Read Romans Chapter 15
Chapter 15 gives us four descriptions of the character of God. There are two listed in verse 5: “Now may the God of (patience) and (comfort) grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,”
So first off He is the God of patience or as some translations say “who gives endurance“. I like the God of patience! Wow, aren't you glad that He is so patient with us, whereas I would have given up on me a long time ago. His love and mercy and patience is never ending!
Next it says He is the God of comfort. Most translations use the word encouragement. Oh wow, that so awesome! God is a encourager. I believe He is our biggest cheerleader in life!
Verse 13 says “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing." So thirdly He is the God of Hope! And not only hope, but he wants us full of joy!
Finally verse 33 says “Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.” He is the God of peace. He wants us, his children, to live in peace! Folks, this is a picture of God, but better yet this is our Father!!!
