Bible Question: ... |
Bible Answer: Dear sour_boarder, To me your question seems a bit too vague. I wish you would expand the question and ask in more detail. Please do so that I or someone else may answer more appropriately. Nonetheless, I will try to attempt an answer here. God does not need anything. However, he does choose to do things in a certain way. It is true that God often works through his people ("His Army"). ------------------ 1 Cor 1:26-29 (AMP) states: 26For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth. 27[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. 28And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are, 29So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God. ----------------- Not only does God work through his people, but also he often uses weak people to accomplish that goal. In this way He is glorified. This way people don't boast but He is given the Glory. Hope this gives you some insight as to why God works through his people. This is why God chooses to use people ("an army"). It is definitely not that he "needs" one. There are many other verses I can provide to show this. If you expand/clarify your question maybe I can offer more. regards, thenoel2 |
