The Attributes of God Infographic & Reader Feedback Question
Tim Challies has begun a new series called Visual Theology that uses infographics to explain the truths of scripture. I would highly recommend that you first follow Challies if you are not already (always encouraging and challenging) and then that you check out the first few infographics he has already released.
I really like this one that focuses on the Attributes of God. Not only does it show various attributes (different aspects of his character), but it also classifies them into communicable (those attributes that he shares with other beings) and incommunicable (those that are specific to him alone) attributes. You can click on this image to go to a larger one.
This week’s reader feedback question is this:
What is your favorite attribute of God and how does it effect your life as a woman, wife, and/or mother?
I will share my answer and select five of yours to publish on Thursday! I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I have been listening to the cd Attributes of God by Shai Linne (based on AW Pink’s book) ever since we got it two months ago. I think the song on there that hits me the most is the one on God’s amazing patience. “He loves us patiently” the chorus goes. The fact that my God is slow to anger makes Him so different from man–from ME. It challenges me to consider that if I want to demonstrate His patience to others (especially my kiddos!) then I must look to Him and see just how amazingly patient He has been with me. And I am overwhelmed. I’ve also been meditating on the fruit of the Spirit lately, and how that fruit is in line with the character of God. If we want to bear the fruit of the Spirit, we must be depending upon Him and looking to Him to produce His likeness in us. The fact that He does this work in sinners is truly amazing, demonstrating His power, His kindness, His love, His wisdom…It’s hard to meditate on one attribute without it relating to His other perfections!
Jessalyn, Thanks for letting us know about Tim Challies Infographics. I’ve been teaching on the Attributes of God at our monthly women’s meetings for the past year and my favorite is the Love of God. Just happens that I’m reposting an article from that study tomorrow for Valentines Day on my blog.
For me, the attribute of God that has turned my life upside down is His Sovereignty. That He is above all, reigning over all is just incredible. It brings me to my knees, comforts me, and gives me hope when I don’t find a reason for it. God is Sovereign over all… just think about that! That makes me shiver!
I agree with Becky. My favorite attribute of God is His Sovereignty (I think that would be wisdom on the chart). As mothers we tend to be worriers (at least most moms I know are) and knowing and trusting that God is Sovereign over ALL even things I cannot understand is so comforting. It is the ultimate hope for me. This world can have such sad moments that knock the breath out of you and I cannot imagine going through them without knowing God is ordaining it all for His glory and the good of His people.
