What does the Bible say
about God?
Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth.
Exodus 34:5-7, Now the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with
him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed before him
and proclaimed, ‘The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious,
longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing
the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the
children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.’
Acts
Psalm 139, O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my
sitting down and my rising up; understand my thought afar off. You comprehend
my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is
not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. You have
hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon
me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is
high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your
presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are
there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell
in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, Your
right hand shall hold me. If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall fall on
me,’ Even the night shall be light about
me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the
day; darkness and the light are both alike to You. For You
formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise
You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not
hidden from You, When I was made in secret, skillfully
wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet
unformed. And in Your book they all were
written, The days fashioned for me, as yet there were
none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to
me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be
more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
