This mistake tames God in our merely human eyes because we can easily understand people like that\u2014who are mainly loving.&nbsp;What God shows in Scripture is that God, in all three persons, is the glorious definition and perfection of all his attributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Father loved the world and gave his Son to satisfy God\u2019s holy punishment of sin (John 3:16; 1 John 2:2; Rom 8:3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Son only does the things He sees the Father doing so he loved us and gave Himself for us as the one who rightly can condemn sin (John 5:19-20; Eph 5:2; John 5:22; Rom 8:34)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Holy Spirit, as knowing the mind of God by being God, and&nbsp;taking the place of the Son on Earth, creates fruit in the lives of God\u2019s people by creating love, holiness, purity, and godliness (John 14:16; 1 Cor 2:11; Gal. 5:22; 1 Peter 1:16; 1Thes 4:7)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tells us that God, in all three persons, is: love, holy, truth, light, life, (and so on) all at the same time! There is no person in the Trinity that is love while another is holy, and another is judge. There is no attribute that is more indicative of who God is in His essence, than any other. God is love through His holiness and He is holy through his love and both through His truth and all through His life and life through all. That is a confusing sentence but also starts to reflect the bigness of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God is not loving or holy or truthful because there is some concept of love, or holiness, or truthfulness out there in space. God is the definition and example of all His attributes. We can only love or tell the truth or do right or be kind because God, in His essence, known in all three persons, is the meaning of those things! Christian, shudder! Stand back in awe! Shut your mouths in utter wonder! This is the basis of the constant Biblical refrain: the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a mistake of saying that God is mainly Love or mainly Holy.
