The Supremacy of God


I will define the supremacy of God as; All the Attributes that make God supreme. We have gone over all the incommunicable attributes of God, and indeed all of His incommunicable attributes apply to his supremacy. The attributes of Independence, Unchangableness, Eternity, Omnipresence, and Unity all are part of His supremacy. If anyone of God’s incommunicable attributes were lacking, He would not be supreme. If, for example, He was dependant upon anything or anybody, He would not be supreme. If He were mutable/changeable, He would not be supreme. If He were not everywhere present and had to rely on others to know what was going on, He would not be supreme. If His attributes were not in perfect harmony, working perfectly together and He was able to go on a tirade or an emotion-driven rampage because of a lack of unity in His attributes, He would not be supreme.
Then there are his communicable attributes. His Omniscience, Omnipotence, and many more. If He were not all-knowing or, Omnisciencent, He would not be supreme. If He was not all-powerful, or Omnipotent, He would not be supreme.
If anyone or anything could be higher than God in any regard, He would not be supreme. No one or nothing can Love like God, show mercy like God, be Jealous Like God, or display wrath like God. No one or nothing can be all of these attributes and remain in perfect balance or have all of these attributes work in perfect balance like God.
God is supreme, and because he is supreme, He alone is worthy of all praise and honor and Glory.
We wrap up our study of God’s incommunicable attributes and move on to His communicable attributes. Communicable attributes are attributes we are privileged in some small way to share with our creator. Because we share these attributes with God, in no way are we as God. Remember this is the original lie of Satan from the Garden. Don’t fall for it.
It is my prayer that God will use this blog in some small way to expand our view of who God is, and He will be merciful to us who read it and the writer as well.
