Which do we tend to do?

R.C. Sproul writes, "Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God."
I agree with Chan here "I sometimes struggle with how to properly respond to God's magnitude in a world bent on ignoring or merely tolerating Him. But know this: God will not be tolerated. He instructs us to worship and fear Him."
Characteristics of God:
- God is holy. We don't get to decide who God is (Ex3:14). We don't change that. Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
- God is eternal. Everything began at a certain time, except God - God exists outside of time, and since we are within time, there, is no way we will ever totally grasp that concept.
- God is all-knowing. Scary isn't it? You may be able to 'pull one over' on your family or friends - but never on God.
- God is all-powerful. Don't we live instead as though God is create for us, to do our bidding, to bless us, and to take care of our loved ones?
- God is fair and just. No question about it: God hates and must punish sin. And He is totally just and fair in doing so.

I think there are a few more characteristics of God.
:P teehee
Good point though, and how true it is. Even though something can't be 'more' or 'less' true than something else. Anyway...
Maybe we should hang out/eat lunch again soon? We could even each bring a list of questions to ask the other person! :D
