The God who reveals Himself in the Bible is absolute and unchanging, a Law-giver, and triune. Did God create man because He was lonely? No. God is ever self-contained, self-sufficient and self-satisfied, in need of nothing; even our devotion, service and praise add nothing to Him. He is the sovereign God who declares the end from the beginning and says, ‘My purpose will be established.’
The second part takes up the problem of the unbeliever: does God exist? The lesson answers that the knowledge of God is inescapable. Since God is man’s Creator, every part of man’s being, together with all creation, testifies about Him. The heavens declare His glory, and the psalmist confesses that the Lord has searched and known him, that there is nowhere to flee from His presence, and that he was fearfully and wonderfully made. Jesus warned that those who do not believe He is who He claims to be will die in their sins.
