The attributes of God can be moral or natural. The
natural attributes pertain to His existence as a infinite, rational spirit. The moral
attributes relate to God as a righteous Spirit.
God has made decrees in keeping with His character.
There are two kinds, perfect (Eph. 1:11) and permissive (I Cor. 10:13;
1 John 2:1-3). God did decree permission for evil to be done but God did not
decree evil.
The Providence of God. "Providence
is that continuous agency of God by which He makes all events of the physical
and moral universe fulfill the original design with which He created it." A. Strong) God is the Author of all things (I Cor.8:6) and has the sovereign right and power to rule all things after the
desire of His own will, (Is. 55:10-11; Ps. 115:3; Dan. 4:35; Job 23:13; I Chr.
29:11-12). All things work to glorify and honor Him and all His creation are
to seek God's plan for existence. (Prov. 16:4; Is. 43:7; Eph. 1:12).
Therefore, God determines events (Acts 12:5-19; 17:24-31), He permits certain events
(Rom. 1:24,28), Certain events are prevented (Gen.20:6), and God directs in His
works (Gen. 50:20; Rom.8:28).
Illustration of the Godhead or
trinity of the one God in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
Time - time is one and made up of
three unique parts which are all the one time. There is past, present and future and each
one of itself is not the other and would not exist without the
other. Without all three time would not exist, take away past and time ceases to exist, it
is not present time or future, this is the same for present or
future.
