We see Him to be not only love itself, the God of all grace and the Father of mercies, but also:

Supreme, infinitely exalted above all creatures;

Sovereign, doing as He pleases, asking no one’s permission and giving no account of His actions;

Immutable, with Whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning;

Ineffably Holy, being of purer eyes than to behold evil and canst not look on iniquity;

Inflexibly Just, so that He will by no means clear the guilty;

Omniscient, so that no secret can be concealed from Him;

Omnipotent, so that no creature can successfully resist Him;

The Judge Of All, who will banish from His presence into everlasting woe and torment every impenitent rebel.

This is the character of the true God: do you love HIM, my reader?
