"God is"
This is the genesis of the believers faith.
God is the initiator of making himself known-God revealed himself to me-I cannot reveal myself to Him.
No human endeavor-no belief-no philosophy-no theology-no political party can claim God-"God is. "
Theology is thinking God's thoughts AFTER Him not the other way.
God is separate from all works of man-God is not in the Tower of Babel, the Golden Calf or any shrine or temple-"God Is."
God cannot be scientifically studied, analyzed, rationalized, categorized or put in any box.
He is a covenant God and we, a covenant people-God with us-"Emmanuel"
God reveals His covenant with us in the creation-in covenant with Israel-in the incarnation-in the cross and subsequent resurrection-and He will reveal Himself at the consummation.
God is the incarnate God-God took on human form and walked among us-in Christ Jesus-"God is."
And we who are found "in Christ Jesus" are in right standing with God-we answered YES to His covenant
"God is"-this is where I walk in faith and along the way God reveals Himself to me.
"God Is."
