Description

When most people think of God, they think of descriptors such as omnipotent (all- powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (everywhere-present). In the battle between world religions, everyone imagines their God to be the most powerful. In head-to-head combat, we know our God will win. This is part of the reason why God is described in these powerful and impressive terms. The Israelites celebrated the mighty acts of God in their worship and annual festivals. Passing on the memory of God’s mighty acts in history is a major part of what it means to be Jewish, even today. Christians celebrate the fact that our God is powerful, even over death, as demonstrated in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
