There is no more profound a question one may consider than what is God? Is God a person, a place, an animal, or a concept? There have been more attempts than one can count of people creating statues and forms to provide them with an object to represent a god or gods to worship and appease. However, there is an irony in men creating something with their minds and hands by which to represent their creator. 

The God of the Bible is not fashioned and formed with human hands, nor is he an esoteric concept beyond human knowledge. God is knowable and has revealed Himself to the part of His creation He has made in His image. The Bible is not silent, nor is it shy in revealing God to humanity. 

In John's first letter (1 John), he begins by confirming the Deity and humanity of Jesus (1 John 1:1-4) as the second person of the Triune God. Then in verse 5 John describes God with the words, "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all." With these words, John reveals astonishing truths about the nature of God. Join us this Sunday as we go deeper into a new series on the letter of 1 John.
