THE NATURE OF GOD
Lesson Three
 
After reading through the following verses, WRITE a summary of your conclusions 
about the nature of God according to your understanding of who God is as 
revealed in His written word.  

Hebrews Chapter 1:1-3; 8-10 
1: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the 
fathers by the prophets,2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, 
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3: 
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and 
upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our 
sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 8: But unto the Son he 
saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is 
the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9: Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated 
iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of 
gladness above thy fellows. 10: And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the 
foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

John 1: 1-3 & 14
1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was 
God. 2: The same was in the beginning with God. 3: All things were made by him; 
and without him was not any thing made that was made. 14: And the Word was made 
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only 
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

1John 1:1-3
1: That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen 
with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the 
Word of life; 2: (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear 
witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was 
manifested unto us;) 3: That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, 
that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the 
Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Mathew 3:16-17
16: And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, 
lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending 
like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This 
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Col.1:12-17
12: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of 
the inheritance of the saints in light: 13: Who hath delivered us from the power 
of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14: In 
whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15: Who 
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16: For by 
him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible 
and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or 
powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17: And he is before all 
things, and by him all things consist.

1John 5:5-13
5: Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the 
Son of God? 6: This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not 
by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth 
witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7: For there are three that bear record in 
heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8: 
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and 
the blood: and these three agree in one. 9: If we receive the witness of men, 
the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath 
testified of his Son. 10: He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness 
in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth 
not the record that God gave of his Son. 11: And this is the record, that God 
hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12: He that hath the 
Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13: These 
things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that 
ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of 
the Son of God.
