3. Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth
and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
4. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from

7keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means
clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's
children to the third and the fourth generation.
In this day and generation so many people try to reduce God to fit into our concepts of who God is and how he should act, to many He is a best mate, to others He is only to be called on as a talisman or rabbits foot, I know when I spoke to a man who was a Jehovah Witness this is exactly how he treated God. If we look at the catechism question no 5 above and the answers with scriptural proofs we find a God that is above comprehension with our mortal finite mind. He only gives us small glimpse of Himself in His word, We need to trust Him in all that He says and does. Our God is indeed a truly Awesome God, He needs to be worshipped and adored for Who He is.
