The ONLY God

The first article of the Belgic Confession contains a powerful list of God attributes. 

We all believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths that there is a single and simple spiritual being, whom we call God –

– eternal

– incomprehensible

– invisible

– unchangeable

– infinite

– almighty

– completely wise

– just

– good

– the overflowing source of all good

The list reminds me of a favorite Pauline prayer from Ephesians 1.17 (NIV) – “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.”
