The Essence of God are the characteristics of God: His attributes; His divine integrity; Who and What God is. God is Holy.
Jesus Christ is the “flashing forth” of God’s essence.
The essence of God – God’s absoluteness; God is! God is Love.
Someone summed-up the subject quite well: “Love is what God is, as well as what God does. Never is such a definition used of man. We might love someone or something, but we are never said to be love.“
The Characteristics (qualities, traits, attributes) of Divine Essence (that which makes up God) Are Absolutes
- Sovereignty/Eternal Life
- Justice/Righteousness – His Holiness
- Veracity/Immutable
- Love/Mercy
- Omniscience – All Knowing
- Omnipotence – All Powerful
- Omnipresence – God is Everywhere
- Immutability – Faithful
- Veracity – Truth
This is the God we serve.
Perhaps you would consider writing these things down at the very front of your own Bible… as a reminder of the mighty, Living God we serve.
Be blessed today.
Happy Studying in Fields of Grace.
