The Creation and Creator



Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

I recently read that the universe, our galaxy, our Solar System and the Earth-Moon double planet system demonstrate some remarkable evidence of intelligent design. Taken separately, each characteristic is highly improbable by random chance. When taken together, the probability is so small as to be impossible - by random chance. The alternative explanation, design by an intelligent Creator is a more realistic explanation. Either way, one must admit that we are a product of a miracle - a miracle of design. 

Job 38:4-6 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone?

Nobody was here to see the beginning. Man wasn’t in the picture until the sixth day. Moses recorded God’s account which all data and evidence substantiates that the Earth was designed for life. It seems very unlikely that stable planetary systems, in which a small earth-like planet resides in the habitable zone, exist in any other galaxy in our universe. This does not even consider the other design parameters that are required for life to exist anywhere in the universe. Just watch the DVD’s “The Privileged Planet” or “The case for a Creator” or :Unlocking the Mystery of Life” sometime. Click this weblink and watch: http://vimeo.com/52726150 

So, with this physical knowledge, why do people ignore the true facts and passionately strive to prove the non-existence of God, the creation of the Universe and the origin of life?  Why do they aggressively indoctrinate the public with other tangible religions of naturalism and the theory of evolution? Why believe the lie and reject the Truth? Sin and the love of it, plus the hatred of their Sovereign Maker, who they sin against and are accountable to. It’s not scientific; since you cannot have it both ways, one has to go. But there are consequences for our corruption, rebellion and rejection.

Romans 1:18-23For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.  Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man.” But our Creator Lord God created a recue path to forgiveness, reconciliation and restoration to relationship by His mercy and grace.

John 1:11-13 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 3:16-19 explains: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

The love of God has provided this age of grace that, by seeking and knowing God, we may see and realize our sin for what it is, then turn from our wicked ways and repent to accept the free gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ, our Savior, and follow the Lord. 1 John 1:8-9If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” The God of the Universe is inviting us to life, abundant life and eternal life. Nothing on Earth can substitute that deal. Know God and make Him known today.


In Christ, Brian

Hi Brian,
Before I became a Christian, I did my best at trying find some other truth. I knew one day I would be accountable to God and I did not like it. I did not want to surrender my life to Jesus, so I tried to create a false god in my mind. But that did not work. Thankfully Jesus got a hold of me, convicted me and brought me to the truth. I believe our pride, love of sin and not wanting to answer to God is the reasons people fight so hard to prove God does not exist and put their faith in junk like evolution.
God bless,
Ken

Thanks Ken, You bring up a great point about the common search that many employ once they see, understand and know the Law of God and their accountability to their sovereign and Almighty Creator God and reject it and Him in our pride, love of sin and not wanting to answer to Him and His Judgement thereof. There is also those who seek other truth because they do not see, understand or know God, therefore, we take the whole Word of God to the whole world (bringing Truth into the darkness of lies and unbelief) that whomsoever has ear to hear may come to a "saving" knowledge of their Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for bringing out this important point.
