Bible Question: What is God's major attribute? |
Bible Answer: Hello tgbishop: I would say that God’s major attribute is His sovereignty. It is upon this that I believe everything else rests. He will judge the nations by the standard of His holiness but it is His sovereignty that gives Him the right to judge in the first place. It is by His sovereignty that He has the right and ability to set up His holiness as the standard. Read the book of Job; it is a perfect example of the sovereignty of God and the fact that He extends mercy to who He wishes i.e Job and judges whom He wishes i.e. Job’s friends. It is by His sovereignty that He is able to say that salvation is through no other name but Jesus. It is by His sovereignty that He set all of creation in motion. We appeal to God for justice or help or strength based upon His ability to give it. We can have confidence to come to Him knowing that He can deliver us and that He desires to do so.
