THE MIRACLE OF GOD'S CREATION

                                     

THE MIRACLE OF CREATION

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

“…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).

 “…Since the CREATION of the world God’s INVISIBLE QUALITIES—HIS ETERNAL POWER AND DIVINE NATURE—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).

.“…The person WITHOUT the Spirit DOES NOT accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. …” (2 Corinthians 2:12-15 KJV). . “…The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so…” (Romans 8:7 NIV).

 In addition, “….Apart from Me (the indwelling Holy Spirit), you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son (The WORD) “INTO” OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…God has given [you] his [Holy] Spirit as PROOF that [you]… live (are alive) in him and he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT).

The bible, no matter the language, is a holy and spiritual, LIVING message God’s people depend upon to guide them, hear from God, learn about his holy nature, and SEE him in creation.

For example: “….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. …God (commander, the Father) said (speaker, the Son), “Let there be light,” and there was light (doer, the Holy Spirit)….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).

God miraculously created ALL things to reproduce after its own kind. Any changes from an animal or plants original “kind” is due to reproducing with another animal or plant “NOT” of its kind.

These changes are “still” within the original, biblical creation information of kinds and reproduction, however, it is now marred and affected with sin.

Evolutionists presume their subjective opinions about these changes, based on the SAME evidence as creationists, but with scientific interpretations; not spiritual interpretations are superior.

Agree or not, evolution is based on evidence from God’s created world and presumes a biblical worldview cannot glean or does not glean adequate information from the SAME evidence.

Evolutionists ASSUME that their scientific perceptions of God’s created world is correct, but don’t realize their methods are “still” limited to mankind’s subjective interpretation of those findings.

All evolution methods are limited by man’s subjective interpretation, of their findings which makes it difficult, for them, to determine whether they support a young or old world.

Evolutionists often claim that they have found things dated back billions of years, but when asked how they have interpreted their assumptions many admit they can’t concretely prove whether their subjective findings support a young or old world.

The findings of evolutionists oscillate and are constantly changing how they are subjectively interpreting things ALL the time.

New interpretations and findings make the old ones flawed and obsolete. Are all their interpretations flawed? Is it really poor and limited science?

Evolutionists and creationists are humans who subjectively interpret facts from God’s created world and assume their views are correct.

The miracle of creation is UNDERSTOOD by faith, not merely subjective interpretations. “… BY FAITH (by depending upon God) we understand that THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.” (Hebrews 11 NLT).

The debate between evolutionists and creationists can go on and on, but they will continue to rest on mankind’s fallible presumptions about the interpretation of facts. 

When a person’s interpretation of facts REST on God’s infallible WORD, by faith, they can be empowered, with the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit, to understand the miracle of creation, by depending upon God TRUTH. .“…The person WITHOUT the Spirit DOES NOT accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. …” (2 Corinthians 2:12-15 KJV). . “…The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so…” (Romans 8:7 NIV).

The MIRACLE of CREATION is founded upon the TRUTH of the WORD and understood by depending upon that truth. “… BY FAITH we understand that THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at God’s command...” (Hebrews 11 NLT). “…BY THE WORD of the Lord the heavens were made…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).

When the MIRACLE of CREATION is based upon the TRUTH of God’s WORD and understood by faith there is NO need to debate.

God CLEARLY reveals he is the TRUE Creator of the universe from the beginning. “…Since the CREATION of the world God’s INVISIBLE QUALITIES—HIS ETERNAL POWER AND DIVINE NATURE—have been “CLEARLY SEEN”, being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV).

How is the MIRACLE of CREATION clearly SEEN? Look at the reliable sky, the rising sun, the nightly moon, the multitude of stars, DNA, the love hormone, oxytocin, or the way the body heals itself. “…FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV).

Some folks would whether call creation “intelligent design” than admit there “IS” a God of Creation.

Evolutionists call their facts science and the Creationists call their facts religion, but the WORD of God calls the fact of creation…. TRUTH.

Much of human facts, about creation, simple BLIND people or SUPPRESS the TRUTH that is right in front of their eyes. “… God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness…” (Romans 1:18 NLT). “…the CREATION of the world … [is] “CLEARLY SEEN”, being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV).

Why is the MIRACLE of CREATION important to God’s people? Basically creation tells, his people, or reveals to them that GOD EXISTS. “…I am (or I exist as) the Lord, the God of all flesh…” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). "… I am (or I exist as) the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God…" (Revelation 1:8 NASB). “… I (exist as), the LORD … (I am or exist as) the first, and with the last. I am (or I exist as) He...'" (Isaiah 41:4 NASB).

God’s name is “I AM.” “I AM” tells his people that GOD “does” exists. In fact, God is the sufficient and objective existence from which ALL other existence flow. "… I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty…" (Revelation 1:8 NASB).

“… I, the LORD, am the first, and with the last. I am He...'" (Isaiah 41:4 NASB). “… I am the first and I am the last,  And there is no God besides Me…” (Isaiah 44:6 NASB). “… Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come…” (Revelation 4:8 KJV).   

Not only does GOD exists, but he exist through the CLEAR expression and revelation of his holy nature and miracle-working power seen THROUGH creation.  “… “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 (existence) through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being (existence) 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).

He demonstrates what existence means by REVEALING himself through all of creation, as the ULTIMATE Spiritual BEING. “… I am He...'" (Isaiah 41:4 NASB). “… “I AM WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “… “This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).

God created the condition or reality of existence. “… All things came into being (existence) through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being (existence) that has come into being (existence)…” (John 1:3 NASB).  “… there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him…” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB). “… “I AM WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). Existence BEGINS with God.

