Exodus 3:13-14 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.

Let me clarify this one issue before we get started, I am not what I do. Neither is God.

All my life I have heard unbelievers chastise me for believing in a God who does evil. It often comes down to an act in which they judge God and by association judge me. This all stems from an improper understanding of who God is in personality and character. God told Moses I AM THAT I AM, and that is who God is, in character and personality, consistent, unwavering; the immutable God.

I have identified five character traits of God that are inherent within His personality that are consistent within everything God does in this Word. We as humans seem to be incapable of holding onto our character consistently and we favor one trait over another depending on the circumstance. Not so with God, He never gives way up one characteristic in favor of another in anything He does. Because of this unbelievers are prone to judge actions because that is all they can see.

Pharaoh would not release his slaves to God until Egypt endured ten plagues. It is not lost on me that God’s actions where the motivation behind Pharaoh’s surrender. Neither is it lost on me that Pharaoh sent his army to destroy the slaves that had been set free. The net result of that decision was the loss of his army also. Who does that remind you of in scripture?

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
