My hope is that this series will offer my readers a chance to consider the names, characteristics and descriptions of our God in the Word.
The remaining Names of God in this series might be considered descriptors, or characteristics of the Lord. We have reviewed the three primary Names of God, along with nineteen compound Names of God in our previous posts. As we venture through these descriptors of our God, I hope we will recognize all the many characteristics of our God that we tend to take for granted.
The Word is truly rich with descriptions of the Living God, and this effort of searching in the Word was quite illuminating. He truly is the ultimate subject of the Word, and His revelation of self-descriptions, or the accolades offered Him by His priests, prophets, kings apostles and faithful truly is a blessing.
May the Name of the Lord be praised, and by thinking on His name, may you have a blessed day.

| CHRIST OUR LIFE |
| Colossians 3:4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. |
| Our life does not consist of hours and minutes, for that is simply a period of time that allows us to serve and self maintain. Our life does not consist of consuming bread, for that only extends our physical life. Our life does not consist of labor, for that only enables us to buy the bread we consume. Our life does not consist of the vanity of pride, which we are caught up in and that distracts us from truth. Our life does not consist of acquisition of things, such as cars, homes and clothing, for that only provides shelter for us as we live on this globe. Our life, according to Paul, consists of the Anointed One, the Christ. Our life is actually invisible to us currently, but there shall come a day when we shall see the centrality of Him, that He is our life. Until then, we walk by faith, and seek to know Him better, in order that He may consume us, weaning us from those things we so often consider to be our lives. Let us thank Him for all He is to us, that He is our life, and that we may live in Him, content and finding Him sufficient for all our needs and wants. He is the Christ, our life. |
