What differentiates God from false gods, and what distinguishes him superiorly from His creatures, in a more specific perspective, are the three exalted virtues of His dominion: Fidelity, Justice and Truth, by which He is Holy and sanctifies himself. Holiness is the supreme attribute of God. That which designates and dignifies the Almighty, being He the One and True God, is not primarily His attributes of power, such as Omnipotence, Omniscience and Omnipresence, although these attributes also belong to Him alone and are exclusive to His Person. What magnifies Him are His incomparable moral qualities. The Lord is the Supreme Father of Eternity and the Universes, the Creator of Light, the Owner of All Power and the Only Savior, who saves us in His Son, but what differentiates Him as the True God, the true Father of Life and Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, is His Faithfulness, Justice and Truth. He cannot lie, nor commit iniquity, nor injustice, nor can he be deceived, nor defeated, nor overcomed.
"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me." (Isaiah 46:9)
The Faithfulness of God is that which glorifies Him over the false gods made with hands, Justice is the strength of the Power of God, and Truth is His Supreme Dominion, the existence of His own person and the reason for everything that exists. These three attributes, considered in His divinity, wisdom and power, are the Three Stones of His Scepter of Dominion, by which He rules from the heavens and over all the existential realms of Creation, and makes Him unique, exclusive and incomparable, worthy of being believed, recognized and worshiped as the Only True God, the Holy and Faithful Magnificent, although these three attributes must also exist in all those who are His children and belong to Him. These three attributes can be perfectly translated as being within Equity, which is equality according to justice.
"Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter." (Psalm 45:6)
You must know that God is Almighty, Omniscient and Eternal, who has all power over everything and does whatever he wants, according to the wise and perfect counsel of His will, but you must believe in Him, through Faith in His Word, recognize and worship him, first, not because of his power and transcendence, although this is also important, but because of his faithfulness, justice and truth, which are towards all who fear him, and because he is Loving, Benign and Merciful, because He is Good and Righteous, Unique and True, to whom belongs the Power and Salvation, He who sent us His Son, Jesus, as the Greatest Ambassador and Reconqueror of His Celestial Kingdom among men to manifest His glory, to die for our sins and save us from the implications of His Righteous and True Justice, which cannot be violated, and which must be established and prevail forever and ever over His dominions.
"The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether." (Psalm 19:9)
He rules eternally by His power, but the basis of the power of His dominion is Justice and Judgment, so that His kingdom, His government, and His dominion subsist and are filled with peace by the prevalence of Justice, and by the execution of His righteous judgments. If the Lord ruled only by power, and was not just, then tyranny, chaos and destruction would reign in the universes and in Creation, but He established His Throne over Justice and Judgment, and Equity in His Scepter of Dominion, establishing just and true Laws, by which harmony, peace and happiness reign over eternity and all subject worlds under His Hands. God is the Owner of all Power, Strength and Wisdom, but He is worthy to be recognized, praised and worshiped, first of all, "for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever." (Psalm 118:29)
"Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face." (Psalm 89:14)
When this world was created, the scepter of the Kingdom of God was upon it, and Adam was appointed prince and administrator of the earth and of all mankind. Righteousness and judgment were in the beginning instituted upon this world, established that harmony, happiness, and peace might reign here forever. God wanted Adam to recognize Him for His Faithfulness, Justice and Truth, for His totally free Goodness and Love that He had for him. Suffering, destruction and death entered this world in the beginning because of the sin of the first man, and the Kingdom of God withdrew, in an immediate plan, from the earth. The kingdom of God's Enemy, the Fallen Cherub, who legally entered the world because of sin, is not a kingdom of righteousness, nor of judgment, nor of truth. The Enemy has awesome power, but he is treacherous, murderous, and despot, and he has no fidelity, nor justice and nor truth. First of all, dominion over the Earth had been given to man.
