ArchivedWho is God?Most people and religions agree that God created the Universe, and is infinite in wisdom and power. However, different religions and cultures have disparate opinions about who God is. Some see him as a mighty warrior who destroys evildoers and unbelievers, and protects those who are faithful to him. Others see him as someone who is awesome and just, who watches over us from a distance. Still others believe that God is love (1 John 4; 7-12). They see him as a kind, merciful, all forgiving, generous and loving father, who created us in his own image (by giving us the ability to live His life of love); in order that, we might share His life and have an intimate love relationship with Him and each other. They also see Him as our savior, who redeemed us from evil (which is rooted in selfishness) by taking a human form (as Jesus the Son of God) and emptying Himself completely of self (through His most horrifying and humiliating death on the cross) on our behalf, and giving us eternal life by feeding us with His own sacrificial body and blood (John 6, 53-58). They also see Him as the Holy Spirit (spirit of love), who dwells in every human heart, and who continually shows us the path to true love. They see these three attributes of God, as three persons in a single being of God. Because God is love and expression of love needs a free will, each of the three attributes of God’s has a free will. This makes each attribute a separate person. They further believe that, because, love is eternal, He (who is love) and those reborn in Him, live a life of love that cannot be destroyed by death. In other words, those, whose life is unconditional love (which is God’s life), do not die with the death of their earthly bodies. Unconditional love (which is God) cannot die, because, it is unconditional. Therefore, there is no condition or situation that can alter it or destroy it. You can brutalize Him, mock Him, scourge Him, crucify or kill Him; but He who is unconditional love, never dies. |
