Series: All You Need Is Attributes

Jump to Comments

For many believers, the question of why they struggle with sin is a hard one. But I say it is easy to explain: all you need are attributes. By contemplating the attributes of God you can arrive at holiness. By failing to have a proper doctrine of them, one falls into the wheel and woe of sinfulness.

An example of such can be found from Genesis 3:8 (English Standard Version):

And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

Here, Adam and Eve fail to understand God’s attribute of omniscience. Likes babes they believed that God was embodied and limited in sense. Their hiding among the trees only reveals their staggering ignorance that God knew where they were at all times. They also failed to understand that God was omnipresent and is so even in the tormented faces of hell.

If only they had meditated on these truths they would have avoided the Fall.
