Exploring what the Bible teaches about the nature and attributes of God—His existence, character, sovereignty, and Trinitarian nature.
Towards the end of January 2026 you should see a number of posts here.
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 02001 When Christians speak about “the doctrine of God,” they are entering the territory that theologians call Theology Proper. The name is significant. Of all the doctrines that make up the framework of Christian belief, this is the one that concerns the being, nature, and character of God Himself. Everything else in theology depends…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02009 Several passages in Scripture speak of God “not remembering” the sins of those He has forgiven. For some people this is the most comforting language in the Bible. For others it raises a puzzling question: if God knows everything, how can He forget anything? Getting the answer right matters, because misunderstanding it can…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02014 The phrase “God hates the sin but loves the sinner” has become so familiar in Christian circles that most people assume it must be in the Bible somewhere. It is not. The reality the Bible presents is more complex, more demanding, and ultimately more searching than that popular summary allows. Getting this right…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 06066 This question touches one of the deepest fault lines in all of theology — the relationship between God’s purposes and the existence of evil in His creation. Scripture affirms with remarkable plainness that God can and does bring good out of evil. It also affirms with equal plainness that God is not the…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02040 Where is God right now? It seems like a simple question, but the answer touches on one of the most profound truths about the divine nature. Every human being exists somewhere — we are located, bounded, present in one place at a time. God is not like that. The doctrine of omnipresence declares…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 02041 Of all the attributes of God presented in Scripture, holiness occupies a unique place. It is not simply one characteristic among many; it is the attribute that the biblical writers single out for the most intense emphasis. The angels in Isaiah’s vision do not cry “love, love, love” or “power, power, power.” They…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 02042 “God loves you” may be the most repeated statement in Christian communication, yet it is also among the most casually assumed. In popular usage, it can become little more than a warm feeling attached to a benign deity who means well — something entirely different from what the New Testament actually presents. The…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02043 Justice is one of the deep human instincts. Even people who have no settled belief in God are profoundly disturbed when wrong goes unpunished and the innocent suffer while the guilty prosper. This instinct is not accidental. It reflects something embedded in human nature — a sense that there is a moral order…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02044 Mercy is the attribute of God that most people instinctively reach for in moments of crisis. When things go badly wrong — when the weight of failure, guilt, or fear becomes acute — the prayer most naturally formed is a cry for mercy. Understanding what mercy actually is, how it relates to justice,…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02045 Of all God’s attributes, wrath is the one modern Christianity finds most uncomfortable. There is a widespread preference for a God defined entirely by love and generosity, with wrath quietly relocated to the margins or reframed as something merely metaphorical. The biblical picture is more demanding than this. God’s wrath is real, it…
