Divine Definitions: (1) The original conscious, volitional being; (2) The source and destiny of all subsequent personalities; omnipersonal; (3) The being who is designing, deciding, and directing creation; (4) Agreeable; good-natured; friendly
Comment: Personality is not simply an attribute of God; it is the co-ordination of a unified will, an infinite nature, and His universally revealed expression. We can have a (limited) idea of a supreme force but we can only have a relationship with a person. Each and every person is unique. Only a person can love and be loved, and if that person is God, then the love coming in our direction is immense.
