Clearly Explained Video Series
Shaped by the confessions and catechisms of the Reformed tradition, these videos explain important theological topics in a short, professional, and attractive format. We hope they help you understand what the Bible teaches, defend what the Bible teaches, and enjoy the God whom the Bible reveals.
The Attributes of God
Divine Simplicity
God does not just have some attributes. God is whatever he has. Every attribute of God is identical with his essence.
Divine Infinity
There is nowhere where God is “not” and he cannot be contained by anything; not by any imperfection, not by time, and not by space.
Divine Aseity
Divine aseity means God exists in and of himself. He is before all things, and on him all things depend. He exists absolutely independent of anything or anyone.
Divine Immutability
God is whatever he has (that’s simplicity), and all that he is and all that he has can never change (that’s immutability).
Divine Impassibility
As the Westminster Confession states, “God is without body, parts, or passions.” Why should Christians still affirm divine impassibility?
Attributes of Intellect
God only and always speaks and does what is the truth. God knows all things, is wise in all things, and is true in all things.
Attributes of Will
It’s important to understand that these attributes are not in conflict with one another—but all of them are essential to the divine nature.
Attributes of Power
When we think about the power of God, the sovereignty of God, we should not conclude, therefore, that God is too great to care, but rather that he is too great to fail.
