God Has Spoken

Who is this God who has spoken? What has He said? Where do I learn what He has said? To quote an old adage: “out of sight, is out of mind,” but is God truly out of sight? Humanity generally ignores God and His Words are viewed with disbelief. But disbelief will only get us in trouble. God not only thinks He is boss, but is! What is your concept of “God-ness.” My computer has one. Just now, when I typed “Godness,” spell-checker changed the word to “goodness.” That is good, because God’s goodness is great. There is no “badness” or evil in God, but how do we know this? Man is capable of defining or understanding anything that his “senses” can reveal to him. We humans need to see, taste, touch, smell, or hear something to comprehend it. We are in darkness regarding anything that exists beyond our natural human abilities to discern. Man has one other “sense,” however, which makes some think we are reaching beyond our basic senses for understanding. This other “sense” is our imagination or “make believe.” In and of our own ability,we cannot see, touch, smell, hear or taste anything beyond our real time or physical world. What does this have to do with God speaking? If there is a God, and if this God wants us to know anything about Him, then God must reveal Himself to man. Why? God must reveal Himself to man because if He is God, He has to exist above the order, or “laws” of the physical world, which He created. We can infer from the order of the physical realm that God must exist, that He must be great and all powerful, but little else is discernible. God’s existence is revealed by His creation, our physical realm; He is beyond our sensible ability to fully comprehend by our senses, but He has spoken. He has spoken so He could reveal His purpose for creation and His purpose for man. His purpose is His world view.
