Deep Dive 1st Edition
by Donovan Joynt
This here is the simplest form recap of the concept in summary:- God being Love, absolutely required that the gift of life be shared, but then because love and individuality requires perfect freedom in order to exist, it poses a terrible problem, that if freedom is permitted, a rebellion would most certainly always arise at some point, freedom will require that. When it does, it brings suffering and death into the world. The reason that God would even permit such a rebellion and all that comes with it, would need to be unequivocal, a perfect solution and that would be an absolute requirement, and it would then always be down to how a God that calls himself perfect love, then deals with this rebellion, and the issue it presents will be of supreme importance.
I suggest that it is very demonstrable and easily articulated but broad and deep at the same time, simple and recognisable concepts woven together in a heavenly quilt with a golden thread of love. Through actual reason-able demonstration God can be seen as being perfectly just in the plan that is executed, that brought us to this terrible point, but which purpose is perfect in healing all the damage done, to secure his perfect gift to us for the eternal loving and adventurous life he fully intended for us to possess to begin with.
I simply aim to be an honest and fierce defender and friend of God in the face of his lying enemy. That is my primary aim in life.
I am simply an admirer in awe of God and the beautiful plan of salvation He has woven through Scripture. My calling as a Christian author is not to elevate myself, but to help others see the golden thread of His love, truth, freedom, and justice—a thread that ties together the patterns of His Word and reveals His true character. God has given me a deep passion for discerning the designs and metaphors within Scripture, and for showing how they speak to the reality He created, a reality we were meant to reason within. My joy is to lift Him up in a way that makes Him real, not distant or mystical, but the living God who longs to be understood and known. If my name is forgotten so that His may be exalted, I count it gain. He is everything; I am nothing, except one who has tasted His goodness and glimpsed the perfect harmony of His plan. Though I am far from perfect, I delight all the more in pointing to the One who is. God has endowed us all with with talents, what talent I do have I wish to lay at his feet as a living sacrifice. I would like to return my talents to him with interest.
