Glory and Love

Incomming.

Decided to finish this post today, while orginally I logged into to finish another, or should I say start another.

Either way, this was supposed to be in regard to two specific doctrines of Christianity. The doctrine of Trancendance and the doctrine of Immanence.

Lemme 'splain.

Transcendance is the belief that God, is infinitely unique in comparison to all creation. After all He is the Creator, we are the creations. It's a very logical doctrine if you think about it. The transcendant God, is God who is above His creation. Our God is unique; He is transcendant.

Immanence is the belief that although God is sovereign over His creation, He is so, in a way that He is involved in all creation. That involvement is so deep and complex, that only God can be involved in such a way. Again another logical doctrine, based on scripture, that I feel does a great job of describing God's brilliant involvement with His creation.

God is worthy of worship and praise because of His transcendance. He alone deserves the glory, for He is worthy.
God is worthy of our admiration and adoration because of His immanence. He deserves our love, for He is Love.
