Truth About God's / Jesus's Character

God is love - 1 John 4:8 - "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."

God is eternal - Revelation 1:8 - “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

God never changes - Hebrews 13:8 - "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

God is righteous - Psalm 145:7 - "They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness."

God wants every person to come into relationship with Him - John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

God is slow to anger, and full of love - Exodus 34:6-7 - "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."

God does not want to punish us or be afraid of Him - 1 John 4:18 - "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

God made the heavens and the earth - Psalm 102:25 - "Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands."

God is good, and everything He does is good - Psalm 119:68 - "You are good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes."

Nothing can ever separate us from God's love - Romans 8:38-39 - "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

You are God's crown of beauty - Isaiah 62:3 - "You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God."

God is your healer and your redeemer - Psalm 103:2-4 - "Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,"

God knows we are sinners, and died for us nonetheless - Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

God created you and set you apart for Himself - Jeremiah 1:5 - "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."

You are precious to God - Isaiah 43:4 - "Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life."

God takes pleasure in you - Psalm 147:11 - "The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy."

God is your helper and provider - Psalm 54:4 - "Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life."

God gives you power and strength - Isaiah 40:29-31 - "He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."

God gives us defense and refuge - Isaiah 25:4 - "For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall."

We were made for God - John 1:3 - "All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."

God is our peace - Philippians 4:7 - "and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

 

Satan's lie: You are a sinner because you sin. God's truth: You are a saint (one declared righteous by God) who sins.

Satan's lie: Your identity comes from what you have done. God's truth: Your identity comes from what God has done for you.

Satan's lie: Your identity comes from what people say about you. God's truth: Your identity comes from what God says about you.

Satan's lie: Your behavior tells you what to believe about yourself. God's truth: Your belief about yourself determines your behavior.

I am assured all works together for good - Romans 8:28 - "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."

I am free from any charge against me - Romans 8:31-34 - "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us."

I cannot be separated from the love of God - Romans 8:35-39 - "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

I am established, anointed, sealed by God - 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 - "Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee."

I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind - 2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

I can find grace and mercy in time of need - Hebrews 4:16 - "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

I am born of God; the evil one cannot touch me - 1 John 5:18 - "We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him."

 

I am Significant


I am the salt and the light of the earth - Matthew 5:13-14 - "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."

I am a branch of the true vine, a channel of His life - John 15:1, 5 - “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.", "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."

I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit - John 15:16 - "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you."

I am a personal witness of Christ's - Acts 1:8 - "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

I am God's temple - 1 Corinthians 3:16 - "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?"

I am a minister of reconciliation for God - 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

I am God's co-worker - 1 Corinthians 3:9, 2 Corinthians 6:1 - "For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.", "We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain."

I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realm - Ephesians 2:6 - "and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,"

I am God's workmanship - Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."

I may approach God with freedom and confidence - Ephesians 3:12 - "in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him."
