God needs us!

Post by Gman »

For the record... I believe that Yeshua (or G-d) DOES need us.. He needs workers of His word. You are extremely VALUABLE in G-d's eyes. So valuable that He died for you! John 3:16

In Christ's own words...

Luke 10:2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

Shalom! :eugeek:
The heart cannot rejoice in what the mind rejects as false - Galileo

We learn from history that we do not learn from history - Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. -Philippians 4:8

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

God is self-sufficient and doesn't need any one of us. God loves us, He wants and desires us; we are needed in this sense by God.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

Yes... You can argue that God is all self sufficient needing nothing from us.. That maybe true. But He also desires a relationship and dialog. Ultimately I believe that God created us for a relationship or worship. A bride.
