Why...
Who is God?
God is love.
"He that
loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
1 John 4:8
God is light.
"This then is the
message
which we have heard of Him,
and declare unto you,
that
God is Light, and in Him
is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5
What does God expect from me?
To do good.
"He hath showed thee, O man, what is good: and
what doth
the Lord require of thee, but
to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?"
Micah 6:8
When was God created?
God is. He has always been.
"In the beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth."
Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything
made that was made." John 1:1-3
Before Him there was no other.
That is far enough back for me to concede He is the first, owns the
copyright, holds the oldest title. Want to know what thrills me the
most? He is the
same yesterday, and today,
and forever. Hebrews 13:8
Hallelujah! Our God reigns.
Where is God?
Everywhere. He is omnipresent.
"Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him?
saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord." Jeremiah 23:23, 24
How can I know God?
By keeping
His commandments
"And hereby we
do know that
we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that sayeth, I know Him,
and keepeth not His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in Him."
1 John 2:3-4
Why...
Because He
loves us
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us,
and sent His Son to be
the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another." 1 John 4:10,11
Because
He first loved us.
The list of why's you might ask are endless:
Why did God create man?
Why did God allow sin to enter the world?
Why does God let people go to hell?
Why did God send His only Son Jesus to pay the penalty for our sin so we could go to Heaven?
Why does God let children get sick?
Why does God let people lose their jobs?
Why does God allow people to be victimized?
Why does God allow disease?
Why does God allow hearts to hurt?
Why does God allow pain?
Why does God allow loss?
Why does God let mean and unjust men rule to and fro in the earth?
Why does God let bad things happen to good people?
Why does God let satan tempt people to sin?

Have you ever asked any of these questions?
I have.
At the top of this article, I issued a disclaimer that these answers were just from personal study and should not be looked upon as infallible. This question is an exception. Consider the answer to this question the grounding belief of my faith and personal relationship with God.
On this one question, I stand on the Truth of God's Word with a confidence that will not waiver because God leaves no room for error.
I ask the question again, Why...?
Because God loves us.
Because God is Love.
God always does the most loving thing for us. There is no darkness in Him. God does not love when loving is easy and stop when it gets tough. God does not love when He feels like it and walk away when He does not. God does not love when there is an ulterior motive and quit when it does not work out the way He plans.
God is Love.
I can not explain it.
No one but God can fully understand the measure of it.
It is supernatural.
It is God.
It is divine, never failing, unending Love.
God is Love.
Why...?
Because He loves us
