The Seven Main Aspects of God
Have you ever asked yourself the question: What is God like? We are told to pray by turning away from the problem and thinking about God; but how are to think about God? What is His nature? What is His Character? Where is He? Can we really contact Him, and if so, how?
The first and most fundamental thing to realize is that God is not just a superior kind of man. The Bible says that God is spirit and that they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. To worship Him in spirit means to get a spiritual understanding of His nature. To define God would be to limit Him, but we can get an excellent working knowledge of God by considering different aspects of His nature. Of these there are seven main aspects of His nature. Thinking of any aspect you will get your result more quickly and more easily.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead …(Romans 1:20).
As we come to know the aspects of God’s nature, our own true nature is also revealed. Then, let us compare our God-given nature to the aspects of our human-driven nature that we have embraced and made part of our reality. If they are the same, then we are manifesting our God-given nature. If they are different, then we still have work to do.
When there is no difference between our human-driven nature and our God-given nature, we realize and recognize the Eden God has given us here below. It is then that we can walk in that garden each day, filled with hope, joy and peace. Until then, God’s infinite love and bountiful mercy will continue to guide us toward the garden, and his limitless forgiveness will allow us to start anew every day with love and grace… if we but ask.
Seeking God’s nature,
Stan
