The Attributes of God
(2024 Summer Series)

In this short series, we will be touching on some of God's attributes. J.I. Packer points that "one can know a great deal about God without much knowledge of Him" and they "can know a great deal about godliness without much knowledge of God." We want to encourage our church members and visitors to know the God who He reveals Himself in the pages of the Bible. Here are some encouragements from J.I. Packer's book Knowing God:

1) People who know their God are before anything else people who pray, and the first point where their zeal and energy for God’s glory come to expression is in their prayers.

2) Those who know God have great thoughts of God.

3) Those who know God show great boldness for God.

4) Those who know God have great contentment in God. There is no peace like the peace of those whose minds are possessed with full assurance that they have known God, and God has known them, and that this relationship guarantees God’s favor to them in life, through death and on for ever.
