Evidence of God

NATHAN A. TALBOT

Perhaps some people still feel sure that God is a kind of superbeing way off in heaven—wherever that may be. But many others are coming to see God as divine intelligence, omnipresent Spirit. John adds breadth to our concept of Spirit when he assures us, "God is love." I John 4:16;

You and I might feel certain that God is not a separate entity far away—a grand Potentate that may or may not intervene when we pray for help. But just such a misconception of God is deeply rooted in mankind's consciousness, and in practice we may sometimes let this perception of God color our view of Him. Don't we often use language and analogies that suggest God and man are separate—that God comes to man either through unexpected divine intervention or because man's plea is successful in drawing God's response?
