  • The God of Logic

    In the realm of abstract and philosophical thought, there exists a fascinating concept—the God of Logic. If we search for God, we can find Him and know Him. The truth can be known. The truth is rational. The truth has a logic to it. This Logic of God can renew one’s mind in a very rational way, for there’s nothing as spiritual and supernatural as that. Paul said it this way; “be renewed in the spirit of your mind“.


    The idea of a God of Logic emerges from the deep-rooted human desire to comprehend the mysteries of existence through reason and rationality. It doesn’t belong to any particular religious tradition but rather exists as a philosophical concept, often associated with the pursuit of knowledge and truth. God is a God of Logic; so can be the pursuit of Him.



    Attributes of the God of Logic:

    1. Omniscience: In the realm of logic, this divine persona possesses boundless knowledge, encompassing the entire spectrum of human understanding. It is an embodiment of perfect knowledge, leaving no room for uncertainty or ambiguity.

    2. Impartiality: The God of Logic adheres strictly to the laws of reason, devoid of emotions or biases. It represents an unwavering commitment to impartiality, judgment based solely on rational principles.

    3. Order and Harmony: Logic inherently seeks order and consistency. Therefore, the God of Logic is often associated with maintaining the harmonious order of the universe, where everything follows a rational pattern.


    The Quest for Truth:

    Adherents see the pursuit of truth and understanding as a form of divine worship. Through reason and rationality, they seek to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, believing that in doing so, they come closer to understanding the divine logic that underlies all of existence. Logical reasoning leads one closer to God. It’s irrational, for instance, to doubt the existence of God when all logic proves it.



    Philosophical Implications:

    The concept of the God of Logic has profound philosophical implications. It raises questions about the relationship between reason and faith, the limits of human understanding, and the nature of truth. It challenges individuals to grapple with the interplay of logic and belief, inviting them to reconcile the rational with the mystical.

    The Quest for Balance:

    While the God of Logic emphasizes reason and rationality, it doesn’t necessarily exclude the realms of spirituality. For many, this concept represents a harmonious balance between faith and reason, acknowledging that both have a role to play in our understanding of the universe.


    God is a God of Order and Logic too. I don’t fear a logical non-spiritual person. I fear an irrational spiritual person. They pose more threat and are more susceptible to the deceptions of hell. I don’t know about you, but this is a thought-provoking concept that invites us to explore the profound interplay between reason and spirituality and our yearning for deeper understanding. As we contemplate this concept, we are reminded that the pursuit of knowledge, guided by reason, can be a form of spiritual enlightenment and a path toward a deeper connection with the God of the universe.

    This may shock the super-spiritual people but God can be found via the search for knowledge and truth. Seeking is an important part of the journey of knowing God. Reason and rationality are not the opposite of spiritual and supernatural. Until these two worlds come together in the Christian community, both are going to be deficient in the other. Selah!

    The Logic of God

    “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?”
    Matthew 6:30

    Jesus used the phrase “little faith” 6 times in the Gospels. The Greek word is oligopistia, which has such an interesting meaning.
    It actually means brief. “Oligos” is a Greek adverb that expresses a short duration, value or measure. If my fuel is “oligos”, it can’t take me a whole journey. It is the opposite of “tosoutos pistin”, often translated as great faith. So whenever Jesus said his disciples had little faith, He wasn’t just referring to the “quantity” of their faith. He was saying that their faith was brief.

    Many have stopped believing in God because to them they have tried but it didn’t work. Faith is not trying to see if it will work. Faith is seeing that it is working out. God never said we should say it once and then magic happens. In fact, Jesus said the opposite if you read your Bible more carefully. Faith is a persevering spirit. “And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off?”. Luke 18:7

    How do we have faith? The Bible says, “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God”. The word “by” means a channel of an act. This means it is by hearing the Word of God that we have faith and build faith. Having faith is as a result of the seed of God’s Word planted into our hearts. Faith (Greek: pistis) means “persuasion” in direct translation. This means God speaks words that persuades (convicts not convinces) us to take action.

    Why? Whenever we make a decision consciously or subconsciously, we base it on something. But God persuades us to base it on His Logic not on our sight (literally means perspective). The “Word” in Greek means Logos, which is where we get the word “logic” from. In the beginning was the Logos(logic), and the Logos(logic) was with God, and the Logos(logic) was God. This revelation is mind-changing; God’s Word is His Logic.

    God’s Logic or Word does not always make sense, not because it’s illogical, but because it is beyond the kind of logic we are accustomed to.

    One of the most famous Scriptures is Jeremiah 29:11, ” I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
    God through Jeremiah said this to the people who had been in exile for 20 years. They went on to live in exile for the next 30 years.

    God will never forsake you. He will never abandon you. He needs you to continue believing. God wants to hold on to His Word, His Logic, His Rhema in the midst of it all. He wants you to build your life on a solid foundation. That is why faith is essential and fundamental in the Kingdom lifestyle. I want you to now face life with Great FAITH.

    I love you ❤
