These studies seek to address an age old problem: how do you see God?  One thing can be said with absolute certainty about your image of God—it is completely inadequate. This is not meant as a criticism of your view, but rather an acknowledgment that God, in all his fullness, is beyond human understanding. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)

However, Paul reminds us that in Jesus we see the image of the invisible  God. (Colossians 1:15) If we want to begin to understand the creative God of Genesis, the Holy God of Deuteronomy, the vengeful God of the Old Testament,  the God of Grace in the New Testament or the God who is coming to earth again at the end of time, then we need to read our Bible through the perspective of knowing Jesus.
