I've been thinking about the attributes of God: love, righteousness, holiness, just, true, etc.
To listen to many people today, one would think God had only one attribute: love.
I suppose they would say that love is God's most important or primary attribute.
To get some other prespectives on this, I submit the following three questions:
1. Does God have a primary or most important attribute?
2. If the answer to 1 is yes, what is it?
3. What is the impact of the emphasis on love?
My answers:
1. No. All of His attributes are balanced in His personality.
2. If I had to pick one attribute as most important, I would go with holy.
3. We are developing an incomplete concept of God and how He works in our lives.
