Who Is God?নমুনা

God is compassionate and gracious

Moses wants to see God’s glory. God agrees. He shows his glory by revealing his own Name. That name is not just “what God is called”, but it shows us the most important elements of God’s character. God’s Name reveals his identity.

The Lord calls himself “the compassionate and gracious God”. God’s compassion means that he takes pity on humans who are in trouble – physically or spiritually. Grace means that God is good to people when they do not deserve it.

If God would only be righteous, humanity would have been destroyed long ago. We deserve God’s wrath instead of his love and are deeply in trouble ever since sin entered the world. But God reveals himself to be completely different. His heart is full of love, like a parent who deeply loves his child.

If we are filled with God’s grace and compassion, our hearts become compassionate towards others. Are you transformed by God’s healing grace, and are your spreading compassion?
