The Doctrine of God - Definition of God

"God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24)

John gives three descriptions of God. He is Spirit (John 4:24), love (1 John 4:8), and light (1 John 1:5). God is a spiritual being who is invisible and without a body; He is a divine person who reveals Himself in perfect intellect, emotion, and will; He is the source and personification of all material and spiritual life; He is self-existent; He is eternal in relationship to time; He is unlimited in relationship to the immensity of space; He is immutable in His nature; He is the unity of all existence; and He is consistent in His being-that is, He corresponds in actual fact to His nature and attributes as they are revealed to us.
