KRISTINA
Good Morning, my name is Kristina Crabtree, minister of spiritual formation at Central United Methodist Church.
Who is God to you? Many of us today would have multiple answers to the nature of God. To me personally, God is love, faithful, and present. If you were to ask me about 5 years ago my answer would not have been a personal answer. There comes a time in our journey as followers of Jesus that God becoming real to us and not a story we learned as kids. Knowing God allows us to then know ourselves. We can never truly know ourselves if we do not know God and vice versa. The OT and NT view on God are very different. In the OT God was Holy, the Creator, the One True God. In the NT, God (through his Son) is loving, compassionate, patient, gracious. Our lead pastor as Central says, our view of grace determines our view of God. So what does grace mean to you today? Who is God to you personally?
