Other Scripture About God

The Bible states that we are made in the image of God.  However, clearly we are created in a physical body with limitations.  God is eternal, perfect, all-knowing, wise, and powerful; infinite in ability.  He does not change, and functions in absolute truth and love.

Below are some scriptures that help us to get a view of who God is, and what He is like.
