The next thing to be noted about the Christian conception of God is, that _God is perfect and infinite in all His intellectual and moral attributes and in power_.
1. First of all, fix your attention upon our first text: +"God is Light"+ (1 John 1:5). These three words form a marvellously beautiful and overwhelmingly impressive statement of the truth. They set forth the Absolute Holiness and Perfect Wisdom of God. The words need rather to be meditated upon than to be expounded. +"In Him is no darkness at all."+ That is to say, in Him is no darkness of error, no darkness of ignorance, no darkness of sin, no darkness of moral imperfection or intellectual imperfection of any kind. The three words, "God is Light," form one of the most beautiful, one of the most striking and one of the most stupendous statements of truth that was ever penned.
2. To come to things more specific, _the God of the Bible is omnipotent_. This great truth comes out again and again in the Word of God. One direct statement of this great truth especially striking because of the connection in which it is found, occurs in Jer. 32:17, 27: +"Ah Lord Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm: there is nothing too hard for thee."+ Here it is Jeremiah who makes the statement, but in the 27th verse it is Jehovah Himself who says: +"Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?"+
