God's Attributes

1Tim 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Notice the attributes Paul mentions of God which relate to the gospel

1. King - Salvation is contingent upon accepting his Kingship - being Lord over us.
2. Eternal - The gospel is about that which is eternal
3. Immortal - The gospel brings us into a state of incorruptibility
4. Invisible - "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb 11:1
5. Wise - "It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God— that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption." 1Cor 1:30 We note also the God's wisdom in assigning Paul to the task.
6. Honor - We honor God for the salvation he has provided.
7. Glory - We note God's attributes revealed through the gospel.
