God Has Spoken

         At some point in your life you may have asked the question, “Does God really exist?” Personally, I have never doubted that God is and that He is all that He says He is in His written account that has been handed down from Old Testament Times and then through the New Testament times until now. I just never doubted that God is the Creator of all things just as the Scriptures say. There are probably close to 5 billion people who doubt the existence of God, based on the statistics of the world. Hebrews 1:1-3 says, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;”

         The Book of Hebrews begins with these words that inform us that God Himself has interacted with people, with the human race, over the periods of history through the “fathers by the prophets” and then most recently through or by the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. For the countless people who ignore God completely, this make no difference to them. You may look at the uniqueness of yourself through the big three, which to me are DNA, fingerprints and the iris of the eye. All three items are distinct for you and for you alone. The uniqueness goes on in the study of plants, trees and even insects whether they be butterflies, beetles or daises. From the smallest of created beings to the universe itself, we can see the mark of the Creator and should deeply suspect the idea of the primordial pool of chemicals. I am no great theologian nor a student of evolution, nor do I think that God just started it all, walked off and left it to come into existence by itself which to some has been called “theological evolution.” The Holy Bible has spoken to us and gives us the accounts that we need to know about creation, about life, about eternal matters, about eternal destination and what we should expect in the days to come. The problem seems more to be that man is not willing to believe and certainly not to accept the words of the Scriptures. God however, has spoken to us whether we accept it or not. God has given us the directions and the instructions whether we accept it or not. God has given us the way of salvation whether we accept it or not. God has spoken to us most recently through His Son and especially the events of that final week though the crucifixion, the burial, and magnificently, the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ form the dead. Everything in the Christian faith depends on that one event. It was no accident that I was born in 1938 and no accident that I was in the state of Indiana. God knows us even before we are born and still in our mothers womb. God knows your and my own unique structure even down to the number of hairs on our heads. If you doubt God's existence in this world, just turn your palm up and look at your fingerprints. Look at your eyes in the mirror. That's you and there is no one like you. In the end, I will choose to put my faith in God Himself and in His Word. Praise God today for His speaking to us through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
