Bible Verses About Who God Is – Who Is God Really?
Here are some Bible verses about who God is.
During the last few years, I have understood more and more how important it is that we know who God is. I have understood that there is a difference between knowing things about God and really getting to know him in a personal way.
I have understood that it is impossible to trust God if we don’t really believe that God is who he says he is.
Our relationship with God is not that different from any other relationship. When we meet a new person it is hard for us to really trust them. It doesn’t matter how much they tell us about how skilled and kind they are, if we haven’t seen it in them and know their character, we don’t trust them.
In order for us to start trusting someone, we need to spend time with them and see their character.
Same thing works with God. We can know a lot of things about God without really knowing him and trusting his character.
Remembering Who God Is
There is this video on YouTube by Priscilla Shirer that so well covers a lot about who God is. Every time I feel I need a reminder about who God is, I watch that video. I will leave it linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At6pFpb46SI
If you need a reminder of who your daddy is, I highly recommend that video.
Knowing our Father makes us understand who we are. Sometimes we are so busy trying to find out who we are and we forget to ask our Father who he made us to be.
God was the one that created us, we exist because he has a plan for us. God is not confused, he knows the plans he has for you. He knows why he made you and he knows his purposes for you.
Bible Verses About Who God Is
In the Bible we can read about who God is, we can get to know his character and how he sees us.
So let’s take a look on some of the passages of the Bible that describes who God is.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1
God is the creator of the universe. God is the creator of everything. Like an artist making a painting puts a lot of thought into a painting before making it, God has many plans for this universe and everything in it.
God had specific thoughts and visions before he created everything. He still knows the plans and thoughts he has for us.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
Revelations 22:13
God is the beginning and the end. God has always existed.
God Is Light And Love
“This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.”
1 John 1:5-7
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. God is only good, there is no darkness in him.
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
1 John 4:7-8
God is love. God’s love is unconditional. There is nothing that we have done to deserve his love. God loves us because of who we are.
God Is God And He Is Faithful And Kind
“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.”
Deuteronomy 7:9
God is God and he is faithful. God can never not be faithful, faithful is who he is.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
Psalms 107:1
his love endures forever.”
The Lord is good, God is so good towards us.
“For His merciful kindness is great toward us,
Psalm 117:2
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord!”
God is kind, his merciful kindness is great towards us.
God Is Relational
“God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:9
God has called us into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord. We were created for relationships, for a relationship with our Father and creator and the people around us.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
God knows the plans he has for us. God is not confused about who we are and why we exist, he has never been confused and will never be confused. He will always know who you are and why he made you.
God wants to communicate with you. God always listens and longs to reveal things to you.
God Is Holy And Righteous
“Who will not fear you, Lord,
Revelations 15:4
and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
God is holy. His righteous acts have been revealed. We can see in everything that God does that he is holy and righteous.
“The Lord is righteous in all his ways
Psalm 145:17
and faithful in all he does.”
God Never Changes
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
Hebrews 13:8
Circumstances around us change all the time. Sometimes we are living in easier times and sometimes harder. But there is one thing that never changes and that is who God is.
Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever. Putting our trust in him makes a firm foundation in life.
God Is Powerful And Almighty
“He determines the number of the stars
Psalm 147:4-5
and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.”
God determines the number of stars and calls them each by name. When looking up at the stars, it is easy to remember how big God is. He is so much greater than what we can comprehend.
When we stand beside a huge mountain or in the middle of a big forrest with tall trees, we can understand that the creator of it all is so much greater than us.
“But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.””
Matthew 19:26
With God all things are possible. God is greater than everything else.
“Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
Psalm 147:5
His understanding is infinite.”
The Lord is mighty in power, his understanding is infinite.
Jesus Is Our Savior
“Surely he took up our pain
Isaiah 53:4-5
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.”
Jesus took up our pain and bore our suffering… the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
“And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.”
1 John 4:14
The Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.”
Hebrews 1:3
“The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
John 14:17
His Burden Is Light
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus is gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. His yoke is easy and my burden is light.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13
God Is Our Comfort and Rock To Stand On
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
God comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
We can bring comfort to others because he comforts us.
“The Lord will guide you always;
Isaiah 58:11
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.”
God wants to guide us.
God Is Wise
“to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.”
Romans 16:27
Asking God for wisdom is wise because God is wise.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
James 1:5
God wants to guide us and give us the wisdom that we need to live the lives we are called to live.
God Is Strong In Our Weakness, Our Courage When We Are Afraid
“And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. When we are weak, God is strong.
“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6
The reason to why we don’t need to fear is that God is with us. We don’t have to be afraid for the Lord our God, goes with us. He will not leave us or forsake us.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
John 14:27
Jesus promises us that he will give us peace.
God Is Everything For Everybody
“He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time and in every way. He is your God and that sisters is who you belong to.”
Priscilla Shirer
God is truly meant to be everything for everybody, everywhere, every time and in every way.
He is the beginning and the end. He is the designer of the whole universe. He is the one that created you and that saved us from our sin.
God is our Father, he loves you so much!
We hope these Bible verses are a reminder to you about who he is. God truly is who he is. If any of these Bible verses stand out to you, take some time to pray and let God reveal to you who he is.
