I think God needs us too.

I take issue with the fact that Christians says that God has no particular need for humans. This is the same atheist dilemma that a lifeless universe can birth humans. It seems it is necessary to many Christians to divorce the Father from emotions and that God is immune to passion but I find that the case could be from the various scriptural references to God exhibiting mercy and repenting and even anger that because he is the primal being it could be that he does experience emotions but in him they are maximally and eternally sated. Which is why it is said the Lamb of God was slain from the foundation of the world. Not just the event at Golgotha temporally.

I think if we can show that God does have a need for us intrinsically and his creative need also reversely depends on our existence it could help show the truth of universalism and complete salvation. Any thoughts?
