. But there are certain attributes that are communicable and one of them is Wisdom of God.
The wisdom of God is pure, peaceable, gentle, full of mercy, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. God’s wisdom cannot be compared to Man’s as it’s value is more than fine rubies. This wisdom can be available to those who fear God and shun evil.
The law, the knowledge of good and evil exacerbated the condition of mankind. But the wisdom of God emboldens man to stay far from the exposure of evil.
God makes it clear that He cares for generations, generations past, present and future. People change but God does not, despite having ample of reasons to bail out on a disobedient creation like humans. The word of God is unchangeable. Its equally relevant to people who were living thousands of years ago and people from this day and age. God’s promises do not change. God’s calling does not change. God’s Holiness & love is unchanging.
The holiness of God is much more than an attribute of God; it is a synonym of who God is. Br. Abraham Koshy continues from the Glory by showing how it is integral to holiness and examines its root word ‘separate’. Afterward, he discusses the repulsiveness of holiness and how it is made accessible in Jesus Christ; he then explores the standards of holiness and finally contrasts the mount of Sinai with the mount of Zion.
When you hear the word glory, what comes to mind? Br. Abraham Koshy explains the greatness of God’s glory. He also shows how the people of Israel have warped their definition of God’s glory. After giving three key approaches to seeing God’s glory in the bible, he shows how through Christ and with the help of the bible we can magnify the glory of God.

The Creator is the one who is not created nor does he need anything. Br. Abraham Koshy discusses the exclusivity of God, how there is only him. Next, he examines the reasons he is so exclusive, which include the fact that he is eternal, self-sufficient, complete in Himself and is independent of time. His last point is that God does not need us, yet still gave His son to purchase us as children.
It goes without saying that the God of the Bible is the greatest and unknowable being in the universe. How could we mortal humans possibly know such an almighty being? Br. Abraham Koshy highlights the perils of not understanding God, the dangers of understanding Him and finally shows us how to know God.
