#1: God’s Glory Biblically speaking, the glory of God is the magnificence of all His attributes put together. God is glorious because He is perfect in all ways and needs no improvement, revision, or change of any kind. #2: God’s Humility Bible commentators have long noticed that Jesus has a stunning lack of modesty paired with incredible humility. Jesus was immodest: He received worship, He called Himself the “I Am,” which is the name for God in the Old Testament. Jesus made enormous claims about Himself. But – Jesus was incredibly humble. He made Himself last. He dedicated His life to serving. #3: God’s Boldness God is not only humble, but also very bold. Many people opposed Jesus: the powerful, the religious leaders, his own family, his friends. They opposed Jesus because He never made obedience to God secondary. For Jesus, obeying God was always primary, and people opposed Him because of that. We can experience the boldness of God in Scripture. When we see ourselves in light of who Jesus is, we see who we really are – and it’s not a flattering image. #4: God’s Love The love of God is not a sentimental feeling of acceptance or warmth. It’s stronger, deeper, and more transforming. We experience the love of God through His glory which awes us, His humility that melts us, and His boldness that humbles us. Our glorious God is humble enough to serve us and bold enough to speak truth to us, and that’s because He loves us! Sample Questions for GCs: Consider the following list of some of God’s attributes.
