The Nature of God and Forgiveness

The Forgiving Nature of God:

Someone asked me if God wants to forgive us he could have just said a word or he could have done something, why should he come in the form of man and be crucified?

All I know is that God Loves us and he just does not want to say, but to show - Demonstrate his Love for us. If he has just said a word we would have been forgiven, no doubt about it, but to show us that we should also strive to be like him, because we are made in his image. When we suffer we are not alone, he did not left us alone to suffer. He forgives us our sins and heals all our diseases. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. He has promised that he will be with us for eternity. For which we should be able to live here without sin and with him. He did not chose to leave us free from problems and troubles, but instead he gives us helping hand - Mighty hand and he has a loving heart.

Galatians 6:7 NIV
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Above all God's Nature is Love. He showed us how much he loves us, by sending us his Son - Jesus Christ. We are to acknowledge his love by accepting his Son, who is the only way to the Heavenly Father. His life should be our role model, our all in all, everything. He should be our Author & Finisher of our Faith, He should be our First and the Only Priority in life, He is the Alpha & Omega, He is the Beginning and the End, He is the Great "I AM", He is YAHWEH, He is El Shaddai.

Challenges in understanding the Nature Of God:

How can God be in Human Form? - Jesus Christ


The Omnipotence Paradox is about God's providence on providing:

The omnipotence paradox states that: If a being can perform any action, then it should be able to create a task that it is unable to perform. Hence, this being cannot perform all actions. On the other hand, if this being cannot create a task that it is unable to perform, then there is something it cannot do.

One version of the omnipotence paradox is the so-called paradox of the stone: "Could an omnipotent being create a stone so heavy that even he could not lift it?" If he could lift the rock, then it seems that the being would not have been omnipotent to begin with in that he would have been incapable of creating a heavy enough stone; if he could not lift the stone, then it seems that the being either would never have been omnipotent to begin with or would have ceased to be omnipotent upon his creation of the stone

This paradox sounds something like the Temptation of Jesus Christ on Wilderness.

Matthew 4:3 ►NIV
The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

Here the question is to make the stone even more larger, that he cannot hold. God is not as what we think who he is. First of all he does't have to make anything to prove who he is. He already exists. So, it is we who need to understand who God is. He does't have to create anything to prove that he exists.

Colossians 1:16 NIV
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

For we are the one, we can't do anything with ourselves:

Matthew 5:36 NIV
And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
