The God Who is and the God Who does

Today in one of our classes we talked about making the mistake of separating who God is from what He does. Basically, if you want to know Him, know Him through his actions, and the Bible is basically the long-form testimony of what He does. God is and God does. I think its difficult sometimes to understand who God is in our culture today because we base so much of understanding of God on our own here-and-now experiences rather than allowing the Word to reveal His character.

As God reveals Himself - so He truly is. Herman Bavinck
