Today we will be dealing with 20 bible verses about God’s character KJV. The scripture makes us understand that we are created in the image and likeness of God. This naturally means, we must have some trait of God in us. It means we ought to be exhibiting God’s character. The people of Antioch only had to meet the apostles because they coin out the name Christian, which means Christ-like. This is because the apostles behaved like Christ everywhere they go. People look at them and didn’t need to see Christ anymore, because they represent Christ.
As believers, we must also show God’s character and traits everywhere we go. But how do we do this when we don’t even know God enough to learn about his character. The apostles lived with Christ for too long that they began to live like him, walk like him, speak like him, and show traits of him. This is because their level of relationship with Christ Jesus was high and that’s why they could fully emulate the trait and image of Christ Jesus.
The more we learn about God and work in his bidding, the more we know about God. Our knowledge of God borders on our intimacy with Him. And our intimacy with Him helps us live better and show God’s character. When people see us, they should see God. Especially as believers, we are the scripture that other people study. So if our lives are not showing God’s character, then the purpose of Evangelism has been defeated. We have compiled a list of 20 bible verses about God’s character. Let’s take time to study them.
1. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the LORD. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.

12. Deuteronomy 20:1-4
When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you.

Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not panic or be terrified by them. For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”
13. Deuteronomy 4:24-31
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God and arousing his anger, I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you. There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
14. Deuteronomy 4:30-31
When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him. For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
16. Deuteronomy 10:12-13
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
17. Deuteronomy 10:14-16
To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. Yet the LORD set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today. Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer.
18. Deuteronomy 10:17-20
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name.
19. Deuteronomy 10:21-22
