Before we can understand what God does, we need to understand who God is.
This series traces the character of God as Scripture reveals Him — His nature, His heart, His holiness, His mercy, and the fullness of His attributes woven together in the person of Christ. Each series post enters a specific passage, follows the author’s argument, and lets Scripture speak for itself.
This is not an abstract list of traits. It is a slow, careful look at the God who has made Himself known — the God whose character stands behind every doctrine, every promise, and every act of redemption.
Start here, follow along, and see how every part of this series builds a clearer, richer understanding of the God who speaks, saves, judges, loves, and reigns.
This series works best when read in order, since each part builds on the last.
But if you’re here for a specific attribute — holiness, mercy, sovereignty, love — feel free to jump ahead and explore. You can always come back and follow the whole thread later.
New posts will release weekly. As each one becomes available, it will appear below.
