ELTB TT Introduction
God wants everyone to know him. But we cannot see or hear him.[1] God had a problem. How can he make himself known?
Since we are in him [], we are like fish swimming in the stream.[] We do what we want, and think we are in control. God is like the stream. He nudges us where he wills.
How would he make himself known to us? He cause d the fish to write a book about fish history. This is the Bible that everyone reads. But he also nudged them
He nudges us in patterns. If you hear a single knock on the door, you might not notice it. If you did hear it, you might think it was a random noise. To get your attention, I would knock more than once. Perhaps I would knock in a recognizable pattern.
God gets our attention by repeating the same teaching in different ways. We recognize him from the patterns he gave us. What patterns did got make using the account of the tree?
1. Joh 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
