What does the Bible say about God?

People have their own image of God - yet God presents himself in the Bible in a variety of ways. I thought I'd go back to what's in that book to see the way God is portrayed there. Find out what the Bible says, in the Old and New Testament, about God.

God on devotion to Himself

Bible verses about devotion to The Lord

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these

The Bible: Mark 12:30-31

This, then, is how you should pray:
'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.[a]'
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 6 (New International Version of the Bible): 9-15

Amplified Bible, with index

A translation that goes back to the original languages to get the most accurate reading possible in the English language. If I were going to get me another Bible - this would be the one I'd pick.

Proverbs 30: The Words of Agur

The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle.

The man declares, I am weary, O God;
I am weary, O God, and worn out.
2 Surely I am too stupid to be a man.
I have not the understanding of a man.
3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is his son's name?
Surely you know!

5 Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words,
lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.

7 Two things I ask of you;
deny them not to me before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is needful for me,
9 lest I be full and deny you
and say, "Who is the Lord?"
or lest I be poor and steal
and profane the name of my God.

New King James Bible

New King James translation of the Bible. Close to the classic King James translation, but more modern in its language. This Bible will give you that classic feel that comes from centuries of Bible reading in Western culture.

On God's blessing to his people

A blessing I will condense and pass on to you: May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you, and give you peace.

Bible, Numbers 7:24-26

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me


Bible, Philippians 4:13

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.


Romans 8:28

Psalm 121 (New International Version)

A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you-
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

    The consequences of your obedience to the call of Jesus in forsaking the pursue of the "American Dream" will bring you nothing but trouble and hardship. If you put "discipleship" to Jesus above your family, above your community, and above your country and live that way, your family, your community and your country will turn on you-unless they follow you.
    The 'Jesus reality' will bring you to a cross, and members of your family, members of your community and citizens of your country will the ones with the nails and hammers in their hands pegging you to that cross.- Telly Savalas Lattimore

    There's the Salvation of Jesus in a believer and there is some ulgy (sinful) ways in the same believer; the ulgy (sinful) ways need to come up as well as who you are in Christ, because it is who you are in Christ that will make the difference not only in your life from those ulgy (sinful) ways, but others...
    ...some call it a testimony!

    Romans Chapter 2 verse 29: "But he "is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision "is that of the heart", in spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God".

    Greater is he that is in you, than is in the world!
