What is God Like?


Do yourself a favor, and read this quote from Bryan Chapell out loud to yourself:

(God) is separate from anything that would sully his glory or diminish his perfection. He is majestic, elevated, high and lifted up. He is not entangled by his creatures’ failures. He is not tainted by earth’s stain. He is pure. The radiance from his purity is so brilliant that even the heavenly hosts cover their eyes and themselves in his presence. They want neither to see nor to be seen in the intensity of the blinding and burning illumination of God’s holy glory. Nothing created, either in heaven or on earth, appears as virtuous in the presence of this glorious holiness. Only God is truly good.

That’s what God is like.
