God Alone
This Blog is a study on what theologians call the Incommunicable Attributes of God. This term refers to certain qualities of God’s being and nature which are not shared with us or any other created being. These are the aspects of His being which set Him apart from all other beings, visible and invisible. As we take time to consider these attributes of God, we are contemplating the qualities that give insight, revelation and understanding into the very nature and character of God.
God Is Knowable
INTRODUCTION: God’s Incommunicable Attributes. The term incommunicable does not mean we can have no knowledge or understanding of these attributes. Rather it means they are impossible to impart to another; or these attributes are not shared with any created being. It is these incommunicable attributes which set God apart from all other beings, visible and invisible.
God Is Omnipotent
PART ONE: The Omnipotence of God is beautiful in its perfection. Mighty as is His power it never over-rides or interferes with His other attributes. His power never moves until He wills and He cannot will but according to His righteousness; nor does His righteousness offend His love and mercy. Yet God cannot exercise His love and mercy without satisfying His justice and holiness. All work together in absolute perfection; all tempered by His pleasure.
God Is Omniscient
PART TWO: Understanding, Wisdom and Knowledge are the three parts of Omniscience. Power without direction and control is always destructive; but properly directed it is always a blessing. This is why the Omnipotence of God is directed by His Omniscience.
God Is Eternal
PART FIVE: Eternal as an attribute is the quality of being which expresses an absolute perfection, meaning it is free from imperfection. It is perfect of both quality and quantity. It is perfect in duration and character. Nothing that has been created can be truly eternal.
