Some are guilty of stealing God’s identity by misrepresenting Him. - A prosperity God
- A universalism God
- A fast food God – so you can “have it your way”
- A limited God
- A political God
- A legalistic God
Most of us want a God who serves us rather than a God we serve! - I Am a Compassionate and Gracious God.
- He is compassionate in that He loves and cares for us as a mother would her children.
- His grace means He comes to the aid of the weak.
- Compassion and grace are not what God does but who God is.
- I Am a Loving and Faithful God.
- He is a God who loves us with a love that never fails. He is a God who loves us and is committed to His Word.
- I Am a Forgiving and Just God.
- He forgave us, but then He invited us to live with Him.
- Forgiveness occurs for those who repent, while punishment remains for those who refuse to repent.
- God doesn’t punish the children for the father’s sin, but the point is that children suffer because of parent’s sinful decisions.
