That&#8217;s a crazy question. This post is part one of a two-part post. The second part answers, &#8220;Who am I that I should love God? That will be next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So, who is God that He should love me? First of all, who is God? I believe in this fundamental concept; God created all the laws of science and every word inscribed in the Bible; if there is conflict, there is something about one of them we don&#8217;t understand. Therefore, any conflict between God&#8217;s word and science is artificial. It is a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Incredible God of the Universe<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Job+12%3A7-10&amp;version=ESV\"><strong>Job 12:7-10<\/strong><\/a>, \"But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you, and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">According to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/startswithabang\/2018\/10\/18\/this-is-how-we-know-there-are-two-trillion-galaxies-in-the-universe\/?sh=4f703c4c5a67\"> Forbes<\/a>, the known universe has over 200 billion galaxies. <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/how-many-stars-are-there-in-space-165370\">Curious Kids<\/a> states that the universe has approximately 200 billion trillion stars. Or, to put it another way, 200 sextillions. &#8220;Around 95 percent of the universe is still a mystery with unknown exotic particles and new forces awaiting discovery,&#8221; a quote from <a href=\"Professor%20Elisabetta%20Barberio,%20University%20of%20Melbourne\">Professor Elisabetta Barberio<\/a>, University of Melbourne. That is the bigness of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Colossians+1%3A16&amp;version=NIV\"><strong>Colossians 1:16<\/strong><\/a>, \"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.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6s8hyN6LCSk\">A caterpillar has 228 different muscles in its head<\/a>. T<a href=\"https:\/\/rainforests.mongabay.com\/amazon\/amazon-rainforest-facts.html\">he Amazon is estimated to have 16,000 tree species.<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spider_silk\">Spiders can produce up to seven kinds<\/a> of silk and an oily secretion that stops their feet from sticking to their spider web. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, while humans take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. Also, a tiny acorn has everything it needs to grow into a massive 150-foot White Oak with approximately six million leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The God of creation is beyond our understanding. God is both enormous and intricate. God did not create all this to throw it into the ether to see what would happen. He did it to show His majesty and glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalms+19%3A+1-4&amp;version=NIV\"><strong>Psalm 19:1-4<\/strong><\/a>, \"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day, they pour forth speech; night after night, they reveal knowledge. They have no speech; they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens, God has pitched a tent for the sun.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>God Created Man<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">He knew us from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Jeremiah+1%3A5&amp;version=NIV\"><strong>Jeremiah 1:5<\/strong><\/a> \"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+139%3A16&amp;version=NIV\"><strong>Psalm 139:16<\/strong><\/a> \"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book&nbsp; before one of them came to be.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Man was part of the initial design&#8217;s tapestry of creation: His crowning joy. God calls us His children, friends, and heirs to His Kingdom. We are not ants in God&#8217;s ant farm. On the contrary, He prizes us the most of all His creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+1%3A12&amp;version=NIV\">John 1:12<\/a><\/strong>, \"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become <strong>children of God<\/strong>.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+15%3A14&amp;version=NIV\">John 15:14<\/a><\/strong>, \"<strong>You are my friends<\/strong> if you do what I command you.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Galatians+4%3A7&amp;version=NIV\">Galatians 4:7<\/a><\/strong>, \"Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an <strong>heir<\/strong> through God.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So if all of this is true, then the most critical question becomes, &#8220;Why me?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+8%3A4-6&amp;version=ESV\"><strong>Psalm 8:4-6<\/strong><\/a>, \"What is man that you are mindful of him, and the Son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>God Chose Us<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Who is God that He should love me? Maybe you can grasp why the creator of the universe might love His creation. He may marvel at the beauty of His galaxies, solar systems, or planets. They are innate; they are under the control of His master plan. But man, why man, and of the eight billion on this earth, why me? Why choose any of us when we rebel against His authority? We can not bridge the divide between our sinful nature and God&#8217;s perfection. We cannot comprehend what it means to be God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">God condescends toward man. He brings Himself low to allow us to understand who He is. He shows Himself to be less than He is so we might understand Him more. As a result, we cannot truly grasp the complete character of God. He is greater than anything we imagine and simultaneously involved in the most minute aspect of our lives. He created us as unique individuals so He might choose us to proclaim His glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+15%3A16&amp;version=NIV\">John 15:16<\/a><\/strong>, \"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit\u2014fruit that will last\u2014and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>God is Love<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Romans+8%3A38-39&amp;version=NIV\">Romans 8:38-39<\/a><\/strong>, \"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">God is love; it is an innate aspect of His character. He is perfect love and altruistic in nature. His love for us endures through time because it can not change. Because of this great love, He sent His Son to die for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1+John+4%3A9-10&amp;version=NIV\">1 John 4:9-10<\/a><\/strong>, \"This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Who is God that He would love me? He is the only being in existence who can love you perfectly the way you are because He knows you intimately. God created you with the specific intent to have a loving relationship with Him. He will go to any extreme to show that love to you. He, and He alone, built the bridge for us to gain access to Him.
