“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God – who is and who was and who is to come – the Almighty.
Truly, God is. He is the eternal Father who always has been and always will be above all. His existence precedes all creation for he is the origin of the heavens and the earth and all life within it. It is through his Word (logos) that all things were made. Indeed, God is the foundation of law and order. And the government of God is the basis from which all logic, natural laws and moral realities are realized within the world. With unlimited power the everlasting king rules according to infinite knowledge and righteous purposes. The Lord of Hosts – He is the sovereign master of heaven and earth. Although the things of this world fade away, the Holy Father will always be the all-powerful and only wise God. For the immortal God is incorruptible – ever holy and unchangeable in his being. Eternally perfect and immutable, the authority of his word remains forever.]
Out of his infinite power and perfect wisdom, God created heaven and earth. He is the father of humanity having made of one blood all nations of men. From his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. “In him we live, and move and have our being”. We depend on the “Father of light”, for every good thing. The father of creation is ruler and judge over all that he has made. We are his, he is our God, and we are the sheep of his pasture. He who upholds the world looks down from heaven seeing every place and knowing all that transpires. For there is no place that man can hide where God is not afar off. His awareness transcends space and time into the depth of all things, even within the hearts of man. Being immanent everywhere within the universe yet infinitely superior, God alone is able to rule with perfect justice. Government belongs to the transcendent creator of all things.
God is one. He is the only true God and there is no other God besides him. For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth, there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist. Pre-eminence excludes all but one Lord who is the first, greatest, highest, and supreme. And the Lord is one within himself- undivided in person and character. This is in accordance to the creed of Israel, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might”. Accordingly, we are to love God with oneness of person, regarding the Father alone as the Most High God – the Almighty.
God our Father is a living being active in personality and character. As the individual from whom man was made in his image, the divine Father possesses intellect, sensibilities, and will. God makes conscious choices according to his will. Yet, unlike mankind, he is morally perfect in character. Indeed, the Father of Light is holy and righteous, having a purely good nature. He is perfectly righteous and perfectly loving. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Although perfect, God is not just an ideal, principle, or moral law – rather he is a living Father who jealously desires loving relation with his children. His identity as a personal being is profoundly demonstrated through the loving sensibilities he has shown in acts of mercy, loving kindness, and grace. He who is faithful and true has expressed his good will toward creation.
Our all-present Father knows all things about us, yet we are limited in knowledge of the “invisible” God. God is spirit, not of a body of flesh and blood, but is imperishable. No man has ever beheld the immortal Father directly. He dwells in unapproachable light in the realm of heaven with his angels looking down from on high. In fact, it is insufferable for man to see God in all his glory lest he die in the presence of the Holy One. Likewise no man can grasp the fullness of God since finite mortals cannot search the one who is infinite nor attain the wisdom of him who is eternal. Yet he is everywhere and his eyes are at every place and he could be known if we would just grope for him. God can be found, if he is sought in righteousness with clean hands and a pure heart. The Father delights in the welfare of his servants showing his face and giving salvation to all who fear him and follow after truth. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
