A Sojourner’s Thoughts

Picking up from the last post, Why God?, because He made the effort for restorations…

You see after creation came a life of communion with God. In Eden, Adam and Eve, had a close intimate relationship with God, their creator. This, I believe, is why God created us, for an intimate, personal relationship. However, Satan, one of God’s other created being, stepped in and disrupted the relationship. In Eden, there weren’t many rules but one clearly stated boundary was to not eat of the fruit from the tree. We failed sin was introduced into God’s perfect creation. Sin resulted in a separation between God the creator and his creation, you and I. God could have walk away at that point and said enough, be gone from me. However, that is not what God did, rather, we see from Genesis on through the rest of the Bible, that God has in fact a plan to restore the lost relationship.

Why God? Because He is concerned about our relationship with Him.

More on this later…

Why God? This is a question with a multitude of layers. So here is my attempt at one of the layers.

The Bible begin “In the beginning God…” This is a great answer, Why God? because God was at the beginning. This then raises a question I don’t have an answer for, where did God come from? But then again this is a question that needs to be raised regardless of how you believe things came into being. Can something be created from nothing? There has to be a beginning and I trust in what the Bible says, “In the beginning God…” So what did God do in the beginning, He created. I am a product of a God who was from the beginning Creator of all things. We see this unfold thought out the first couple of chapters of Genesis. He created the sky and the earth, plants and animals, sun, moon and stars, and then he created us. Why God? Because he is our creator.

More to come…..

Have you ever had a question that just kind of nags at you? The question that I have is “Why God?” Now I wish I could tell you what exactly this question means, but I haven’t unpacked it enough yet. I began to ruminate on this question a couple of days ago and this morning as I awoke it was the first thing I started to ponder. It is odd to have to unpack the meaning of a question before you can answer it. I would enjoy to hear from other about this question. It could be addressed on a variety of levels. I can see that it will take a bit of pondering, so this is where I will be heading in this blog and my times of pondering for the next little while.
