What is your concept of God?

My concept of God is as a creator, a self-sustaining supreme being, and as a watchful Father. The Holy Bible indicates that God has always existed in a spirit realm, namely Heaven, and had no beginning, and will see no end (Job 36:26), (Isaiah 57:15). My concept of God stems from analyzing the scriptures in relation to God’s dealings with mankind. God has always been stern with man, giving him laws and commandments to live by and strictly enforcing them. Furthermore, God has always allowed man a method of redemption should he err. In the Old Testament it was through animal sacrifices, and other ordinances, and in the New Testament it was through repentance, through his son, Jesus Christ. According to the Holy Bible, God throughout time has mobilized nations, peoples, and individuals to carry out his will in various capacities, the ultimate example of this mobilization being his son, Jesus Christ, also known as the “Living Word of God” (John 1:1). These factors contribute to my view of God as presented in the Bible, which for all intents and purposes is the first document to describe a supreme being, namely God, as a giver of commandments rather than a just a spirit being that creates and destroys.
