Yet Revealed:

Matthew 11:27  All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

1 Corinthians 2:10-16  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

1 John 5:20  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

He is Just:

Psalm 89:14  Justice and judgement are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Revelation 16:7  And I heard another out of the alter say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgements.

God is Impartial, Faithful, and True:

Deuteronomy 10:17  For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward.

Deuteronomy 7:9  Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Acts 1:24  And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, which knoweth the hearts of men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen.

God is a Disposer of Events:

Genesis 31:29  It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

Proverbs 16:9  A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

John 7:30  Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

God is Supreme Judge:

Psalm 9:8  And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgement to the people in uprightness.

Psalm 50:4  He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

God Exhibited in Christ:

John 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

2 Corinthians 4:6  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 1:2, 3  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

God’s Free Gift to Man:

Romans 8:32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things.

John 4:10  Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

Romans 5:16, 17  And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgement which was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
