God
is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
(John 4:24)
God is
spirit. He isn’t a physical being, though He can take a physical form. One of
the things that this means is that He is not subject to physical laws. He can
not be scientifically observed or proved because “science” is obsessed with what
can be measured and controlled. In other words, science is obsessed with the
material or physical.
Once
again, love is equally spiritual. Some scientists would like to claim that love
is nothing but chemical and electrical interactions within the brain. I suspect
that’s like saying that when it gets light out, then the sun comes up. The actuality
is that it becomes light because the sun comes up. Love is the cause, rather
than the effect of the chemical and electrical interactions. Others claim that
it is nothing more than the influence of a selfish gene seeking to ensure its
replication. Anything more is self-delusion, they say. Of course, none of them,
making the profession of having bio-chemical responses to a genetic imperative,
is likely to impress a suitable mate. It also doesn’t explain the love response
involved in risking one’s life to save a stranger, or a dog or cat from a fire,
except to say that the selfish gene is stupid and can’t tell the difference
between protecting its replication and protecting just about anything else.
Because God is a spiritual being, and because love is as well, neither is visible. We cannot see neither God nor love. Instead, we can observe the effect that God and love have in the universe.
