Bible Question: John 4:10. Is God an it? |
Bible Answer: It is I who am undertaking to help here. Someone should try, and I am it. But it is God, perhaps, who must free us, from the need to focus on individual words so the thoughts from him can get through. For it is God who works in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure. It is humans who write words and change them over time, and it is I who will tell you that words have no purpose other than to communicate, and no meaning other than what they do communicate, and no flaw when they do communicate; but you may not believe me. Interesting, though, that “I” and “me” refer to the same person, and yet we capitalize “I”, and not “me”. It is humans who make these rules, but it is God who speaks to us in the Bible. It is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. It is He who must free us from the tyranny of words to actually hear His voice through the written words. It is he who will need to say, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid”. |
