 Read 1 Timothy 1:17 and 6:15-16. Discuss the characteristics
ascribed to God in these verses:

Blessed – If happiness is the fullness of beauty, majesty, truth,
goodness, purity, righteousness, power, and love then God
possesses it all. (Who would like to spend eternity in the
presence of an unhappy God?)

Only Wise – There is no higher wisdom than what is found in
the Triune God.

Only Sovereign – God does as He pleases because what He
does is perfect. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
No one has a higher authority or power.

Immortal – He does not have a beginning and He does not
have an end.

Inaccessible – HE is too holy that we could come in His
presence on our own merits. Exodus 19:18-25

Dwells in unapproachable light – His glory is such that no
man could see God and live.

 Discuss why no human can approach God in and of himself.

 Read Hebrews 10:19-20. What did God do to make it possible for
us to come in His presence and thus to talk to Him?

 Why then would you say must we regard it as an enormous
privilege to approach God in prayer?
