GOD REVEALS HIMSELF Existing eternally, God is unsustained by Himself or by any other source. He is the ultimate source with infinite capacity. He is the source of sustaining, but does not need to be sustained Himself. God has no beginning. His Old Testament name, Yahweh, means the self-existent One. He is the cause of all existence outside Himself, but He has no cause for Himself. Gods existence is eternal and unalterable. The finite human mind has great difficulty contemplating and reflecting on the infinite and immaterial Mans limited frame of reference cannot fully comprehend or even properly illustrate the invisible, infinite perfect character of God While there is a parallel between the essence of God and the essence of man, the parallel is limited. Gods essence is real; mans essence is real. The nature of God is unseen; the nature of man is has invisible but real attributes such as mentality and volition. Beyond these there is no parallel between divine essence and the essence of the human soul from which man can draw understanding. The only way to gasp the magnificence of divine love is to examine the nature and characteristics of God Himself. The Bible, the infallible Word of God, is the only textbook, the single communique about God and His love. In fact, the Bible defines God in terms of attributes so that man can contemplate and understand the character of God.
