Evidence that God exists, that Christ is the
Son of God and that, along with the Holy Spirit, God encompasses
these three identities, appears in the Bible; in fact,
throughout the Bible. To know that the one God created the
universe forms the basis of faith, our foundation. We know God
created the world and everything in it, and see evidence of this every day
in its order and complexity and the way all things fit together
in an extraordinary planned sequence.
Each time dawn appears, the mystery is there in its
entirety.
—René Daumal (1903–1944)
This irrevocable order comes from the undisputable intelligence
that created it, ordered it, even maintains it, in spite of man’s
interference. Those who attempt to refute the existence of God, the
Creator, have to
believe in Him on some level in order to refute Him! We witness
the miracles in creation every day.
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for
God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from
the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that
they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they
glorified him not as God, neither were they thankful; but became
vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
(Romans 1:19–22)
Imagine the giant ego of man to think he can reason beyond God!
This arrogance is hubris, from the Greek word
meaning excessive pride, which becomes the downfall of the person
who possesses it. Literature is full of stories in which the hero
ultimately fails because success has gone to his head, and he loses
his true perspective and direction. “Who changed the truth of God
into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever.” (Romans 1:25) Those who assume
they know all the answers are victims of their own delusion.
Remember: God is the judge of man; not man the judge of God.
Christians are constantly challenged by those who believe in
evolution—the “accidental,” “scientific” process of change in the
universe and living things. We are charged by Christ to patiently
answer the naysayers, in the hope that the Holy Spirit uses our
answers in their conversion:
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to
give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear …”
(1 Peter 3:15)
For God is the ultimate intelligence, and we must accept that
there is no way we will understand and explain everything. Our
limitations as humans are too great. “God created man in his own
image.” (Genesis 1:26) Let us be reminded that an image is a
representation of a being or object. A picture of a person is NOT
the person himself. It is but a mere reflection. By believing that
the Bible is God’s Word, recorded in remarkable consistency by many
through the ages, we take God at His Word. Denying His Word reduces
that denial to absurdity.
Indeed, for the unbeliever, our faith is blind, but as the Bible
says in 2 Timothy 2:25, “… God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth …” They cannot see
truth until repentance. And 1 Cor 2:14 says: “But the natural man
receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are
spiritually discerned.”
We have our proof: IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND
THE EARTH. (Genesis 1:1)
Enough said!
Praise be to God (not man)!
