TOPIC: CREATION IS GODS WITNESS II
TEXT: ROMANS 1:20
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: KJV
The presence of God is fully seen in creation. His invisible nature is made to be interpreted by the visible elements. They are to speak just one message: That God exist, and He has a purpose for creation. With this, man has no excuse to forsake or overlook the essence of God.
Psalms 19:1-6 established the wisdom of God in creation. It started with the truth that the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows his handiwork. Each day spoke words that God is alive, and the sun communicates the omnipresence of God. Let's read verse 4b-6.
God has made a home in the heavens for the sun. It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race. The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat. NLT
Nothing can hide from the heat of the sun. It covers everywhere at once when it shines, everyone is under its rays. What a powerful God we have as our creator! Much more, He desires that man should not only know him as the creator but understand and know that He is good in his dealings and a Father who sees each one of us as his child.
Not every man has this understanding in them and not everyone is willing to accept that God isn't far from them. This distant knowledge and separation was caused by sin. God put on human flesh to express the depth of his longing towards men and to remove the reason for separation and distance in feeling. Jesus laid down his life and took it again, which established victory over sin, to bring all men into friendship and a Father - son relationship.
Now, you have the privilege to come to God not as a subject but a Son who has been far from his Father and is now called to receive his Father's love and acceptance again. In Jesus, you are reconciled to God. Pray with me
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, I believe that you died for my sins and was raised from the dead by the power of God for my justification. I confess you as my Lord and saviour; my sins are forgiven, and I receive the gift of eternal life. I am now a new creation in Christ Jesus and the love of God is in me. Amen
