What do you know to be true of God?
A colleague texted me that question this morning. Here's my response:
God does not exist in a way humans can say that "God is" or that God "exists." God is outside time and space and thus is not constrained by creation. God's nature is creativity.
I believe the nature of God is love.
I believe God delights in creation and creatures.
I believe God does not keep a record of rights and wrongs like a scorecard as justification to send some of us to a fiery eternity.
I believe God wants to be in relationship with every creature and all of creation until, well beyond my ability to conceive how long.
God can't change what humans do. Our mistakes are our own. Neither does God rescue the good and let the bad live in punishment.
It was a hastily constructed text response, but it gets tot he essence of what I believe to be true of God. In this space though, let me add a bit more.
I believe we are created in the image of God by God's design.
I believe that, in Jesus, we see the fullest revelation of God in human form.
God is our constant companion. There is never a moment we are apart from God's presence.
Peace be with you,
Jerry
