Character of God • Character of God Series (Episode 1)

Biblical authors often referenced and quoted their favorite parts of Scripture, and the list of God's character traits found in Exodus 34:6-7 is the most repeated and re-quoted text in the Bible. In this video, we'll explore this foundational description of God's attributes that illustrates what God values and why he acts the way he does.

“How does a faithful and loyal God deal with such a rebellious people”

It's beautiful how the scripture is explained for an easy understanding as some might find the Bible difficult to understand

Did you know that Exodus 34:6-7 is one of the most quoted passages in the entire Bible? The biblical authors reference this list of God’s character traits throughout much of Scripture. But why? In these verses, we learn that all of God’s actions are an expression of these attributes: compassion, grace, patience, loyal love, and faithfulness. But how do these traits relate to God’s passion for justice?

Sometimes God brings severe consequences in response to human evil. How does God’s mercy and love balance with his anger at destructive human behavior? These are crucial questions that the biblical authors love to explore in narrative, poetry, and in the literary design of this Exodus passage.

The passage tells us that God’s core character traits are rooted in generous mercy and loyal love, which means that God’s anger is not a primary attribute. It’s a divine reaction to selfish and destructive human decisions, and it’s rooted in God’s love. Just like you would get angry if you saw a beautiful work of art being vandalized, so God’s anger is a response to evil done to or by his human images. God would not be good if he didn’t get angry at evil.

So God’s anger and judgment is a really important theme in the Bible, but it’s not the whole story. God’s core character is one of generous love that created the world as we know it and plans to rescue and restore that world from human evil. Exodus 34:6-7 invites us into a lifetime of pondering the depths and mysteries of the character of God.

If a father commits a crime and goes to prison, his son grows up without a father, which hurts the son. People can say "punishing children for the sins of their fathers is wrong" all they like, but it's literally how the universe works. Your actions have lasting consequences. Realising this has been a big step in understanding the character of God, especially in old testament context.

You know as a fellow believer and someone who's passionate about arts & animation, I really find this impressive and impactful. Praise God for using such technology, illustration together with your talents to make the gospel more comprehensive through visual representations. Aside from the message and the content of your videos, this inspires me to use everything I've got to share the true gospel to a wider audience. <3

Isaiah 53:5 - But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Love fulfills the law.

I wished this wasn't short 💕. I always look forward to the video 💗. Everytime we talk about HIS compassion, let us always remember HE's also just. Remember, "it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of GOD". That's why when people also wrong you, you should forgive and leave them in the hands of GOD who executes justice. I thank GOD for His love that is never ending and for the blood of JESUS that we have for the atonement of sins.

Love how you frequently incorporate Hebrew to teach. It gives us the benefit of so much nuance and richness that is otherwise lost in translation!
