The Identity of God

Day 1 – GOD IS TRUE

God claims in the Bible that He is the one and only God that is true.
Read John 17:3
You have eternal life if you believe that God is what?
God not only says that He is true, He has spent all of history proving that He is true. He has proven that His words have come true in the Bible. There are thousands of things that He has said about history before things happened and guess what… they all came true. God promised a Savior at the beginning of mankind and even though Satan tried to stop it from happening for thousands of years… Jesus showed up on earth and died on the cross for our sins. God shows His truth because His Word lasts. When God says something, it’s true forever.

Day 2 – GOD IS GOOD

Read Psalm 100:5
How is the Lord described?
Read James 1:17
Everything that comes from God is described as what?
Read Romans 8:28
What can God do with all things?
The God who created you is good. Everything He does is good. God is the only one that knows how to bring good things from the hard things in life. You cannot say the same thing about the world. Therefore, you shouldn’t trust them to take care of your identity. Can you think of any bad things that God has ever done?

MEMORIZE IT

Write and memorize Romans 11:33-36. This may seem like a lot to memorize to memorize, but read or write it every day for a week and see if you can say it without looking.

Day 3 – GOD IS FAITHFUL

Read Deuteronomy 7:9
How is the Lord described? The Lord is faithful to keep what?
“Keeping His covenant” is the Bible’s fancy way of saying God is faithful to keep His promises. You can believe in God because He is faithful to do what He says.
Read 2 Timothy 2:13
Is God’s faithfulness dependent on our faithfulness?
Read 1 John 1:9
What is God faithful to do when we confess our sins?
God is faithful whether we are faithful or not. He will do what is right and good even if no one else jumps on board. This is good to know as you walk through life. You might make mistakes along the way, such as following someone else to find your identity. There might be some consequences along the way, but God is always faithful to get you back on track to become you were meant to be.

Day 4 – GOD IS IN CONTROL

Read Proverbs 19:21
What do people have many of in their heart?
Is it God’s plan that wins or man’s?
If God’s plan wins then who is in control?
Read Job 12:10
What is in God’s hand?
Read Isaiah 14:27
Is there anyone who can stop God?
God allows people to choose their own way but He is still in control. You don’t need to worry about the evil in the world if you have God on your side. Nothing is going to stop Him from doing good. Nothing will stop Him from being close to you. Nothing will stop Him from saving you. Your identity is secure with God. What He has planned for you will never change and cannot be taken away by evil. Do you trust that God is control?

Day 5 – GOD IS POWERFUL

Read Luke 1:37. Is there anything that God cannot do?
If you sue the world to form your identity, you face the chance of never feeling good enough. The truth is that God has the power to do anything He sets His mind to. If you trust Him with your identify, you will get to see it in action.
