Episode notes
Name Reveals Divine Being
- God names himself 'I AM WHO I AM' to reveal his self-existence and memorial identity to generations.
- R.C. Sproul emphasizes Biblical names disclose being and character, so this name conveys God's eternal nature.
Worship For Who God Is
- True worship arises from adoring God for who he is, not merely for what he does.
- Sproul stresses God's attributes (omniscience, omnipresence, eternality, simplicity) are flawless and demand reverence.
Why There Is Something
- The oldest philosophical question is why there is something rather than nothing, answered biblically: 'In the beginning, God.'
- Sproul argues everything began in time and only God, who is eternal, existed before creation.
