There are certain characteristics (attributes) of God that are non-negotiable. There are three which always come to the forefront:
His Omnipotence- He is all-powerful.
His Omnipresence- He is all-present (everywhere present)
His Omniscience- He is all-knowing.
To know those characteristics of God AND TO BELIEVE THEM is absolutely essential. As I continue my series on Revelation, I hit this week what is probably the most familiar 2 chapters in all the book- the 7 churches. I plan to take chapter 2 this week and follow up next week with chapter 3. I plan to focus on what God knows, especially on what He knows about the churches (and by proxy…us).
What does it mean He knows? He knows absolutely everything that can be known. He has no need to learn anything. He does not a computer (don’t you wish?) He doesn’t need Google (again…I wish). And He certainly doesn’t need any of us telling him what He must and must not do, or should or should not do!
I’ll be summing up the first four churches this week like this:
- Ephesus- He knows what and who we really love.
- Smyrna- He knows what we are willing to suffer for.
- Pergamum- He know what we really believe.
- Thyatira- He knows what we are willing to tolerate.
Join us won’t you? We meet in person and live stream at both 9:00 and 10:45.
