The world tries very
hard to get us to believe that God did not create what is, that it all somehow
evolved and came into being by accident.
But, God did create it all. In
order to not believe in God as the Creator of all things one must deny that the
Biblical record is true. The proofs of
God creating all that is are self-evident for those who have eyes to see
them. Not only did He create all things,
God put everything in its place and told them to stay there. Nothing is out of order in creation. Everything can be counted on to be exactly
where it’s supposed to be; in fact, our very existence depends on it.
Man is constantly
trying to find other places in the universe that can sustain life as we know
it, but to no avail. God made the world
we live in to be habitable. Everything
that makes up our world runs smoothly because God designed it and set it in
motion. Life is sustainable on earth
because every part of it is mysteriously intertwined and dependent. There is nothing on earth that is not
important for the sustainability of life.
We don’t know how everything perfectly fits together, but God does. The more we discover about the mechanisms of
life, the more in awe we become of what God has done.
The darkened soul fails
to see and appreciate the hand of God in creation and life. He is not capable of putting God into the mix
and worshiping Him. Instead, because
nothing makes sense to him, he does his best to deny the very God who created
him. Sin prevents God from shining
in. Many set out to prove that God is
not and life has no purpose other than the moments we are in. Without the Lord, there is no hope of
understanding the world we live in and our place in the universe. All understanding of God begins at Calvary.
Jesus removes the
darkness of the soul that sin causes. He
opens up the eyes so that we can see God.
In Christ we are able to grasp that God is and there is none beside Him. In Christ, God becomes real and
personal. We discover that God is more
than an explanation for life, He is life itself. God becomes one whom we can have a
relationship with and not just an entity that exists apart from human
experience. In Christ everything comes
together and begins to make perfect sense.
We discover that it is okay to not have a reasonable explanation for
everything, that what we don’t get we can accept as truth by faith because God
is and has declared it to be so.
If you don’t know
that God is and that He is yours, there may never be another chance for you to
get to know Him than right now. By
faith, reach out to Him and He will take your hand. Admit your sins, accept responsibility for
them, confess them, ask the Lord to forgive you, and He will. You can know God is from personal experience right
now. Don’t put it off. You may never be given another opportunity to
do so.
