Who is God?
Who is God? What is deity? Many of you may feel reluctant to innocently ask these simple-natured questions, fearing the complexity of its answer. That doesn’t have to be the case. The human mind wanders to and fro like a vagabond in a desert, cutting our teeth in this world for a lack of answers, longing for that home called ‘truth’.
God is Holy. This means that God is set apart from all of creation. And understandably so, for He is the Creator and not the created. God is described to be the one and only Father of spirits (Hebrews 12:9). We, on the other hand, are described as being spiritual beings in clay pots (2Corinthians 4:7). Mere physical vessels confined ino a realm dictated by space and time. God, however, is the everlasting, creator of souls who is not subject to space nor time.
The Holy Bible expresses how God framed the dimensions of the earth in wisdom and created the laws of nature by His Word (Job 38-40). Everything we can see, handle and touch will decay. From the trees that sway in the wind, to the physical bodies of animals and human beings, all things that are physical have an expiry date.
‘From the dust we have come, and to dust we shall return’.
- Genesis 3:19
The things that are unseen are the eternal things. Elements that we do not see, last forever (2Corinthians 4:18). This is the principle of understanding the mysterious, yet reachable realm of the spirit. God is Spirit (John 4:24).
