God's Special Creation

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)

Being the most special part of God’s creation gives us dignity.  How important is it to believe God created the earth?  In these modern times, this has become a subject of great debate amongst scholars and scientist.

Some say that there was a sudden explosion (Big Bang Theory) and the universe appeared.  Others say God started the process, and the universe evolved over billions of years.  Some say we are descendants of Apes.

Almost every ancient religion has its own story to explain how the earth came to be.  And almost every scientist has an opinion on the origin of the universe.  But only the Bible shows one supreme God creating the earth out of his great love and giving all people a special place in it.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. (Psalm 19:1)

God reveals himself through creation.  In this psalm, David’s meditation take him from creation, through God’s Word, through David’s own sinfulness, to salvation.

As God reveals himself through nature (19:1-6), we learn about his power and our smallness.  As God reveals himself through Scripture (19:7-11), we learn about his holiness and our sinfulness. As God reveals himself through daily experiences (19:12-14), we learn about his gracious forgiveness and our salvation.

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: (Romans 1:20)

Creation points to God’s existence and our responsibility to declare it to the world.  Does anyone have an excuse for not believing in God?  The Bible answers an major no.

God has revealed what he is like in his creation.  Every person, therefore, either accepts or rejects God.  There is no in-between.  Don’t be fooled. When the day comes for God to judge your response to him, there will be no excuses.  

We will never know all the answers to how God created the earth, but the Bible tells us that God did create it.  That fact alone gives worth and dignity to all of His created people.  Give your devotion and worship to him today.
