A Little More About Where God Came From And His Death

The sceptic asks, "Where did God come from?" To which we reply, "God has just always been. He is eternal, has no preceding cause." I think a better answer would be, "I don't know where God came from. Look at the great expanse of the universe, our Milky Way and the immense galaxies in the distance. We can only see the observable universe, just a bit of the whole. God is something beyond the whole of the universe, beyond infinity and beyond the nothingness beyond that. He has the power to create the universe and care for and respond to something as small and insignificant as us, and you look at this tiny speck of nothing that I am and expect me to explain where He came from? I haven't got a clue! Nevertheless, I can honestly tell you that He is there--and here--and that He acts and responds to me in my life. SOMETHING is there; it transcends from what it is to here, and it wants me to believe in this thing the Bible says is the Milta, the 'Son' of God, God's own Manifestation. What God is and where He came from I do not understand. I can only tell you that He is certainly there, and that even as immense as He extends, He is aware of us, wants to forgive us of our sin of self-will, of not being like Him, and wants us to become as He is--free of guilt and condemnation, alive and pure before God. That immense magnificence is the very definition of holy perfection, and to forgive us and accept us He had to die of His demand of perfection and become us. In becoming us, in taking our sin upon Himself and dying for it, He bought us and redeemed us and became our Savior. I am sorry I cannot explain where He came from, but I know that He loves us, and I know that He loves you."
