The Attributes of God
An attribute is a quality
that distinguishes something from other things.
For instance, a chicken has attributes that make it different from a
duck. We use the word chicken to call up
attributes in our mind, so we can communicate with each other.
To ignore attributes is to make communication
impossible. We do not speak of God as
though He is one who cannot be distinguished from others. In fact, this was precisely the sin described
of the heathen in Romans 1:23: “And
changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to
corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.” The sin of idolatry is conceiving of God as
having the attributes of a creature.
These articles may very well deliver you from
idolatry.
