How Would God Introduce Himself?

Who is the God of the Bible? How would God introduce Himself to us? Dr Mark Lehman, in one of his sermons in audio sermon, suggested that Genesis 1:1 would be the best introduction.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1 KJV).

God is our Creator. And what does He want to do to us?

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 12:1-3 KJV)

God wanted to bless us. Abraham was the great example that God gave to us. Not only that He saved us and died for our sins.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 KJV)
