God is within us
God is not far from us, but within us.
God is not far from us, but within us.
In 1 Cor 3:16 it says: "Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" This means that we are His temples. When you reach a mystical state and offer Him a prayer, asking: "Heavenly Father, where are You?", you will be rewarded with a wonderful answer. He will say: "I am here! What's going on here? Didn't you get anything for breakfast?
The place where the true can dwell is the deepest part of your heart.
What kind of divine being is God? He is a personal God with intellect, emotion, and will. Since this personal God longs for love the most, he created humans as his partners in love. This is an amazing fact.
How did God, the first cause, shape humans? He created us in his own image. This means that the Father is similar to us just as we are similar to him. This leads us to the answer. What will we discover about his nature in our quest to understand God? If we conclude: "He is someone like me," then we are exactly right.
Kann der absolute Gott traurig sein? Kann der allwissende und allmächtige Gott Traurigkeit vermeiden? Kann Er Kummer verstehen? Das sind ernste Fragen, die ich nicht auf die leichte Schulter nehmen kann. Wir können nicht die Meinung aufrechterhalten, dass der absolute Gott der Vater der Menschheit sein kann und dennoch nie Kummer erfährt. Hier wäre ein logischer Widerspruch, denn dies würde Gott, den Vater, von Seinen Kindern fundamental distanzieren, die Intellekt, Gefühl und Willen besitzen und die Gefühle von Freude, Zorn, Leid und Vergnügen erleben.
