Who is God?

Victoria V.

If you’re like me, sometimes you wonder about God. What’s He like? What are His attributes? What exactly are His promises? How do those promises apply to me? You can answer all of these questions by reading the Bible!

This summer, I started working on a self-made Bible study that has helped me so much with answering all of those questions. It’s pretty simple and easy to do! I read a verse of the Bible and figure out what God is saying about either Himself or His promises, then I write it down in a specific book I have for this study. Each page has an attribute or promise of God at the top. You’d be surprised how many Bible verses line up together! I think the easiest book of the Bible to do this in is Psalms.

Here’s an example from Psalms 27: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalms 27:1 ESV)

When you read this verse, what is it saying? (I’ve underlined it just for some clarity) “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Those words are the start to the pages in my book.

Page One might say, “God is my Strength,” and Page Two might say, “God is my Salvation.” Then, I copy out all the verses that say that about God. I know women and girls who have done this Bible study and compiled over five hundred pages of the attributes of God, and it’s amazing.

For someone who thinks about God and His attributes or promises daily, I encourage you to try this Bible study. I think you’ll learn some very important things about God, the one who created you, loves you, and wants you to have a relationship with Him.
