Who is God? The nature and the character of God form the foundation of how we view Him, so it is integral that we, as Christians, understand what God says about Himself. Ava Pennington says that without understanding this, a Christian’s foundation is shaky and runs the risk of moving in the wrong direction. Ava is a Bible teacher, author, and speaker who has spent tremendous time studying the many names and attributes of God. She emphasizes studying who God says He is, not what the world says He is or who we think He should be. In her devotional, Reflections on the Name of God, she asks three key questions: what does God say about Himself, how do God’s attributes change our relationship with Him, and how does it change our relationships with other people?

TAKEAWAYS

We often approach God based on who we THINK He should be, not who He IS

When we use Jesus’s name in prayer, we should do so with the utmost reverence and respect

Why not take God at His own Word? He’s proven Himself faithful and true

Understand the tactics of the enemy, but more importantly, understand God’s perspective and His words
