God is God ...

Monday, Jan 24, 2022. Who is God? The monotheistic religions see God as the one, who has existence in himself. He is the creator of all what we know. He created the whole universe. He created the suns and the planets. He created life on earth. He did it his way, with mechanisms we can try to understand. He gave us reason and intelligence, to explore his creation. But more than that.

The riches of God …

God created beings. He, himself, in himself, is community. That is the Christian teaching about God in father, son and holy spirit. God is father and son, he is love himself. All we know about friendship, companionship, love and community is a reflection of the community which God is in father, son and spirit.

When

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. (Ephesians 1, 18 ff)
