“We will never find God until he first seeks us”. (page 75)
How has this been true in your own experience? Where in the Bible can we see this?

Our group did not agree with the statement, "We will never find God unless he first seeks us." because it implies that God is unfair in seeking some people and not others and that God is somehow lost.
ReplyDeleteBut people felt that, on the other hand, God is always seeking us. It is we who sometimes feel that God is lost, or in other words, we lose our awareness that God is with us. For example, we lose this awareness when bad things are happening in our lives or in the lives of other people we care about. We ask, "Where is God in all of this?"
We become blocked to God's presence by being focused on our problems rather than on God.
We also tend to take credit ourselves when things go well, rather than giving God credit.
We found several examples of God coming to people in the Bible: Moses and the burning bus, the Israelites in exile, Mary being visited by an angel announcing she would become the mother of Jesus, Jonah, Paul, and Adam and Eve. Also, Abraham was visited by God.
ReplyDeleteOur group commented that God comes to us by working in our hearts, by his spirit and through Jesus' resurrection,
ReplyDeleteHere are some Bible verses that talk about how God comes to us:
2 Corinthians 4:6
"For God, who said, "Let light shine out of the darkness" made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."
John 6:44
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day."
Ephesians 2:4-9
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive in Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions . . . For it is by grace you have been saved, through Faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so no one can boast."
