THE WORD OF GOD IS HEARD THROUGH THE CREATION LANGUAGE

THE WORD OF GOD

“… He (Jesus) had a name written, that no man knew … his name is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).

*

 “…The heavens are telling the glory of God; they are a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT). Some of the visual manifestations of God are the heavens and they SPEAK.  All of creation, in fact, speak about God; his goodness, his wisdom, and his power.

King David, the psalmist, says the heavens SPEAK and TELL of God’s glory through the WORKS of creation. The heavens TELL, without a single written or human word, that God is infinitely GREAT, good, and powerful. The heavens SPEAK through the spacious sky, the sparkling stars or vast astronomy, the various planets, the sun, and the moon. “…The heavens are … a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT).

The heavenly displays are DECLARING , PREACHING, TELLING that God exists. “…The heavens are telling the glory of God.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT).

Creation is a LANGUAGE that speaks to all nations and tongues. “…The heavens are telling …[and]… are a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT). “… Day unto day [they] uttereth speech, and …  sheweth knowledge…” (Psalms 19:2-3 KJV).

The CREATION is a LANGUAGE written by the WORKS of the Holy Spirit and it SPEAKS knowledge, nonstop, without a single human word. “… Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge…” (Psalms 19:2-3 KJV).

It can be read and understood without skills in any particular spoken or written language by humans. “…There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard…” (Psalms 19:2-3 KJV).

The Creation language is always speaking through its glorious heaven, its magnificent earth, its perpetual fruitfulness, its nourishing vegetation, its common and rare animals, its manifold benefits, and its sustaining operations.

“…The sun lives in the heavens where God placed it and moves out across the skies as radiant as a bridegroom going to his wedding, or as joyous as an athlete looking forward to a race!  The sun crosses the heavens from end to end, and nothing can hide from its heat…” (Psalms 19:4-6 NLT).

The author of the creation language is God and he SPEAKS through every WORK that can be SEEN by what has been MADE. “…Since the CREATION of the world God’s INVISIBLE QUALITIES … have been “CLEARLY SEEN”, being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV). “…Then God SAID, “Let there be light”; AND THERE WAS LIGHT…” (Genesis 1:3 NASB).

As CREATOR, God is discovered through the revelation knowledge of a LANGUAGE spoken by his creative WORKS.

This creative language is ALSO called the WORD OF GOD.  “…BY THE WORD of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).

The WORD of GOD is PROOF that creation did not happen by chance or a big bang, but was MADE or came into existence by a UNIQUE POWER; God himself!! “…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth …” (Genesis 1:1, 31 KJV).

“… BY FAITH (by depending upon God) we understand that THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at God’s command (WORD), that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen…” (Hebrews 11 NLT).

      The CREATION is a LANGUAGE spoken by the WORKS of the Holy Spirit. The CREATION language SPEAKS knowledge. However, the WORKS of the Holy Spirit came into existence, FIRST, through the WORD OF GOD, which is the knowledge. “…In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB). “…BY THE WORD of the Lord the heavens were made…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).

The CREATION is a LANGUAGE spoken by the WORKS of the Holy Spirit and it SPEAKS knowledge.

God’s WORKS speak, which means what God does or his actions speak for him. When God’s WORKS speak it REVEALS who he is.

Thus, God’s “HOLY” NATURE is also revealed through HIS “GLORIOUS” WORKS. “…God’s … DIVINE NATURE …[is]…“CLEARLY SEEN” … FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV).

God’s glorious WORKS speak of his glorious NATURE.  “… “I AM WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…The invisible [GOD]…from the creation of the world is …clearly seen, being understood by the things that are MADE …” (Romans 1:20 KJV). “ ... All things came into being (was created) through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being (was created) that has come into being…” (John 1:3 NASB).  “… I am He...'" (Isaiah 41:4 NASB). “… I am the first and I am the last…” (Isaiah 44:6 NASB). "… I am the Alpha and the Omega," …" (Revelation 1:8 NASB).

God’s glorious NATURE is “clearly” revealed throughout creation because it is filled with his glorious WORKS.  “…the earth is filled with the LORD's GLORY (his divine nature; his powerful works)…” (Number 14:21 NLT). “… “I AM WHO I AM … who is … who was and who is to come, the Almighty (the holy nature; the holy power)…" (Exodus 3:14-15 & Revelation 1:8 NASB).

God’s glorious nature and works, in the world, is HOW GOD makes himself KNOWN to mankind. “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (holy nature, holy works)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…the earth is filled with the LORD's GLORY (holy nature; holy works)…” (Number 14:21 NLT).

God’s holy works say “I exist” or I am real.  His HOLY NATURE is realized through the CREATION language. “…Since the CREATION of the world God’s INVISIBLE QUALITIES—… HIS DIVINE NATURE—have been “CLEARLY SEEN”…” (Romans 1:20 NIV).

“…HIS DIVINE NATURE—have been “CLEARLY SEEN”, being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV). “…God who created all things…” (Ephesians 3:3-4, 9 NASB). “… there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things …” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB).“..Worthy art Thou, our Lord and God … for Thou didst create all things…” (Revelation 4:11 NASB).

God is love. Love introduces himself through the language of CREATION.  CREATION says God is POWERFUL, MAJESTIC, GOOD, LOVING, SOVEREIGN, a PROVIDER, A GUIDE, and is DEPENDABLE. . “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (holy nature, holy works)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…the earth is filled with the LORD's GLORY (holy nature; holy works)…” (Number 14:21 NLT).

From the very beginning the CREATION language was the WORD of God speaking through the WORK of the Holy Spirit. “…In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB).

The CREATION language or the Word of God is a HOLY, SPIRITUAL, and LIVING message, which reveals God’s nature and power.

For example look at his nature and power in the CREATION language: “….Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters…[In the beginning was the WORD. Therefore,] God said (SPOKE), “Let there be light,” and there was light (the Holy Spirit CREATED)….God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” ^…God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” …God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. …God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness.  …God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”  …God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.  …God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. ^…God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds…” (Genesis 1 KJV).

“…the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN…” (Romans 1:20 KJV).

“… HE Himself GIVES to all people LIFE and BREATH and all things…” (Acts 17:25 NASB). 
“…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth …” (Genesis 1:1, 31 KJV).

“…BY THE WORD of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).

The CREATION language continues to SPEAK through the WORKS of the Holy Spirit. AND the Holy Spirit continues to DO whatever the Word of God instructs by bringing THINGS into existence or creation.

“…BY THE WORD of the Lord … All things came into being … and apart from [the WORD] nothing came into being that has come into being … ” (Psalms 33:6 NASB & John 1:1-4 NASB).

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE SOURCE OF IT ALL!
