God’s glory is our ultimate purpose
Electricity has been possible since the beginning of creation but humans didn’t ‘discover’ and ‘harness’ it’s power for some 6,000 years.
That’s kind of how non-believers are until they see the light, get saved, and are born again.
If you haven’t yet, take a close look and study this meme I created above and read the verse selected from Hebrews 6:1.
Of course there is no man made analogy that can fully encompass God. With that said, God created everything including electricity. By studying His creation, we can know a bit more about the Creator.
Electrical Analogy
God the Father = Power Plant – where everything is generated from. He is the genesis of the power. The engine that drives it all. The mighty source of everything in the universe.
God the Son = Electricity – what the Father produces radiates from, through and to us from Jesus Christ; His one and only Son. As there is one sun that shines upon the earth, there is one Son of God whom God the Father was pleased empower. Christ is the amps, volts and energy of electricity ⚡️.
God the Spirit = Conductor – the Spirit of God is what connects us to Christ by which we may know and experience the Father. As with electricity, the bigger and stronger the conductor, the more power that can flow. The Spirit manages the flow of power so that we don’t get blow up like how transformers work.
Believers = Connected Devices (Motors, Machines and Lights) – We people were designed for good works. God wants His creation to drive, engage and illuminate. We need to be charged and recharged by God. The greater our capacity the more glory potential for God’s sake. When we are well connected to God, not only are we empowered and enlightened, we understand and are utilized for a greater effect. As the Spirit guides us and enables, it as if we are cell phones fully charged and connected to the internet.
Non-believers = Disconnected Devices – Those who were created in God’s image but are not endowed by the Holy Spirit are like IoT device which are simply running on their native firmware, battery powered exclusively, disconnected from the World Wide Web AKA God.
God’s Glory = Results and Output Produced – Good works unto Jesus are the ultimate goodness produced. When the loop is closed and God is glorified then God is pleased. Works apart from this aren’t unnoticed or unappreciated but fall short.
As believers with saved souls, we each have a certain capacity to illuminate God’s glory. Like how different light bulbs have different wattage ratings.
Going with this analogy:
As we grow closer to God, as we are obedient, trust and act upon His will and His word, we grow in capacity and power. This is the process of sanctification. As we abide, we are energized. The better we connect, the bigger we glorify God.
Jesus is everything to us
