The Mother of All Questions:
If God is REAL, what is He LIKE?
Paul Goes to Athens
24 “The true God is the Creator of all things. He is the owner and Lord of the heavenly realm and the earthly realm, and he doesn’t live in man-made temples.
25 He supplies life and breath and all things to every living being. He doesn’t lack a thing that we mortals could supply for him, for he has all things and everything he needs.
26 From one man, Adam, he made every man and woman and every race of humanity, and he spread us over all the earth. He sets the boundaries of people and nations, determining their appointed times in history.
27 He has done this so that every person would long for God, feel their way to him, and find him—for he is the God who is easy to discover!
28 It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, ‘Our lineage comes from him.’
-Acts 17:24-28 (TPT)

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. -Matthew 7:7 (NLT)
Expect
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. -James 1:5 (NLT)
