It is the purpose of this book to discuss the many attributes and actions of God and why much of our thinking about the nature of God and His actions are influenced by our understanding of, or the failure to understand, these mysterious attributes which determine who God is. Therefore, the premise of this book is that the more we understand and accept unequivocally who God is in all of his nature, the better we will understand his actions toward us. It is my hope and prayer that an improved understanding of the incomprehensible nature of God will strengthen the Christian's faith relationship with Him and allow the Christian to worship him more in spirit and in truth, as He has created all of humanity to do. I contend in this book that a greater understanding of the three major attributes of God as descriptors for the nature of God: 1. omniscience; (God knows all things); 2. omnipresence (God is present everywhere); 3. omnipotence (God is all powerful), are absolutely necessary to assist us to better understand the mysteries of God in his relations to the world he has created. This book not only presents the above 3 major attributes of God, but also some of the singular attributes such as love, justice, holiness, mercy, faithfulness, and wrath. These are discussed to help clarify the meaning and purpose of such Biblical doctrines as election, and predestination, and the eternal security of the believer.
