CHRISTIAN DOCTRINES What We Believe and Why

Unity Defined Definition: “God is not divided into parts, yet we see different attributes of God emphasized at different times.” Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology (Grand Rapids: Zondervan), 177.

Unity Defined AKA “simplicity”  Means “not complex” or “not made up of parts”  Does not mean unintelligent or lacking abilities

Unity Defined Scripture never portrays one attribute as superior  Every attribute is completely true of God himself  Every attribute is completely true of all of God’s character

Unity Defined 1 John 1:5b God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 4:8b for God is love.

Unity Defined  God is not part light and part love, or only sometimes light and sometimes love  God is fully, eternally, and infinitely light and love

Unity Defined God is not part one attribute and part another All are fully true of all of God’s being

Unity Defined Exodus 34:6-7 Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin;

Unity Defined Exodus 34:6-7 yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

Unity Understood God is a unified, completely integrated whole person God is infinite in all his attributes We see different attributes expressed to different degrees at different times We cannot grasp all of God’s infiniteness at one time

Unity Understood We must recognize, understand, and approach God for who he is in his unified totality, not in who we want him to be
