GOD IS INDIVISIBLE
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one".
Deuteronomy 6:4
"Mom, what is God like? Is He like a diamond?" the boy asked his mom as she read him the Bible before putting him to bed. He was closer to the truth that he knew. Just like a diamond is one, in structure, so is God. God doesn't have any parts like humans do, and like a diamond can't be split in parts without losing its integrity, God can't be separated in different parts.
The attributes are not parts of God. They are declarations about God, His Character or His Nature, in order to make God intelligible to us. God is Spirit and dwells in a dimension different than ours. His dimension is more real than ours, not just an ethereal place lacking reality. In a very real sense, Heaven and Hell are places where real people live.
God is also a Person. More different and glorious than any person you may have known. In the next few days we will be learning about the Person of God, and His attributes. Ask God to give you discernment and comprehension so you can grasp all you can about the Person of God.
Father, I want to know You. Give me a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of who You are. Let me know You in Your greatness and glory. Let me know that I serve an Awesome God, greater than I can imagine. Yet, He still loves me, cares for me and wants to bless me.
