What can we say about God ?in Psalm 103 v 8 reads,'The Lord is compassionate and gracious,slow to anger,abounding in love'.People appear to ignor these words,and indeed reject what they would call the God of the OT,as if the NT is proclaiming a different God,and of course that's not true.There is only one God there is none other cp Isaiah 45 v5-6 ,/14/18/21/22. chap 46 v9,47 v10.There is not two god's ,there is only one God,his nature is the same in the NT as it is in the OT.The God who is compassionate in the OT,was compassionate in the person of Jesus who was God manifest in the flesh '1 Timothy 3 v 16/ John 1 v1/v14'.These words were written by John,who also recorded the confession by Thomas ,who called Jesus God and Lord ( John 20 v28.) As for Jesus the writers of the gospels ,wrote how compassionate he was Cp Matthew 9 v36-38/Mark 6 v34/ Luke 7 v13/ John 11 v35.As God in the OT is gracious we read in John 1 v17 we read ,'Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.We leave it at that,what I have written ,hopefully will show you that there is only one God in the whole of the Bible.
