Indescribable And Knowable

Contributed by Brian Bill on Jul 1, 2018

The way we get to know God is by studying His interests and attributes, His character and His characteristics. An attribute is what you “attribute to someone.” Specifically, God’s attributes are those character qualities that uniquely define who He is.
