| Function Of God |
|
As with every thing God has ever done there is a function, a purpose, a specific meaning to His design and creation. One has only to look around for a minute to see the divine intelligence of God in the working of every living creature. It was orchestrated to perfection. Once we understand there is a heavenly order to the things God has done, we begin to realize how much God cares for our growth and person. He has taken care of everything, thought it out before we could think for ourselves. Before we continue let's look at a few definitions to give us a clear understanding of God's function, God's purpose and God's will. FUNCTION —(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
PURPOSE —(MSN Encarta)
PURPOSE —(Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words) Greek: boulema NT:^1013^ —(Vines Dictionary of New Testament Words)
Greek: bouleuo NT:^1011^ —(Vines Dictionary of New Testament Words)
This is the trust we should have in Him, He is God Almighty, He knows better than we do. Think about it. If there is a God, and there is, then wouldn't He see that everything would work out to His goal, His intention, before bringing it into creation? I mean come on; He is not like us, acting without even a thought. No, quite the contrary, He does everything with a purpose and on purpose. That is His will. WILL —(Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary,)
THAT ALL THINGS WOULD BE DONE
TO THE PRAISE OF THE GLORY OF HIS GRACE What God accomplishes in individuals is just a small scale model of what He has plans for doing collectively, in the Church, as a whole. You see, there are no limits in Him. God does have a goaland plan in mind; He has had one since before the creation of the world.My desire is that all men would come to a knowledge of the real TRUTH, as we can with the assistance of the "Spirit of Truth". I pray that this writing will prove to be the definitive part that has eluded us in our search for the answer to those fundamentally necessary foundational questions. |
