In fact, the opposite is true, because man betrayed God through his choice to sin. God created man out of His own intense joy and contentment. The best example of this that I can think of is when a husband and wife love each other dearly and want to bring children into their life to share that joy. It was the same with God- a choice not born of need but of love.
I respectfully disagree. Well...while it is true that God is perfect, so are you because God cannot create a mistake, or that would make God imperfect. God does indeed have need of us...being his beloved. Man did not betray God but man is scared to death of the love of God. Man is running from God in every moment and the body is his mechanism to run, and death has become his god. This is why our ego seeks idols of pleasure to compensate for the false belief that we have betrayed God. Had we betrayed God and had He no need of us...why did Jesus come? To save the saved??? Those who believe that there are righteous and unrighteous people in this world believe God could leave a part of Himself behind and does not love a part of Himself. God has left noone behind. It is up to us to recognize his unconditional love for us. Peace, MH
