THE FAITH OF CHRIST FROM THE WRITTEN WORD.


CHAPTER I.

OF GOD.

Q. I.What is God?

A. God is a Spirit infinitely perfect, the Creator and Sovereign Lord of all things.

Q. 2. What do you mean by a Spirit?

A. An immaterial being, quite distinct from body. Now God is a most pure, uncreated Spirit, without any body; and those expressions of Scripture where mention is made of the hands of God, or His feet, or the like, are only figurative ways of speaking, accommodated to our weak understandings.

Q. 3. What do you mean by infinitely perfect?

A. I mean that all possible perfections essentially belong to God, and are in Him in an infinite degree, without bounds or limitation.
