The human experience has included God since the beginning in the garden of Eden. His love and compassion for His creation and humanity have been revealed continually until this very day. All we need do is walk around in nature, hold a baby in our arms, experience life on or beneath the sea, or float above the mountains in a powered wing machine, and it's easy to contemplate and experience God. Sadly, however most people still know very little about Him. If a person has repented, placed their faith in and trusted Christ as Savior and Lord of their life, they have already experienced God in a miraculous way. They see God's hand everywhere, they hear God's voice deep within, they are led by God's Spirit on a daily basis. But for those who are atheists or agnostics or openly reject God's love and God's provision for salvation, it's a very different story. They both fail to see or understand anything about God, for they are spiritually blind and deaf, as Jesus clearly explained. In other words, we can choose to believe and experience God, or we can choose to reject and not experience God. This has been termed "free-will," and every human being has it. As such, every human being is given the opportunity whether to believe or not to believe. So, what is God really like? This question is as old as Garden of Eden, and perhaps even time itself. For any human to attempt to explain the character of God, would be akin to a wild and terrified beast of the field trying to explain the character of a benign human. How can a creature, having been created, explain the character of Him Who is its (their) Creator? We live in this broken and sin-filled world, which means that we see life and all that it includes through a distorted and damaged lens. The only way we can see clearly for the time being, is to view life through the lens of the Holy Spirit of God. For those who have turned to Jesus Christ in faith and experienced the "new birth" described by Jesus in John chapter three; the Scriptures say their eyes have been opened, and they can see: God is no longer a mystery to them. God has revealed Himself to them. With the help of the Spirit who lives within them, they can learn about God's dealings with His creation, God's plan for their lives and their future, and God's love for all of His creation. In doing so, they can begin to understand God, and His qualities and true character. He is Holy, Loving, Just, Merciful, Sovereign, Immutable, Omniscient, and Great.
