About this ebook
Who is God? It is a question that has been asked throughout the expanse of human history and has been answered in a myriad of ways. Answers have ranged from the worship of inanimate objects, nature's wonders, and fictitious characters to the worship of the true and everlasting God as revealed in the Bible. However, even using the Bible as a common reference, there have been a multitude of different interpretations of who God is, what His character is, what His desire is for us, and how we relate to Him. This book draws from the biblical record a view of God that is supported by Scripture rather than from conjecture and outside sources. Where there seem to be inconsistent perspectives present in the Scripture, I have tried to identify them but conclude with the predominate perspective as the most tenable. It makes sense that God, in communicating to people, would help us by making the correct view predominate. In drawing from the Bible, I have found that God is a loving Father in heaven; that all people are His children; that He loves His children and desires that all be saved; that He has provided a means by which all may be saved—through His Son Jesus Christ; that in our day God reveals himself through the Holy Ghost (among other ways); and that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost comprise one God. You will find that the bulk of this work is a quotation of scripture, organized by topic in relation to the identity of God. Commentary has been added in an attempt to summarize the concepts I believe are conveyed in the scriptures; however, the commentary comprises a lessor portion of the work. The work may almost be thought of as a topical concordance concerning the identity of God with limited commentary. At any rate, the reader is invited to review the cited scriptural references, in addition to all others contained in the Scriptures, and draw his or her own conclusion based on the content and on the witness of the Holy Ghost. The scriptures declare that the Holy Ghost is the testator of all truth and that when we sincerely seek the truth, we shall find it. I have found the references cited in this work helpful in aiding my own search for the answer to the question: who is God? I am confident that they will do the same for you.
