The Holiness of God Only God is holy“WHO SHALL NOT FEAR THEE, O LORD, AND GLORIFY THY name? for Thou only art holy” (Rev 15:4). He only is independently, infinitely, immutably holy. In Scripture He is frequently styled “The Holy One”: He is so because the sum of all moral excellency is found in Him. […]

The Immutability of God God is distinguished from His creaturesIMMUTABILITY IS ONE OF THE DIVINE PERFECTIONS WHICH is not sufficiently pondered. It is one of the excellencies of the Creator which distinguishes Him from all His creatures. God is perpetually the same: subject to no change in His being, attributes, or determinations. Therefore God is

The Sovereignty of God God’s sovereignty defined THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD MAY BE DEFINED AS THE exercise of His supremacy—see preceding chapter.  Being infinitely elevated above the highest creature, He is the Most High, Lord of heaven and earth. Subject to none, influenced by none, absolutely independent; God does as He pleases, only as He pleases,

The Supremacy of God Most do not know HimIN ONE OF HIS LETTERS TO ERASMUS, LUTHER SAID, “YOUR thoughts of God are too human.” Probably that  renowned scholar resented such a rebuke, the more so, since it proceeded from a miner’s son; nevertheless, it was  thoroughly deserved. We too, though having no standing among the

The Foreknowledge of God – Part Two Foreknowledge defined  Now the word “foreknowledge” as it is used in the New Testament is less ambiguous than in its simple form “to know.” If every passage in which it occurs is carefully studied, it will be discovered that it is a moot point whether it ever has

The Foreknowledge of God – Part One WHAT CONTROVERSIES HAVE BEEN ENGENDERED BY THIS subject in the past! But what truth of Holy Scripture is there which has not been made the occasion of theological and ecclesiastical battles? The deity of Christ, His  virgin birth, His atoning death, His second advent; the believer’s justification, sanctification,

The Knowledge of God God’s omniscience GOD IS OMNISCIENT. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING: EVERYTHING possible, everything actual; all events and all creatures, of the past, the present, and the future. He is perfectly acquainted with every detail in the life of every being in heaven, in earth, and in hell. “He knoweth what is in the

The Decrees of God The Decree of God is His purpose or determination with respect to future things. We have used the singular number as Scripture does (Rom 8:28; Eph 3:11), because there was only one act of His infinite mind about future things. But we speak as if there had been many, because our

The Solitariness of God The title of this article is perhaps not explicit to indicate its theme. This is partly due to the fact that so few today are accustomed to meditate upon the personal perfections of God. Comparatively few of those who occasionally read the Bible are aware of the awe-inspiring and worship-provoking grandeur

The Sovereignty Of God In Operation: Part Four “For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be the glory forever. Amen”(Rom. 11:22). God’s Method Of Dealing With The Wicked Another equally striking illustration of God directing the wicked is found in Isaiah 10:5-7: “O Assyrian, the rod of Mine
