Attributes of God Study: Lesson 2 - The Aeity (Self-Existence) of God
Good morning, church family -
Our first lesson in the study of the Attributes of God was edifying and challenging. I was so encouraged by the feedback I've received so far. Thank you! If you haven't already, please do let me know how the study is impacting you.
For lesson two, the Self-Existence (or, the Aseity) of God, prepare to have your mind blown! This is such an amazing topic.
Here are some additional scripture references pertaining to God's Aseity:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. ~ John 1:1-4, ESV, emphasis added
Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
but you are the same, and your years have no end. ~ Psalm 102:25-27, ESV“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” ~ Revelation 1:8, ESV
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called there on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God. ~ Genesis 21:33, ESV
I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. ~ 1 Timothy 6:13-16, ESV, emphasis added
