FIVE-FOLD DESCRIPTION OF GOD

Scripture:   1 Timothy 1:17 “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever, Amen.”  

    Here Paul is writing to Timothy and in the text, gives five descriptive terms that explain a little more to us about just who God is.  
    He is first mentioned here as being the King.  He’s the one in charge.  He is the blessed and only Potentate.  In His sermon, S. M. Lockridge said, “My king is a seven-way king.  He’s the king of the Jews.  He’s the king of Israel.  He’s the king of righteousness.  He’s the king of the ages.  He’s the king of Heaven.  He’s the king of glory.  He’s the King of kings and He’s the Lord of Lords.  That’s my king.  Well….I wonder do you know Him?”  
    Secondly Paul describes Him as eternal.  He always has been and He always will be.  There has never been a time in eternity past when God was not. And there will never be a time in the future when God will not be.  He is the eternal, everlasting God!  
    Then He is described as being immortal.  The word “immortal” means exempt from death.  So God is not dead, nor ever will be dead, because He is not, nor ever will be subject to death.  He will live forever.
   Then He is said to be invisible.  Which simply put, is not visible to the naked eye.  No man hath seen God at any time, but we can see His handiwork.  The heavens declare the glory of God.  Though we cannot see Him, He is still as real as He ever has been.  
    Then He is described as the only wise God.  His wisdom is far beyond any capability that we may have of understanding it.  He knows all things.  He knows what we need before we ask Him.  There is nothing that He does not know.
