What does it mean if Christians believe God is loving and holy?
In this unit, pupils will learn about what Christians believe God is like, exploring key texts from the Bible, using ways of knowing that theologians use. They will study passages from the book of Isaiah and Psalm 103 (Old Testament) and the book of 1 John (New Testament) to work out some ways the Bible says that God is both holy and loving. Pupils will learn how to use key vocabulary such as 'omnipotent, omniscient and eternal' to describe the Christian view of God. Pupils will link their learning in this topic to other concepts studied to suggest why Christians believe that God is forgiving and loving, showing the impact that sin can have on the lives of believers. Pupils will be able to explain that for most Christians, getting to know God is like getting to know a person.
