The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 5: The Unseen Kingdom of God: God of Love, Harmony and Peace

God of Love, Harmony and Peace

                This, then, should tell you what kind of God He truly is.  He is a God that loves harmony and not pain and suffering.  He is not a God who loves both extremes.  If God is efficient, as it only makes sense that He is, then God would create other intelligent beings to help Him create and maintain all things.  If God is efficient then He would realize immediately that only when all things are at peace and working in harmony will they be the most efficient that they can be.  In order to be at peace and work in harmony, then, these beings would need to be happy.  After all, it is plain to see that those who are miserable do not work as well with one another.

                Therefore, it only makes sense that God is a God of love and peace and joy and happiness and harmony.  He wants all creation to live in this manner because all things work better together when they are happy and full of love and peace and joy.  When people are hurting and hateful and spiteful and mean, they are destructive.  Being destructive then tears down the system and causes it to malfunction.  It goes against efficiency and perfection.  It creates pain and misery which then causes things to lose energy and become weak which then slows down processes and makes things fall apart and even stop.

                So God must be a good God who wants nothing but love and joy and peace and happiness for all of His creations because that would go along with the most logical nature of an eternal, indestructible God. 

                But that still doesn’t explain why things are the way they are.  We obviously still have a lot left to solve for.  Sure, we now can see that God wanted to create us, and that His desire to create us was motivated by love, for He is a God of love and harmony and peace.  This also means that we now can conclude that indeed God wants us to live in peace and harmony and that He is simply enduring all this pain and misery so that He can get to His ultimate goal.  What we still don’t know is, “What is God’s ultimate objective?”  I mean, since we know He loves and wants harmony and peace, and we are all messed up and living in chaos, there must be something more that He is looking to achieve through this whole act of creation.  What is God’s end game?

                Let’s continue with our discussion about the Unseen Kingdom of God and see if this mystery can also be solved.