There is NO existence outside of God’s existence. There is NONE like HIM!!! “… “I AM WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB)."… who is  (who exists)… who was (who has existed) and who is to come (who continues to exist in the future for “all” eternity), the Almighty … [God] …" (Revelation 1:8 NASB).“…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). “… Blessed be the LORD God…” (Psalm 72:18 KJV). “…O LORD my God, You are very GREAT…”(Psalm 104:1-2 NASB).

“…GOD “IS” SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). God EXISTS as Spirit. “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).

God EXISTS perpetually and eternally. “…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV).

God is the ULTIMATE Spiritual being or existence. “…GOD “IS” SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “… I am (“ I exist as”) God, and there is none else… I am (“I exist as”) God, and there is none like me…" (Isaiah 46:9-10 KJV).  “… there is NONE like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). “… “I AM (“I exist as”) WHO I AM (“who I exist as”)…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).

God exists and his existence is REALIZED “clearly” through creation.  “…the earth is filled with the LORD's GLORY (existence; presence)…” (Number 14:21 NLT). “…My Presence will go with you…” (Exodus 33:14 NIV).

God’s creative existence and presence is EVERYWHERE! It is among us, within us, around us, and through us. “… “I AM WHO I AM … who is … who was and who is to come, the Almighty (existence)…" (Exodus 3:14-15 & Revelation 1:8 NASB).

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

God’s presence says  “I exist” or I am real.  His existence is realized through the MIRACLE of CREATION. “…God who created all things…” (Ephesians 3:3-4, 9 NASB). “… there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him…” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB).

“..Worthy art Thou, our Lord and God … for Thou didst create all things, and because of Thy will they existed and were created…” (Revelation 4:11 NASB).

“…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth …  And the Spirit of God (or existence of God) MOVED upon the face of the waters…” (Genesis 1:1-3 KJV).

God “IS” the BEGINNING OF objective, sufficient, and definitive, creative EXISTENCE.  “… “I AM (the ultimate, creative existence) WHO I AM (the ultimate presence)…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). Therefore, “… I am (“I exist as”) God, and there is none else … and there is none like me…" (Isaiah 46:9-10 KJV).

Because God exist; YOU exist. HE is the ULTIMATE creative existence who created you ON PURPOSE and bought YOU into existence. “…we exist through Him…” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB). “… Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?  If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night, “Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul (my existence) knows it very well …” (Psalms 139: 7:14 NASB).

By the GRACE of God I exist and you exist. By God’s GRACE I am present in this life, and you are present in this life. “…by the GRACE of God I AM (we are) what I AM (we are)…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).

Because God exists and is present, so is all of mankind who is physically ALIVE on earth and those who are spiritually ALIVE on earth and in heaven. “…we exist through Him…” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB). “…by the GRACE of God I AM (we are) what I AM (we are)…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).

God is the FULL and COMPLETE example and expression of TRUE creative existence. “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…we exist through Him…” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB).

ALL of creation have their existence THROUGH the God of Creation! “… In Him we live and move and exist…” (Acts 17:28 NASB). “… in him we live, and move, and have our being…” (Acts 17:28 KJV).

“… HE Himself GIVES to all people LIFE and BREATH and all things…” (Acts 17:25 NASB).  “…I charge you in the presence of God, who GIVES LIFE to all things…” (1 Timothy 6:13 NASB).

God existed FIRST and THEN created the existence of the world and mankind. “…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…And the LORD God …breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul…” (GENESIS 2:7 KJV). “…I AM what I AM …” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).

All of creation exists because of the God of Creation. All of mankind EXISTS because of the God of Creation. You and I EXIST because of the God of Creation. “… In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. Then God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them”; and it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a third day. Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.” God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind”; and it was so. God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.  God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day…” (Genesis 1 NASB),

“…we exist through Him…” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB).

One day I AM instructed, “….LET US MAKE man … after our likeness (our EXISTENCE) …” (Genesis 1:26 KJV). “…in his OWN image (A CARBON COPY)…..male and female created he them (BOUGHT THEM INTO EXISTENCE)…” (Genesis 1:27 KJV). “…And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground (body), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (spirit); and man became a living soul (soul)…” (GENESIS 2:7 KJV).

“…“…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…And the LORD God …breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living (existing) soul…” (GENESIS 2:7 KJV). “…I AM what I AM …” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).

BECAUSE OF the GOD of creation, I AM WHAT I AM. BECAUSE OF the GOD of creation, YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE.

God EXISTS and because he exists; YOU EXIST. “…  I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul (MY EXISTENCE) knows it very well…” (Psalms 139:14 NASB).

THE GOD OF CREATIVE EXISTENCE NEVER CHANGES!! “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).  “…Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13 :8 NIV).

GOD HAS POWERFULLY and CONSISTENTLY EXISTED in the past, exists in the present, and will continue to exist in the future.  “…Jesus Christ is the same … forever…” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).

GOD’S POWERFUL creative EXISTENCE made YOU to exist or live physically too. “… HE Himself GIVES to all people LIFE and BREATH and all things…” (Acts 17:25 NASB).    “… In Him we live and move and exist…” (Acts 17:28 NASB). “… in him we live, and move, and have our being… “ (Acts 17:28 KJV).  “…by the GRACE of God I AM (we are) what I AM (we are)…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).

The MIRACLE of CREATION is revealed in your very creative existence.

“…All things (including YOU) came into being through Him (the word, jesus), and apart from Him (the WORD, Jesus) nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB).