"And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:28)
In His Word, and in all the works of Creation, God clearly demonstrates His Sovereign Power, but what distinguishes Him as God, the One and True, is His Incomparable Character and the holy virtues of His Heart. He is loving, merciful and pious, Faithful, Just and True, and it is this that elevates and magnifies him in the face of all false beliefs, false theories of men and false gods, dead images of gold, stone and wood, created by the hands of men, who cannot speak, see, or hear, nor walk, nor save those who bow down to them. The difference between the Lord and the lies of men is that He is the Living God, the God who Sees, Faithful and Almighty, who hears the prayer of the righteous, the poor, the afflicted and all those who take refuge in Him, through Faith, powerful to free and save those who call on His Name and trust in Him, according to His very great and faithful promises. There is none like the Most High, neither in the heavens nor under all the heavens, neither who surpasses the splendor of His Glory and Light, nor who deceives His Omniscient Wisdom, nor who can rise before the Fear of His Majesty, nor exalt before His Face, nor anyone who can rebel and escape His Dominion and His Omnipotent Hands.
"And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keep covenant, and show mercy to your servants, that walk before you with all their hearts."
(2 Chronicles 6:14)
The entire plan of God, from the Old Testament, from the prophecy of the salvation of the world, still in the Garden of Eden, through the institution of human government after Noah, the call and the covenant of Abraham, the liberation and institution of the People of Israel, the kingdoms of Israel, the trials, the deliverance interventions, the judgments and disciplines on the Chosen People, the Ministry of the Prophets, the captivity and the return to the Holy Land, in all the great works, acts of justice and operations of judgments that He executed on His People and throughout the world through the centuries, He was doing everything to manifest His Faithfulness, His Justice and His Truth, by His Eternal Power, in view of the coming of His Son, by which Israel and all the families of the earth would be saved.
"I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory." (Isaiah 46:13)
The Lord is the One True God. The Lord is called by the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who sent us to Jesus Christ His Son in the fullness of time, that through the Son we might be redeemed and saved through repentance and of Faith in the Gospel, and by Faith in Christ, who has conquered all things, let us rise from spiritual death and have life. The Almighty is the Owner of all Power, Infinite, Unreachable, Unlimited, Inexplicable, Invincible and Inexhaustible, but even so He wants to be glorified and recognized, first of all, for His Character, for what He is, for the Sublime and Wonderful Person that He is, not what He has. If the Lord wanted to be recognized by His Power alone, He would only need one thought to explode a hundred thousand visible stars in a single moment and instill eternal fear in all the inhabitants of the world once and for all, but this would annihilate the Faith and the free recognition of His worthiness to be accepted and worshiped as a Faithful and Just God. For this reason He intervenes with His people, with Israel and with the Church, and sends His ministers, prophets and messengers, and contends in judgment with the hearts of His people, as if pleading and urging His Word that open your eyes and repent, warning and demonstrating His righteous judgments and laws that befall those who do not repent, even if they are His people, so that His people may turn from evil ways, idolatry and disobedience, and turn to the light and be saved, recognizing Him out of love, so that they may not eventually fall into the terrible judgments resulting from His Righteous Justice, as was often the case with Israel in the past.
“Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD has spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master' crib: but Israel does not know, my people does not consider. […]Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil.” (Isaiah 1:2, 3, 16)
The Almighty works on earth, from Adam, from Israel, and also after the first coming of Christ into the world, and after the Institution of the Church, until the end of time, He works in such a way as to demonstrate, in the first place, before of His power, His Unique and Incomparable Character, Worthy, Wonderful, Loving, Righteous and Faithful, His Just Laws, His True Judgments, His mighty acts of salvation, His liberating arm of war that cannot be defeated , His Kingdom of Justice and His benign and forgiving heart, which strives rather to forgive than to condemn, in the measure of all possibilities, all those who with a simple and submissive heart are willing at least to look at Him and to contemplate the truth of His Faithfulness, Justice and Truth, the Three Stones of His Scepter, which He fully manifested in Christ the Son, who was the supreme manifestation of His Character and His Truth, of His Eternal Love for all, for justification and salvation of all those who turn to the truth and believe in Him, confessing His Faithfulness and Integrity, as the Only True God, through repentance and Faith.
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
"For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy to all them that call on you." (Psalm 86:5)
Peace be with the brothers.
