Who Is God According to John Piper

Who is God? Who is this Creator who spoke to mankind in a book?
And what did He mean when He said to Moses, "I am who I am."- Exodus 3:14.

This question matters because the Christian religion a serious religion that deals with reality and this question is the most important one for anyone to ask; it is imperative that we get it correct.

  1. God is who God is means that He never had a beginning. 
  2. God is who God is means that He has no end.
  3. God is who God is means that He is absolute reality. He is all that was in eternity.   
  4. God is who God is means that He is eternally, absolutely independent.
  5. God is who God is means that all that is not God is dependent (or secondary) to Him. 
  6. God is who God is means that all the universe, by comparison to God, is as nothing.
  7. God is who God is means that He is constant, absolute perfection.
  8. God is who God is means that He is the absolute standard of truth and beauty.
  9. God is who God is means that God does whatever He pleases and it is always right, beautiful, good and in accord with truth. He is utterly free; He is the only free being in all existence. 
  10. God is who God is means that He is the greatest, the most beautiful, the most valuable, and the most important person in all of existence. 
The Bible assumes and teaches this God everywhere.

  Matthew 21:21-22 Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you if you have faith & do not doubt not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain,' go throw yourself into the sea,' & it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Romans 4:18-21 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it has been said to him, "so shall your offspring be." 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced fact that his body was as good as dead-since he was about 100 years old-& that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had the power to do what he had promised. Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, & and the message hears through the word about Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight. Ephesians 6:...
