Isaiah 55:8-11
God's Thoughts and God's Ways
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.
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
1 John 4:8
God is LOVE
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
John 3:16-17
God LOVES the World
16 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.
God by His very nature does not follow others...He is the Great I AM...So His behavior and views do not conform anyone's prevailing current or past ideas or practices...He does not conform to love, because He is LOVE....He does not conform to Truth, because His Word is Truth...He does not conform to morality, because I AM is Morality...When One is LOVE and Holy, Perfect, and Good this happens...We can certainly see that His thoughts are His Own thoughts, and His Ways are, in fact, His Ways...
For God to LOVE this world and not condemn it is truly amazing, in all that men do and have done throughout our history...We certainly can see the LOVE of God by man's behavior and the world around us...His LOVE is show by Him sending Jesus to try to help us and die for us, while we still continue to sin as we live among others and Him...
We see God's LOVING nature through His fruit of His Holy Spirit...The fruit gives us love, joy, kindness, faithfulness, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, and self-control...
