Bible Question:
Once again, I must wholeheartedly agree with my fellow believers. You have both done an excellent job of articulating two very important characteristics of God. Namely His "transcendance" (focused on by Debbie), and his "imminence" (focused on by Lionstrong). I also appreciate and agree with your suggestions about OUR purpose in life. At the same time, I would still appreciate more input as to ideas about what God's purpose is. As a follower of Christ, I strive to understand God as much as possible. I feel therefore, that discovering His motivations, can help us immensly. Any more ideas? |
Bible Answer: Romans 8:28-30 (NASB) says (28) "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (29) "For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;" (30) "and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified." He is the Director in these verses and a whole lot more. Study this passage and let the words melt in your mouth. Steve |
