The character of God

AW Tozer said, ‘the most important thing about you is what comes into your head when you think about God’. Knowing who God is, is of the upmost importance in living out the Christian life. Like the Israelites we all have a tendency to make God into our own image… In the introduction to this series Steve takes us through the most quoted verses in the Old Testament to discover what God has said about Himself. We see the importance of God’s self-revelation in helping us know who He truly is.

Exodus 34:5–7 (Listen)

The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands,1 forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
