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?
