The Nature and Characteristics of God...

Hello!
Week 4 has come to and end. This week, Judy Smith (the speaker) talked about the Nature and Characteristic of God. She opened up the week by looking at the first three chapters in Genesis, and breaking down the original intended relationship that God wanted with us. One thing that she stressed is that God wants community with us. She looked at how important the concept of the Trinity was. It tells us that God has been living in Community with Jesus and the Holy Spirit for an eternity before the earth was created. She also looked at how Isahia 53 is the exact prophecy of Jesus, and how every verse fits the life of Jesus perfectly.
She then looked at the Servent Characteristic of God. Jesus came to serve us, not to rule us. if you look at the world, and its view on things, you come up with words and phrases such as: Dictator, Power, Personal Gain, Controling, The American Dream, Selfish, Fear, Abusive.
If you look at what Jesus was trying to do, you get words like: Humble, Self Sacrificing, Love, Last, Caring, Good Heart, Selfless, Thoughtful, Generous and Respectful. It is good to look at things with the Jesus point of view. It makes things much more enjoyable in the World.
The last thing that Judy said was the God raises the Dead. This was important because if he did not raise the dead, then how are we to get to Heaven when we die?

Thank you for support and prayers!
David
