IS GOD A REAL PERSON?

Jesus never referred to God as some abstract force. On the contrary, he talked to God and prayed to him. He often called Jehovah his heavenly Father, a term revealing his deep intimacy with God. John 8:19, 38, 54. It is true that “no man has seen God at any time” and that “God is a spirit” but this does not mean that he is without body or form. He is a person, not simply an indefinable force that resides everywhere. How, then, can God’s influence be felt everywhere? God can send his holy spirit, or power in action, to any place in the universe. Like a Father who extends his hand to console and support his children, God extends his holy spirit to accomplish his purpose. Psalm 104:30; 139:7. Because God is a personality with likes and dislikes- even feelings. The Bible tells us that he loves his people, rejoices in his works, hates idolatry, and feels hurt over wickedness.


DOES GOD HAVE A NAME?
--> --> God himself tells us his name. He is recorded as saying: “I am Jehovah that is my name.” the name Jehovah is the best known English form of Hebrew name God gave himself. I t may surprise you that this        unique Hebrew name appears thousands of times in ancient Bible manuscripts. In fact, it appears more often than any other name mentioned in the Bible. Why did God reveal his name to us? He did it so that we can come to know him better. It is important not only to know but also to use that name. Why? Because the Bible tells us: “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” Romans 10:13
