Job 7:6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks trying to describe to you this God I serve. I could spend the next six months talking about the character and actions of my God and still have only scratched the surface. If I did, I fear that some would tire and fall away. I don’t want that and I believe God does not want that either.

These days we live in are filled with action and adventure. It is hard to keep people’s attention. It is hard to keep people in your life. It is hard because it isn’t all up to you. People have to find time for you and you have to find time for them. Meaningful relationships flourish only where both parties make time for each other. This is why a relationship with this Eternal God is so easy to maintain. He is Omnipresent, He is there all the time, everywhere.

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

The burden of relationship is all on our part. As with any relationship shared interests keep relationships active and meaningful. God does not covet things, He covets people. God is not interested in things, He is interested in people. Things cannot love you. God loves you.

It is now time to move on to our next subject of interest. I’ve been thinking on this for some time and I spent a month on faith and two weeks on “this God”. I want to remain simplistic in my approach but cover these interests with enough detain for a good or valued understanding. I do not desire to wear you out with exhaustive studies, so please understand there will be things on each topic left for you to discover on your own. My hope is that you will.

Revelation 1:10-11a I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book,

Alpha meaning the beginning, Omega meaning the end, of what? He is referring to time, He was before time began and He will be after time ceases. Every expression man uses to express eternity is inadequate to comprehend eternity because we use words we understand to express something we will never see.

Eternity is timeless, time does not exist in eternity. We have no point of reference to describe such an existence, if it is an existence at all. Existence is a time related word. Forever is a time related word. It is impossible to describe eternity, timeless eternity, in terms of time. If that sounds confusing, then I have achieved my goal. Eternity is beyond our comprehension.

God created us for His sake, because of His character of love, which needs to be expressed and have an object to receive that love. Love is an expression of relationship, communion, therefor communication is essential. God in His wisdom has communicated in terms we can understand. God came to us in the form of man, Jesus Christ, in order that He could feel what it is like to be human. For the deeper and more mysterious things of His existence He gave us the Holy Spirit to receive those things by faith.

Even with the help of the Holy Spirit man is still a vain creature, trying earnestly to express with words things that cannot be experienced. God created a place called Eden which is outside eternity in which He could commune with His creation. Everything He has done since the fall of Adam was done to restore us to that experience.

Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
