God's True Character: Exodus 34:6–7
When you think about the Lord, how do you conceive of him? A God of Justice? A God of Mercy? Who is God, or more specifically, Yahweh—God as defined and worshiped in the canon of the Bible?
Our instincts may lead us to the New Testament—the revelation of Jesus Christ. But how did the Hebrews (and later the Jews) understand who God was?
