What is God Like?

During our study of Hebrews, we find that Jesus is the exact representation of God's nature (character), unlike man who is made in His image. As Jesus himself stated, If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.

So if we want a picture of the nature and character of God; we look to Jesus - the author and perfecter of our faith. No greater word picture can be found than Paul's description of Christ and the attitude we should have than Phillipians Chapter 2.

Humility; service; empty; death. In our culture, not words that we would use to label greatness. But notice the words that come later: exalt and glory.

So what is God like? Well, just look at Jesus. The radiance of His glory shines greatest through the service of His Son.

Likewise; the image of God that you and I were created in; shines brightest in our humility and service to others through the Son.

Grace to all

Hebrews 1:1-3
God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Philippians 2:5-11
Have this attitude in yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
