Summary: God is beyond our comprehension as our limited three-pound brain cannot fathom his true nature. He has always existed and is the ultimate ruler of everything. Therefore, he does not rely on any created thing to sustain him, but everything that exists must depend on him for its continued existence.

PROLOGUE

This message came about as I thought about everything we encounter on life's journey. It seems as though we are being prepared for something greater, something that is somewhere in our future. Therefore, when I see the innocent suffer and the wicked prosper, I catch myself with a prayer on my lips, asking God, How am I, as your preacher, going to make you look good to someone in need? You were not there for the family of Lazarus when they were in desperate need, and you missed the wake when he died.

As I pondered this in my heart, I remember being taught that there is a God of this world and he is called Satan the deceiver, the accuser and the master of lies but Saints, we let me tell you that we have an awesome creator who loves us more than we could ever imagine, for he proved it in sending his Son to die that awful death on that old rugged cross to defeat Satan the master deceiver stripping him of his authority over death, hell and the grave.

God's love demonstrates his mercy in giving his Son Jesus to die in our place, and beloved, his mercy can be seen in the old, rugged cross. All our songs, praise, prayers, communion, preaching, and giving, including all of our worship, reflect the mercy of God, which can be seen in Jesus Christ the Son.

Behind this universe stands an awesome, powerful God who sits on his throne. If we look there, we will not find warring spirits attempting to overthrow him, for he is all powerful and majestic, beloved, because he is the judge and ruler over all creation, and when we catch a glimpse of who he is and of his holy character, realizing that it is what separates him from all other things because he is not dependent upon what has been created to sustain him. Still, all things created, both seen and unseen, must depend upon him for their continued existence.

In summary, let me say that God exists beyond the confines of space and time, unbound by their limitations. His nature transcends the physical universe, allowing Him to operate in a realm beyond human comprehension. In His infinite greatness, God has no equal; His power is absolute and unparalleled. He governs all creation with authority and wisdom, inspiring awe and reverence in all who seek to understand His divine presence.

"A LOOK AT THE GOD OF MERCY."

In this message, we will explore the profound attributes of God that not only distinguish Him as supreme majesty but also establish Him as the ultimate judge of the universe. These divine attributes highlight His unparalleled wisdom, boundless love, and perfect justice, which play crucial roles in shaping our understanding of His purpose in our lives and His influence on the cosmos.

By examining His omnipotence, we acknowledge that God is all-powerful, capable of effecting anything within and beyond creation according to His will and purpose. His omniscience reveals that He is all-knowing, possessing complete and infinite knowledge of past, present, and future events, as well as the thoughts and intentions of every individual. Finally, His omnipresence emphasizes that He is present everywhere at all times, transcending the limitations of space and time.

Together, these attributes provide profound insight into how God's divine qualities intricately influence our lives and shape the natural order of the world around us. Among these qualities is His remarkable willingness and desire to extend mercy, reflecting His infinite compassion and love for humanity.

God’s mercy is not merely an act of kindness; it serves as a guiding principle that fosters forgiveness, restoration, and hope, encouraging us to embody these virtues in our own lives. By understanding and embracing this aspect of God’s character, we gain a clearer perspective on our relationship with the divine and our responsibilities toward one another in our everyday interactions.
