God Imparts to Us
I propose today to deal with four qualities which are true of God, but not of us: eternality, being a spirit, the creator, and unchangeableness.
We have a beginning, but no end, so are not eternal.
We are physical with an immaterial part to us.
We can be creative, but we cannot create.
We are always in the process of changing.
During the week, you will study the eight characteristics that God has been pleased to impart to us: knowledge, power, presence, holiness, love, justice, truth, and goodness.
Eternality

Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Spirit

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
Creator

God is the creator
By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

God never changes who He is.
Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
