We briefly looked at these terms - Hermeneutics, Exegesis, Eisegesis
Exodus 34:4-8
Exodus 20:5-6
Romans 5:8
1 John 4:7-21
Psalm 90:1-6
While we read and discussed these passages, we came up with a list of descriptors, or attributes, of God. Our goal was to see what God is really like, apart from our preconceived ides. These passages do not contain all the attributes of God found in Scripture, but there were several as listed below.
Merciful, Forgiving, Gracious, Holy, Slow to Anger, Just, Abounding in Love, Loving, Faithful, Eternal, Sovereign
Learning what God is really like can deepen our understanding and appreciation of what He has done for us, and lead us into a richer, fuller relationship with Him.
