The Personality of God

God's personality, though not fully comprehensible, is a fundamental aspect of his nature. It's revealed through Creator Sons like Jesus and unifies the universe. God's personality transcends materialism and pantheism.

Summary

One aspect of God that anyone can grasp is the fact of God’s personality. We may not understand it in its fullness, but we can be assured that whatever our understanding of the personality of God, he cannot be anything less than the concept that we are able to grasp. God can know and be known, love and be loved just as any person can know and love another. As Jesus once said to Thomas, "It matters little what idea of the Father you may entertain as long as you are spiritually acquainted with the ideal of his infinite and eternal nature." We can see the personality of God in his Creator Sons. Jesus of Nazareth is the perfect example of someone who told us that when we had seen him, we had seen the Father. Through his life, he revealed the personality of God. It is the personality of God that reveals his unity. Personality is spread throughout the universe, but it is centered in the Universal Father, who IS personality. If we deny God’s personality, we are left with the concepts of either materialism or pantheism; however, a progressing personality mediated by mind and spirit transcends both of these concepts.
