From The Baptist Faith and Message:

There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. God is infinite in holiness and all other perfections. God is all-powerful and all-knowing; and His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future, including the future decisions of His free creatures. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

1. We serve and worship the eternally immutable self‑existent God (Exodus 3:11‑17).

• Unlike a genie, God does not serve us, we serve God (11‑12).
• Unlike anything we know, God is pure actuality (13‑14).
• Unlike anything we have experienced, God is immutable (15‑17).

Action: Identify your biggest struggle:
• Do you struggle to accept that you serve God instead of God serving you?
• Do you struggle to accept that God truly exists?
• Do you struggle to accept that the God of miracles is your God?

2. God, the most formidable word ever spoken (Psalm 8).

• God's majesty is beyond comprehension (1‑2).
• God's creation is just the tip of the iceberg (3‑4).
• Man's significance is only through God (5‑8).

Action: Take a moment and visualize God's majesty as best you can.

3. Genuine belief in the Great I Am will change you.

• There are four responses to God's Existence.
• There are at least nine actions we should take in light of God's existence (daily tuning).
• Gaze, Search, Worship, Surrender, Examine, Confess, Cry-out, Celebrate, Repeat
• Belief in God leads to humility.

Action: Pick one of the actions above and set aside time this week to practice that action.
