Good morning,
This week we continue our series, Who is God? This devotional will answer that question.
Who is God?
A Devotional Study on the Attributes of God
Arthur Pink et al.
(You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)
“If anyone does not love the Lord, that person is cursed!” — 1 Corinthians 16:22
God’s curse is the solemn sentence upon sin. It reveals the seriousness of transgression. Yet Christ became a curse for us, that we might be freed from condemnation. The believer no longer fears the curse, for it has fallen on Another. But let us warn others, for outside of Christ, the curse remains.
22. The Gifts of God
“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” — 2 Corinthians 9:15
God gives freely, fully, and forever. The gift of His Son is the fountain of every other gift. He gives wisdom, strength, righteousness, and eternal life. We deserve nothing—yet He gives us everything in Christ. Receive His gifts with reverence, and use them for His glory.
23. The Guidance of God
“He guides the humble in what is right.” — Psalm 25:9
God does not leave His people to wander. He guides by His Word, His Spirit, and His providence. His paths may not be smooth, but they are always good. Seek His direction in prayer, submit to it with joy, and trust that He leads with perfect wisdom and fatherly care.
24. The Gospel of the Grace of God
“The gospel… is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.” — Romans 1:16
The gospel is not advice, but divine announcement—God saves sinners! It is grace from first to last: planned by the Father, accomplished by the Son, applied by the Spirit. It humbles the proud, exalts Christ, and transforms the heart. Proclaim it, cherish it, and never move beyond it.
