1 John 4:8
God is LOVE
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
John 14:6-7
Anyone Who Has Seen Jesus Has Seen His Father
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
John 3:16-17
Whoever Believes in Jesus Will Have Eternal Life
6 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 10:10
Jesus Gives Us Life Abundantly
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 17:3
Now This is Eternal Life
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
John 18:36-37
Jesus Was Born to Testify to the Truth
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.” 37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
Psalm 19:1-6
The Heavens Declare God's Glory
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
Isaiah 55:8-9
Higher Thoughts
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
I believe that Absolute Truth is LOVE...I also believe that Complete Understanding is LOVE...Can you believe that Universal Truths lead us to LOVE?...Do you see a connection or link between the Universal Truths and LOVE?...Do you see connections or some Link throughout nature?...
It is often very hard to think of Truth as being Absolute...I believe people believe that Truth is more of a personal thing, and that Truth is relative and thus making defining Truth gets more subjective...But there are some Exclusive Truths, and there was a Man who two thousand years ago, taught us about Exclusive Truths...Believing that Truth is exclusive makes Truth divisive and controversial...This is because most of us believe that Truth and our Truths are personal...So if my Truth is my Truth and your Truth is your Truth, they may not coincide and connect, so we will not connect together in our beliefs, and will not become emotionally connected...But there is something that seems to tie things together emotionally and Spiritually, and that is LOVE...And for believers, God is LOVE...This to me is another reason to believe there must be an Absolute Truth, which links the entire universe together...When we study the entire universe, scientists are seeing that the universe is linked together with mathematics and equations...Math is the great example of Universal Truths...A true math equation is the same anywhere on earth, or anywhere in the entire universe...When one believes in Universal Truths, like math and view them as unchanging one can better see that there is this connection, this Link, throughout the universe...
One might ask how did nature and the universe get so organized?...There is a combination of things -like Truth, and there is reason, and there is logic, and there is LOVE...These are a very unusual combination of things (Truth, reason, logic, and LOVE), but these things among others seem to connect us to Something, including nature...Believers can see this Link as something with reason and Something that is organized and is logical...And this Link, at least for me, is the Creator, who has been around since the beginning -connecting and linking all things together...He linked these things and all things in the beginning as Creation was spoken into existence...
Scientists have very much helped us see this organized universe over the past many years...The scientific community has help us see this Universal Language much better than any other group...As we see the fine tuning of the universe, we can and might believe that God's Word overlaps with nature...And somehow, with God's hand, nature seems to have gotten together by structured mathematics, according to physicists...Therefore, I believe that God is our First and Greatest Mathematician...We see God in the heavens, and that the heavens declare His Glory...We see and can almost feel His Presence in His creation and throughout nature...
Jesus teaches us that there is an Exclusive Truth, and that there are Exclusive Truths...Jesus was born to testify about the Exclusive Truths in Life, and the Way to those Truths...He is the Way, the Way to Moral Truth...He is the Truth, the Absolute Truth...And He is the Life...Both Life on earth is more abundant with Him, a fuller life, and He is the One that brings and gives Eternal Life...He was born and came into the world to testify to the truth...Jesus and His Being Exclusive Truth makes life fuller in the sense that we lose that empty feeling and the thoughts in our heads of "Is that all there is to life."...Jesus is the One that does give us a full and abundant life...And He gives meaning to life...
Should we view Truth as not being personal, and view it as Absolute and that there is this Absolute, Universal Truth?...Should we glimpse at Truth in a Spiritual sense, so we might find the Absolute Truth?...Is it possible Truth is more Spiritual than one could ever think, in the sense that Jesus is Truth, and is and was a Person on earth years ago?...Should and does viewing the Truth as Spiritual and as a part of one's faith bring them closer to Jesus, if you believe that He is Truth, and the Absolute Truth?...Mathematics in itself cannot be all of nature...And those who might say it is, know that we cannot experience nature through just numbers and equations...Nature is to be experienced...So can it possibly be that how we see Truth and believe and experience these Absolute Truths, is how we see and view and believe in God?...After all Jesus is Truth, and His Truths and Ways are the only Way to God...
Blaise Pascal, the great mathematician, said, "Reason's last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond it."...I might add that Infinity is much like the Eternal...And reason and logic can take us to Truth and LOVE and into eternal life and these infinite number of things that are beyond our recognition...So Truth transcends life...
If creation and nature is no more than a number that just repeats itself everywhere, what do we have in nature?...How does the numbers in nature give us our feeling of beauty?...Numbers may not be a thing of beauty, except for the mathematician and do they really appeal to the heart?...But beauty is to be experienced...LOVE is to be experienced...God wants us to experience these things of beauty...God is LOVE and He wants us to experience His LOVE, His Presence, and all the beauty around us...
