GOD
God , what or who is this being you might ask your self. Is he or it real ?. Does he really exist you might ask your self . Well according to the Merriam Webster dictionary
the word GOD means:
the supreme or ultimate reality: as a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe..
Wow I wonder if Webster believes in God . First of if there is a meaning for such a word GOD then it must exist. That we came from this big bang we have been taught in our school system . Just this month we celebrated the 4th of July . One of my favorite holidays may I add . I believe it must have been exciting the day these 3 man decided to write the declaration of independence . I guess you are wondering why do I bring this up. Well the reason being is that in the declaration of independence we find certain interesting quotes John Hancock wrote on that day .
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —
From the beginning of time we have known of the existence of a Creator indeed there is a God .Not only do we need to have complete faith in spirit but we must also have complete confidence in our approach to all we do for all we do we are capable of doing through Him .
There is a great story in the bible of when Jesus is crucified and he appears to a few of his disciples and they in turn tell Thomas about having seen Jesus . But Thomas says to them unless I see him unless I feel the holes in his hands I will not believe . Jesus appears to Thomas and says to him these words .
John 20:29
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
These words are also for you Friend who is reading this at this moment . We are so blessed to have not seen our Creator yet we believe .
Genesis 1: 1-2
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Just like in the big bang THEORY it all started with Formless empty masses I can imagine that . One thing that scientist have mentioned in many documentaries I have seen is that our earth in being maintained by a powerful and unexplainable higher power. The fine tuning of our cosmos is amazing and inexplicable in the scientist point of view . Consider for instance the precise setting of four fundamental physical forces: electromagnetism , gravity, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force . These forces affect every object in the universe . They are set and balanced so precisely that even slight changes can render the universe lifeless.
Long before Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity, the Bible referred to such fixed rules or laws. JOB was asked in JOB 38:33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?
JOB 38:4-5
“ 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?
I’m not a science expert . I won’t pretend to be one but I know the basics of it . Like that Oxygen atoms make up 63 percent of the weight of living organisms on earth. Another ideal feature is the shape of earth's orbit. If the orbit were more elliptic, we would suffer unbearable extremes of temperature. Instead, the earth has a nearly circular orbit. Of course, the situation would change if a giant planet like Jupiter were to pass nearby. In recent years scientists have uncovered evidence that some stars have large Jupiter like planets orbiting very close to them. Many of these Jupiter like planets have eccentric orbits. Any earthlike planets in such systems would be in trouble.
In his book A Guided Tour of the Living Cell, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Christian de Duve admits:
"If you equate the probability of the birth of a bacterial cell to that of the chance assembly of its component atoms, even eternity will not suffice to produce one for you."
Wow was that a scientist admitting to the wonders of the Lord ?. I believe so .Scientists have described the human brain as the most complicated physical structure in this universe. How could it have developed by chance ?. It certainly has not been .
Jeremiah 51:15
He has made the earth by His power;
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And stretched out the heaven by His understanding.
John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God “
Remember the beginning of things ?. Well it was God who was with Christ who was his Son the Word . It is very simple . John 3:16 16 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.
Having said that we go into the purpose of God creating us . It is a simple a reason to be fruitful and be happy together . Making it easier for you to understand I say to you that the Gospel is all about LOVE and compassion for others . Mark 12:31 Love your neighbor as you would love yourself
John 15:5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Jesus spoke in parables most of the time so that it would be easier for the people to understand him. He is our Vine we are the branches we should remain close to him so that we can grow fruit that is firm and peachy . Meaning if we are close to him we will have a good life .
John 3:3
In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.[a]"
Born again?. Yes meaning we will learn the truth and the truth will set us free . How you might ask . In a way that is unbelievable . When you allow our Lord to come into your heart and make you a new person . How you might ask again . A new person in him I mean , Like you will now respect the meaning of Love your neighbor as yourself .
Love that is all the Word teaches :
The Word of God is an ever - present reality to me. I rest assured goodness and joy are with me through every day of life. I share of my truth with everyone I touch in a way , and I am ever replenished in love .Because Christ Lives in me now.
God Bless You
