Galatians 1
4 Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.5 All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.


God is holy - so holy that if we were to look directly upon Him, we would just evaporate - iow, He is big-time HOLY - we can't fathom that kind of holiness - we can't even fathom a little bit of holiness - He is so holy that sin cannot coexist with Him


God is eternal - He does not live within the time continuum - He just IS

God is all-powerful - NOTHiNG can overcome Him - there is NOTHING He can't do

God is all-wise - iow, He doesn't do stupid stuff

God is all-knowing - He sees the BIG picture - He sees the beginning, the end, & everything in between.

God knows each of us specifically, to every detail about us

God is the very essence of love - the author of love


This inconceivable Person has made it possible for us sinful people to come into a relationship with Him because of Jesus Christ - Jesus was perfect, so He trades is life as payment for the judgement we all deserve - iow, if liken it to a court proceeding where God is our judge, Jesus can pay with His perfect life the fine for our sinful behavior & lives


Grace is SO scandalous - we get off - we get forgiven for all the stupid, sinful things we are & do - & as a result, God sees us as clean & pure.

Sometimes this whole thing is too gianormous to wrap our brains around
