Our God is “The Holy One”, “Qadosh.” He is worthy to be worshipped and praised. All honor should go to Him. He is the prefect, righteous creator of this earth, of everything in it, of the universe and everything in it. Our devotion should be completely to Him. And He sent His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, the Holy One, God the Son, who is perfect and sinless, to pay the price for our sins and die in our place, so that if we accept that gift and surrender to Him we may live and have eternal life with Him. What an awesome God we serve!

El Elyon, God Most High
Our God is described in many ways. He is the God most High. There are no other Gods besides Him. He is above all things and greater than anything we can imagine. He is Supreme and Ruler over all. I have found 2 different Hebrew words that mean God Most High. El Elyon, or Elyown shows the supremacy of God while El Illay shows the more personal, intimate side of the Most High God that connects God to His people, who is to be worshipped. He is big and powerful, yet He loves us and wants a relationship with us.

What do we know about our God? He is eternal. He is the Everlasting God. Hebrew scripture calls Him El Olam, or a form of this. He is the Creator of the universe and everything in it He has existed since the beginning of time and will always exist. He is “the One who is, and who was, and who is to come.” He was not created by man, but created man and woman. He is the all-powerful, all knowing, self-existent God. He is indescribable and beyond our imagination No one is like our God.

God Almighty. The mighty name of God. He is the Sovereign Lord. The ruler of the universe. There is no other god but Him. He is El Shaddai. In Greek the word is Theos Pantokrator, a word used for God the Father and Jesus Christ. He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The name that is above all names.

When God was asked His name, He said, “Yahweh.” What does that mean? Most Bibles translate as “I am What I Am.” It is said that a more literal translation is “I Will Be Who I Will Be.” Kind of cryptic, huh? By what I have read, this is saying that He is the self-existent one. He is the eternal God and not a created being, which separate Him from all other gods. He always was and always will be. It sounds very similar to how the angels describe God in Revelation 4:8: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”
