Revealed Review: Creator, Holy, Love

In this devotion we are looking at different natures, qualities of God. Although we are separating these qualities to study and explore them, it is crucial to remember that God is complete and undivided. Each aspect of God is always present and always at work. They cannot be separated from each other as he breathes, moves, and speaks.

This week is purposefully set aside to let the last 12 weeks digest, while considering how these three characteristics of God—Creator, Holy, and Love—work, interlock together. To help get you started, consider these questions: How does Creator God reveal his holy and loving nature? In what ways is love the driving force in creation? Why is holiness a crucial part of our redemption and discipleship?

Revealed Week Four: All Things New

It’s easy for us to imagine that the Garden of Eden was all rest and play with no work. Subsequently, our idea of heaven can easily be all cloud-snuggled naps and angel wings. Although there is a promised peace that is coming with Christ’s return and the new heavens and new earth, I don’t believe it will be void of work. We are created in the image of God, and that includes working. He works—he creates, he moves, he watches, he protects, he provides, he works miracles. The psalmist even writes that he does not slumber or sleep (Psalm 121:3-4). He is an active God, and his movement is creative.
