    THEOLOGICAL STUDIES

    THE NATURE
    OF GOD
    PRESENTER
    ALEJANDRINA Moises-TORRES
    God is ONE

    Christians believe that there is only one God

    Ten Commandments: You shall have no other gods


    before me (Exodus 20:3)
    GOD THE

    Christians FATHER

    believe in
    TRINITY GOD THE SON

    GOD THE
    HOLY SPIRIT
    God is ALL-LOVING
    Omnibenevolent means all-loving. According to
    Christian teaching, God proved his all-loving nature by
    sacrificing his only son, Jesus, to make up for
    humankind’s sins. This sacrifice allowed humans the
    opportunity to have eternal life with God in Heaven.
    God is ALL-LOVING

    In his gospel in the Bible, John explains: For God so


    loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
    whoever believes in him shall not perish but have
    eternal life (John 3:16)
    God is ALL-POWERFUL

    Omnipotent means all-powerful. In the Bible,


    God shows his power and involvement in the
    world to human beings many times.
    God is ALL-KNOWING

    Omniscient means all-knowing. God


    knows everything that happens in the
    world.
    God is FORGIVING
    God pardons people who are sorry for doing wrong.
    This is shown in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke
    15:11–32), where a son who has foolishly spent his
    father’s wealth is welcomed back home with open
    arms.
    God is FORGIVING
    Christians believe that God welcomes
    back people who have committed sins
    but ask for forgiveness.
    God is JUDGE
    Many Christians believe that after a person dies,
    God will judge them to decide whether they
    deserve eternal life in Heaven or punishment in
    Hell.
    God is JUDGE
    The Parable of the Sheep and Goats (Matthew
    25:31–46) explains this. The sheep represent
    good people who in life helped others – after
    death, they will go to Heaven. The goats
    represent selfish people – they must go to Hell.
    God is ETERNAL
    God has no beginning or end: The
    everlasting God … will not grow
    tired or weary
    (Isaiah 40:28)
    God is TRANSCENDENT
    God is above and beyond creation. Humans can
    never fully understand the ways of God: As the
    heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways
    higher than your ways and my thoughts than your
    thoughts.
    (Isaiah 55:8–9)
    God is IMMANENT
    God has always been in the world and he continues
    to be.
    Christians believe that God is concerned with the
    lives of people, working miracles and answering
    their prayers.
    God is IMMANENT
    Christians believe that God is a ‘personal’ God,
    meaning a being they can develop a relationship
    with. Some Christians believe that God expresses
    his immanent nature through the actions of the Holy
    Spirit.
