And because love involves choice, or free will, mankind was given the ability to choose to love or reject God. God wanted to love His creation and be loved by HIs creation. Why did He do that? Because God is also Love.
Because He is the God of creation, He created the universe and all that is in it. So before anything was created, God exists. That’s why when Jesus talked of Himself, He said, “I AM.” (Not me, but God.) And I did not misspeak. We know that before anything was created, I AM.
Let’s think for a moment about what we know about His plan. Why? Why does He put so much emphasis on this? Why does He need to have us know that He is God? Is it an ego thing? Does He need to be the most popular guy in the universe? Is he going for the most “Likes”? “Then they will know that I am the Lord.” Or sometimes God says, “Then you will know that I am the Lord.” The more often you repeat a skill, the better you will get at performing that skill. One of the time tested, successful teaching methods is repetition, right? The more often you hear information, the more likely it is that you will remember it. Sure, it’s God saying, “Then they will know that I am the Lord.” Have you noticed a recurring phrase here in Ezekiel? If you haven’t, you haven’t been listening. I’m calling today’s episode “Then You Will Know.” Comments on Ezekiel 31-36 Afterwards, I’ll have some thoughts to share with you.
