Studying the Nature of God will Change your Thinking

The Purpose of Studying God's Attributes

Welcome to The Rapid Pull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

Now, as we've said, we want to study the attributes and the nature of God, because it is important for us in understanding the right view of our theology. There is something about studying the attributes of God that we have to understand.

Isaiah 6 and the Transforming Vision of God

And a good example of this is if we look at Isaiah 6. When you look at Isaiah 6, you're going to see that when Isaiah had a proper view of the Lord, he sees the Lord high and lifted up, and the first thing he does is say, Woe is me, for I am undone, because I'm a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the Lord, the King, the Lord of hosts.

And so, as he sits in this and sees this imagery, what we see, that when Isaiah has a proper view of God, it changed his view of himself, it changed his view of sin, and it also changed his view of service, because when God says, Who will go for us?

Who will we send? Who will go for us? Isaiah says, Here I am, send me. Now he wants to go for service. So, if you have a right view of the attributes of God, you're going to see it's going to affect the way you view yourself and others.

He saw himself in light of all of the others among him, his people. He saw a different view of sin, and it changed the way he wanted to serve God. This is one of the things that we can see when we study this, will help us in our understanding of self, sin, and service.
