A spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the greatest need of every human creature.
The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear understanding of His attributes as revealed in Holy Scripture. An unknown God cannot be truly trusted, served, nor worshipped. In this book, an effort has been made to describe some of the principal perfections of His divine character. And if we are to truly profit from our perusal of the pages herein, we need to earnestly ask God to bless them to us, to apply His Truth to our conscience and heart, so that, by it, our lives will be transformed.
We need something more than a theoretical knowledge of God. God is only truly known in the soul inasmuch as we yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord (Hosea 6:3). If any man will do His will, he shall know (John 7:17). The people that do know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32).
About the Author
Arthur Walkington Pink (1886-1952) was an influential British Christian evangelist and biblical scholar known for his profound writings and teachings on Reformed theology. Born in Nottingham, England, Pink converted to Christianity in his early twenties, and lived a life devoted to the Lord. His passion for Scripture led him to pastorates in the United States and Australia, though he is best remembered for his prolific writing. Pink’s works, including The Sovereignty of God and numerous articles in his monthly magazine, Studies in the Scriptures, have had a lasting impact in the body of Christ.

1 review for The Attributes of God
I think it would be fair to call this a scholarly work. However, that doesn’t mean that it is boring or lacking practical usefulness. There were statements in this book that I found quite penetrating, if not convicting. Such as:
• The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear mental understanding of His attributes as revealed in Holy Scripture. An unknown God cannot be trusted, served, not worshiped. (Preface)
• My whole life stood open to His view from the beginning. He foresaw my every fall, my every sin, my every backsliding; yet He fixed His heart on me. Oh, how the realization of this should bow me in wonder and worship before Him! (Chapter 3, The Knowledge of God)
• …He has willed everything that is for His child’s good. To ask for anything contrary to His will is not prayer, but outright rebellion. (Chapter 7, The immutability of God)
• God also constrains the natural corruption of men. He allows sufficient outbreaks of sin to show what fearful havoc has been wrought by man’s apostasy form his Maker, but who can conceive the frightful lengths to which men would go if God were to remove His curbing hand? (Chapter 9, The Power of God)
• … it is one thing to accept the faithfulness of God as a divine truth, it is quite another to act on it. God has given us man exceeding great and precious promises (2 Peter 1:4), but are we really counting on His fulfillment of them? Are we actually expecting Him to do for us all that He has said? Are we resting with implicit assurance on these words, He is faithful that promised (Hebrews 10:23)? (Chapter 10, The Faithfulness of God)
• Gratitude is the return justly required from the objects of His beneficence, yet it is often withheld from our great Benefactor simply because His goodness is so constant and so abundant. We do not value it because it is such a common part of our lives. It is not felt because we experience it daily. Despisest thou the riches of his goodness? (Romans 2:4). His goodness is despised when it is not improved as a means to lead men to repentance, but, on the contrary, serves to harden them from the supposition that God entirely overlooks their sin. (Chapter
• Grace is a provision for men who are so fallen that they cannot lift the axe of justice, so corrupt that they cannot change their own natures, so averse to God that they cannot turn to Him, so deaf that they cannot hear Him, and so dead that He himself must open their graves and lift them into resurrection. (Chapter 13, The Grace of God)
• The love of God is so transcendent it cannot be estimated. (Chapter 15, The Love of God)
• Faithfulness demands that we speak as plainly about hell as about heaven. (Chapter 16, The Wrath of God)
As the author stated in the preface, the purpose of the book is to describe the perfections of our God’s divine character so that we can know Him in order to trust Him, serve Him and worship Him. This is a great reminder to me that our relationship with God does not stop with placing our trust in Him for our salvation based on Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection and ascension, but it goes on to greater depths of relationship with Him. This book opens the door to a deeper understanding of God’s character with the hope that we will be drawn into a deeper love with our Creator.
