Just Who IS God?

In Sunday school, we were taught "Jesus Loves Me" and other wonderful, childhood favorites. While Jesus IS love, He is so much more, also.

We would encourage you to take the time to go through the list of names and titles, found here, and look up each one in your own Bible to see the full context behind each verse. These verses define not only who God is, but show us more of a fullness of His character.

Below is a devotional our family used for a month, several years ago. We each memorized the names of God, what they mean, and in many cases the Scripture text where they can be found. It was a HUGE blessing, and I recommend it for all.
(It might even be time for us to do this devotional again!)
