well it comes from the book you read or verses you heard, so it comes from the outside. Even if it was written by men, but those men were told what to write from the outside, God, but God being in every single of us, it's also from the inside...Which means he is outside and inside, he is all...being the first and the last, everything being his creation... Maybe we re just an illusion, a brain cell in someone's head, and he wants the (good) cells to replicate and live as long as possible so he can live longer. Funny the similarities between brain cells see thru a microscope and the universe seen from a telescope.
