Character of God

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary; His understanding is beyond searching out.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.

For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
