The Divine Attributes

Love is heaven's divinest attribute. Associated with infinite wisdom and power, it forms a trinity of divine attributes which furnish assurance for confidence and trust to the child of God. We may never by searching find out God nor circumscribe his wisdom. We may never comprehend the scope and magnitude of his power. We look upon these as the natural attributes of Deity. We are not surprised that he possesses them. But somehow we have come to regard greatness and the possession of unlimited power as apart from the exercise of the gentler attribute of love. Before the revelation of divine love we stand in amazement and wonder. Particularly is this so when we understand that love is the lever, the inspiration, which calls into exercise the infinity of power and wisdom. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.” “God is love,” and every use of his unlimited resources is prompted by this spirit.
