2.GOD IS ETERNALGod cannot be understood by human logic alone because God is eternal. We logically understand everything to have a beginning but God has no beginning. ‘For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place,’ Isaiah 57.15.
God should never be thought of as a physical being like us. ‘thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself,’ Psalm 50:21. God is altogether different. In Genesis 1:26 God refers to Himself in the plural, “Let us make man in our own image.” God is three persons Father, Son and Spirit each distinct, having personality yet equal meaning there is no inferiority. In Matt 3:16 we read of all three working together in their distinct roles, ‘Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’ God cannot be approached without faith, But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. We have no right to question how God exists, He exists in the way He chooses to exist because He is Almighty God and we must either accept His word if we are to know God. |
