Revelation 19:6 (KJV) And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Psalm 139:1 (NASB) God’s Omnipresence and Omniscience. O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

Psalm 139:6-7 (KJV) Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

Here are the three omni words in meaning if nothing else.

Omnipotent, all powerful, nothing is beyond God’s ability.

Omniscience, all knowing, nothing is hidden from God.

Omnipresent, God is present in all His creation, the Alpha and the Omega, from beginning to the end of time, God eternal.

None of those three things indicate God’s will. Pastors and teacher will often refer to these omni words as God’s nature. They are God’s ability which is inherent in God and God alone.

God can do anything. Will He? I consider this; God will not act against His own self-interest. His self-interest is restoration of relationship with His creation. How God uses these onmi abilities to accomplish that end is the purview of God alone.

When unbelievers see God interact with His creation, they judge God without knowing Him, His character, His motivations, or His will. Being the express image of Him who came to save us, those judgments also fall upon us.

God did not give us His omni abilities, but He has conformed us in ways in which we can deal with those who oppose Him. His will in us has not changed, His purpose in us is still restoration of relationship, which is called reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

Psalm 89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Once again I use this verse to bring this last personal attribute of God to light. If you understand the issue of the face then you understand His countenance, His expression, as seen through mercy and truth.

Having accepted the atoning work of Jesus Christ by faith, we receive mercy and we come to know the truth. His Word is true, His promises are true and His Spirit is truth. We know Him, we know truth.

I could give you a full listing of all these things to demonstrate God is true, but I would rather take this time to point out something which became apparent in these devotionals about God’s personality.

The telling of God’s personality traits is the Good News. It is salvation’s story from creation to eternity. I could not hardly relate these things I know about God without noticing the correlation between His identity and His salvation plan.

Everything God is in personality and character focuses on restoration of relationship. We can clearly see that if we look to God’s motives. If we look only to His actions it is easy to misunderstand His motives. When people ask how your God could do any particular thing, one needs only to look at His motivations first to discover why God did the things He did.

Secondly, not all acts in this world are God caused. The second most asked question is; how could God allow evil to happen? Some of the answers to that question are directly related to the fact that sin has consequences. Having a relationship with God does not nullify those consequences.

The other part of that answer might be seen in how God interacts with His creation. Those things are understood partially within His omni-actions. Omnipotent is the only one used in the KJV, Omnipresent and Omniscience are referenced in the NASB in Psalm 139:1.
