Comforting Scriptures About God

Some people think that God is an abstract or unfeeling entity. But the Holy Scriptures and the Book of Creation provide resounding testimonies as to his true identity: that he is a real person with deep feelings toward his creations. Here are a few Scriptures that tell us about God's personality. 

"Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and truth."

- Exodus 34:6

"His eyes are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him."

- 2 Chronicles 16:9

"You, oh Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive."

- Psalm 86:5

"Jehovah is good to all, and his mercies are all over his works."

- Psalm 145:9

"I, Jehovah, am your God, am grasping your right hand, the One saying to you, 'Do not be afraid. I myself will help you.'"

- Isaiah 41:13

"Blessed be...the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort."

- 2 Corinthians 1:3

"We shall assure our hearts before him as regards whatever our hearts may condemn us in, because God is greater than our hearts and knows all things."

- 1 John 3:19,20

Surely, it's comforting to know that God is a real person who knows us so well and cares so much about us and our feelings. This knowledge gives us confidence that we can make him our Best Friend and that we can turn to him for support at any time. 

The "Book of Creation" Reveals About God

"For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable." 

- Romans 1:20

One of the greatest evidences that there is God is natural creation. We may not see Him, but everything around us, from the heavens above to the depths of the sea, reveals that there is a Creator who designed all these things. Through them, we can "see" Him, along with His cardinal qualities: love, power, wisdom and justice. 

The book of creation highlights many of His qualities as the Universal Sovereign and Loving Father. Reading this book helps us see vividly his appealing personality, which in turn draws us ever closer to Him to the point that He will become our Best Friend who will never fail us.
