God the Immortal

Good Shepherd Community Church

A most unique attribute of the living God, Yahweh, is his immortality. Christians many times use this term incorrectly. The Bible says God alone is immortal.--1 Timothy 1-17-To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.--1 Timothy 6-13-16-13 I command you, in the sight of God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you observe the commandment without fault, irreproachable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which he will make known in his own time, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, 16 the one who alone possesses immortality, who lives in unapproachable light, whom no human being has seen nor is able to see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.--An early Christian hymn expresses ,-Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One-- God is the blessed and only Sovereign,- the King of kings,- and the Lord of lords,- 16 the only One who has immortality,- dwelling in unapproachable light-- no one has seen or can see Him.
