Your God is too small -

The greatest thinking anyone could do is to think about God, i.e. the true nature and Character of God. What you think about God will directly affect how you live. The sad thing is that too many people have too small a concept of God, an inadequate view of God.
God has given us the Bible to reveal to us concerning his nature and character. God reveals to us how we can know Him.
God is spirit- with a life and personality
God is living and not merely an impersonal force. Only a personality can love.
God is self-existent- He is unique from man and therefore can not be described/labelled the way you would a man.
God is immutable- He does not change.
God is Omnipotent
God is Ominipresent
God is Omniscient
God is Transcendent- He is detached from all His creation as an independent, self-existing being. God is actively concerned and involved with His creation.
God is Sovereign.
God is Holy
God is Love
God is Truth.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
