17:13

Our God is the God of cause and effect.

Here is an example where the cause given came in the form of a command.

In 2 Kings 5 we read of a man named Naaman.

Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram, and had leprosy.

And one day the servant of Naaman’s wife who was an Israelite blessed Naaman saying, to go see the prophet in Samaria! With the effect that he would get cured of his leprosy.

And keeping faith (in what they said) he journeyed to Samaria.

Therefore in Naaman's first step of faith he succeeded.

The Prophet in those days was the Prophet Elisha.

However when Naaman came to the Prophet's house the Prophet sent out his messenger.

Therefore since Naaman did not literally "see the Prophet", the 'cause' within the blessing coming from Naaman's wife's servant could give no effect.

In this Naaman was angry.

saying

I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy.

However the Prophet did give his blessing by creating a new cause.

When he sent out his servant, he had the servant say "Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed."

And Naaman not understanding the cause and effect ways of our God said this:

Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?

And he said this because he was an idolater, thinking the quality of the water had anything to do with God's power.

Lucky for him he had servants of great faith, and did talk him into doing this, and he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him.

Then God gave him the effect of the blessing, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.

And afterward he stood in front of the man of God, giving thanks and praising God.

And since he literally "saw the Prophet", the 'cause' within the blessing coming from Naaman's wife's servant confirmed in effect.

Therefore we can see clearly that because of Naaman's faith in what he heard, and since he activated the blessings with the works of faith by doing the cause, he received the effect of the blessing.

18:11

Understanding this cause and effect nature of God is very important if wanting to understand reasons why God does what he does.

And the main reason is truth.

For our God makes the truth true, and is indeed the God of truth.

Again in the positive note, let us mention the woman with the blood disorder.

Who thought within herself "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed." (ref: Matthew 9:21)

The cause was touch his cloak, the effect was getting healed.

In faith she activated the cause when she touched his cloak, then God gave the effect and healed her.

And Jesus responded to her, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” (ref: Matthew 9:22)
