The God of Power is another primitive approach to God, but one that at least leads to a moral life. He is almighty and sovereign; he establishes the Law of Right and Wrong and judges everyone by it. There is a simple cause and effect relationship: good leads to reward, bad leads to punishment. With this view of God, we live “good” lives to get what we want. However, this leads to guilt as egocentric desires conflict with the real purpose of God’s Law. When our perceived goodness isn’t rewarded or when evil isn’t punished, we question God’s justice and/or his power to act. When we view God like this, we are quick to point out our own morality at the same time thinking we deserve good things like wealth, influence, and power. While God is the Lawgiver, the purpose behind it isn’t to provide a set of rules we have to follow to get what we want, because our desires often conflict with other’s desires. God’s Law should act as a guideline for love which ultimately involves self-sacrifice.
