In 2021, the top Google searches were News (Afghanistan), Passings (DMX), People (Alec Baldwin), and TV Shows (Squid Game).
While Google may not be able to explain who God is adequately, have you ever taken the time to search for yourself? Think about it briefly: The only thing you know about God is what your grandma, pastor, and parents told you. What if they were taught incorrectly, they taught you, and you passed the same teachings on to your children, and the cycle continues?
God isn’t trying to hide who He is; the Bible’s first book, chapter, and verse tell us He is the Creator. He invites us to search the scriptures for ourselves, pray, and ask the Holy Spirit to teach us about Him.
While we will never be able to fully understand or explain who God is (if we could, He would cease to be God – Isaiah 55:9), here are 21 scriptures that help us gain a deeper understanding of Him.
