Today I wanted to focus on the qualities of God. The only reason to truly have hope is because of God and who He has proven himself to be. Today, we told them the qualities of God (underlined and in bold). After each quality read, they would shout, “We have hope!” When more explanation was needed, it was given.
God is a spirit. John 4:24. God is there even if He cannot be seen. God is not limited by a physical body.

God is personal. God has a name (Exodus 3:14). He has a personality. He knows, He feels, He acts, He has emotions. A person can talk with God just like they talk with their own father (Matthew 6:9). God cares for us just like a father (Matthew 7:9-11).

|||||||||
God is alive. John 5:26. God is not a thing. He is alive. God does things.
|
|||||||||
God is infinite or not limited.
|
|||||||||
God does not change. James 1:17; Psalm 102:27; Malachi 3:6. God’s nature and His purpose will always be the same.
|
|||||||||
God is free from anything wicked or evil.
|
|||||||||
God is truthful. Titus 1:2. A person can always trust that God’s word is true.
|
|||||||||
God is faithful. 1 Thessalonians 5:24. God keeps his promises.
|
|||||||||
God loves. 1 John 4:16.
