CHAPTER 8
WHAT GOD IS LIKE

The journey begins where God’s Book begins—with one of the greatest declarations of all time:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

No attempt is made to prove God’s existence. It is self-evident.
If you are walking along a deserted beach and come upon a set of fresh footprints in the sand, you instinctively conclude that you are not alone. You know those evenly spaced tracks didn’t create themselves. You know the wind and water did not form them. Someone caused those footprints.
You know that.
Yet many people contend that they do not know that the sand in which the footprints were formed, and the human being who caused the footprints, were also caused by Someone. In an attempt to explain creation apart from a Creator, man has come up with many elaborate theories, some imagining a string of causes stretching back billions of years. But once they arrive at what they call “the beginning,” they are no closer to answering the original question: What caused it?
The Scripture says: “What may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” (Romans 1:19-20 NIV)
The rationale is elementary: design necessitates a designer.
Just as this is true with man-made things like footprints, cars, and computers, so it is true with mechanisms like feet, cells, and constellations. Whether observed with the naked eye, or through a microscope or telescope, the irreducible complexity and intricate order of the universe necessitates a Creator and a Sustainer.
Just as a footprint requires a footprint-maker, so a universe requires a Universe-Maker.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” (Psalm 19:1 NIV)

So who is this Universe-Maker? How can we know what He is like?  We can know because He has made Himself known.

ETERNAL

Earlier we heard from an e-mail correspondent who asked sarcastically, “Who created God? I’ve forgotten.” The answer is: no one. God is eternal. “In the beginning GOD...” teaches us that our Creator is like no one and nothing else.

“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” (Psalm 90:2 NKJV)

Past, present, and future are as nothing to God. He is the “Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” (Revelation 4:8 NKJV)
He is timeless and incomprehensible.
No created being will ever know everything about God.  He is “the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity.” (Isaiah 57:15 NKJV)
He never changes. “You are the same, and Your years will have no end.” (Psalm 102:27 NKJV)

GREATER

God is greater than anything we can imagine.

Just as the eternal One makes no attempt to prove His existence, because it is self-evident, so He makes no attempt to explain His existence, because our finite minds are incapable of grasping that which exists apart from time, space, and matter.
As a little boy, I remember looking up into the sky and thinking that if I could travel high enough and far enough, I would eventually come to a ceiling and the end of the universe. What I failed to consider was the endless space on the opposite side of my imaginary ceiling!
Some things can only be understood by believing what the Creator has revealed.
Faith in the consistent and proven Word of God is the key to the highest level of wisdom and knowledge.

“Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. ... By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” (Hebrews 11:6,3 NIV)

Modern science affirms that “what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” Physicists tell us that matter is made of invisible atoms, which are made of electrons, which whirl around a nucleus made of protons and neutrons, which are made of quarks, which are made of...? Mankind has discovered so much, yet we know so little! Those who are wise recognize the limitations of human intellect.
What science will never be able to prove or disprove is “that the universe was formed at God’s command.” We can only know this through our God-given sixth-sense: faith.
It is “by faith we understand” life’s greatest themes and questions. The reason for this is obvious:

“God is greater than man.” (Job 33:12 NKJV)

So what else has this great One revealed about Himself?
