Who is God? What is he like? We may have heard that he is loving, but is he also strict, demanding, and judgmental? Are his punishments fair? Has he not ordered the genocide of entire nations and the execution of individuals for seemingly small offenses? Does he require perfect obedience from each of us? Are his expectations reasonable? Has the standard of right and wrong remained consistent throughout history? For that matter, does God ever change?
If we desire to know him, we must begin by understanding his character. This will reveal not only who he is but also what kind of individual he is. In this book, we carefully study Scripture to answer these questions. Our search begins in the Garden of Eden where the character of Satan is unmasked. An understanding of the motives behind his words and actions will reveal how he has systematically maligned, misrepresented, and slandered the character of God. From this starting point, we pursue a verse-by-verse study of key passages in Scripture, which launches us into multiple topics as we seek to fully understand the text.
The Bible is our sole guide. We will allow it to support, teach, amplify, and reiterate those truths that it advocates. Piece by piece, we will uncover the character of the divine.
