Gods Divine Nature

The nature of the Father
 is not understood by man 
for God is truly perfect— 
sin dies at His command. 
By His law, He gave to Moses, 
we have an image of His character, 
but do not understand, 
the Father’s divine nature.  

The purpose of this world 
was to set the stage 
for God’s many other worlds— 
untainted by sin’s entourage. 
We are an example to all of the entering wedge of sin; 
it’s destruction and misery— 
to the other worlds are foreign.

Because the nature of God 
is filled with love and compassion, 
He sent His Son to save us, 
but strictly through our permission. 
Fear and control of others 
is due to evil alone— 
foreign to our God of love
seated on heaven’s throne.  

The divine nature of God 
is seen in loving kindness. 
May the beauty of His nature 
be exposed from sin’s blindness. 
We can only imagine, 
but not completely understand,
the divine nature of God— 
a nature that does not demand!
