Basic Training for Spiritual Warfare (ePub)

The Personality of God is the first book in a planned series called the Basic Training for Spiritual Warfare. The Personality of God is based on Paul's writing to the Corinthians (1 Cor 14:12 and 2 Cor 3:18) and his comparison of looking into a mirror we see, unclearly, the face of God and how it becomes clearer and more distinct as we are changed into the image of God. This reflection we see is of the spiritual image of God and not his physical image. This truth begs for the answer to what is God's spiritual nature or what are the personality traits of God that comprise this nature?
The Personality of God strives to answer this question by addressing the nature of God as it is revealed in the Bible. Using both historical and modern Bible commentaries on scripture that documents God's personality the traces the evolution of thought concerning God's individual personality traits is explored. Additionally, where appropriate, the book cites Biblical dictionaries and lexicons to explore the original Hebrew and Greek meanings of the various words to describe God's personality and the challenges facing the translators of the various Bible versions faced in accurately portraying what was written by the authors of the different books of the Bible.
Isaiah wrote that God teaches us and that we learn precept upon precept, line upon line, a little here and a little there (Is 28:10). Thus, the Personality of God is intended to help teach us new precepts that our knowledge of God may increase. The Personality of God is intended to help Christians to a greater knowledge and understanding of what it means to be more like God. For Pastors and Sunday School teacher in can be used as a reference to help strengthen and encourage their congregation and students of becoming a strong witness for Christ.
