What is God like?

 What is God like? He is a person who sets two laws in the hearts of those He chooses. The law to look out for the needs and concerns of others, averting their distress, helping them enjoy a fulfilled and righteous life. The law to love Him, your God, with all of your heart and soul and mind and with your voice too, so you use your voice to tell His commands to others. This is the God who calls Jesus Christ His true, beloved Son and gives the Holy Spirit in Jesus' name. This is the God who says "I am God" and judges the nations righteously and fairly and who has appointed His Son to do the same. This is the God whose spirit has been working these things out for millennia and has told of the glory of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in whose name Nature functions day after day. This is the God whose temple is being built from the lives and bodies of those who have this persuasion which God Himself inspires. This is the God who sent His Son to be crucified to bring us to Him and who raised His Son from the dead and seated His Son at His right hand in glory. This is the God whose Son will come again to raise the dead who believe and give to all the worthy believers the gift of immortality. This is the God who has given His Son to be fully human so that he can fairly judge all those who share that humanity, on the last day, before the endless eternity begins when God and His Son will live forever together with those He has created as new living immortal righteous beings, children of God. This is the God who gave the inspiration to our predecessors to write out the holy scriptures which teach us that these things are true.
