Romans Ch 1. verses 20,21
FOR SINCE THE CREATION OF THIS WORLD HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES ARE CLEARLY SEEN, BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE, EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD, SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE,
BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH THEY KNEW GOD, THEY DID NOT GLORIFY HIM AS GOD, NOR WERE THANKFUL, BUT BECAME FUTILE IN THEIR THOUGHTS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEARTS WERE DARKENED.
God is everywhere. Even if we tried, we could not in any way avoid it, or make it untrue. If we take a closer look, science itself, proves the very existence of God just by the study of creation. I mean if you really think about it, there is no way evolution could have created such intensely detailed and orchestrated beings. Every cell in our body, every cell in any living organism, is so extremely profound and amazing that there is just no way that some explosion could have created us. For even just the fact that we have feelings, and souls, and thoughts proves how much more unrealistic evolution seems. How could evolution create feelings, and how could evolution create thoughts. Why does the human race believe in miracles, or even the idea of fate..how could those be possible without some higher power? There HAS to be a God. And this bible verse states just that, "for since the creation of this world his invisible attributes are CLEARLY seen...and then it goes on to say .."so that they are without excuse." So it pretty much means that all creation knows, and feels that God is alive; people just close their hearts to the fact and make themselves believe otherwise. In the end, no one will have an excuse, because deep down inside, everyone knows the truth, some just choose to run away from it. But life, isn't only about knowing that God is alive... anybody could make up their own idea of God, this world has many versions of "god"... but hasn't it hit them that every other God in every other religion doesn't go by the name GOD... there's Buddha, and there's Zeus, and so many other ideas that people came up with, but its still not GOD. There is one God, and the bible is his powerful sword, and the people who have been pierced with that sword come across the power, of our one true GOD. And today, as I thought about God, my heart filled with a strong sense of shame. I realized that we as Christians tend to underestimate the power of our God, a God who could rid our existence with nothing but his breath. A God who is almighty, and omnipotent. We Christians don't treat Him with the reverence and fear that he deserves, we disobey him at every convenience and think that we could get away with it. We don't praise him or glorify him with all that we are..we treat kings and presidents with more respect, we try to look good and worthy before their eyes but why not before God? Why is it that other religions are so faithful to something that isn't even true and we Christians who know the truth cant even live one day without selfishly abandoning our God. And the worst part is, we underestimate the power of his love and his free gift that he has given us. Our prideful hearts don't realize how undeserving we are of this love that he fills our lives with every day. If only our minds and hearts could TRULY comprehend how extravagant this gift really is, we would no longer have the desire to live for ourselves anymore. Because why would this holy, and mighty God want anything to do with us; so selfish, and proud, such sinners. But by the blood of His Son, he proves to us how much we truly mean to him, and how much he wants to save us all. No other religion could offer something this great. In all honesty we take God, and everything he did for us for granted. We don't realize that without this gift our lives would mean nothing. So why do we tend to treat God this way, like he's nothing? Why don't treat Him like the mighty God that he is..I pray not to become like the people in the verse, one who knows God but doesn't glorify him, one who doesn't thank him for his never ending blessings and mercies. I want to live in a way where I am boastful of the God that I believe in, where I stand firm in his promises and his laws. Because we all know him, and we all know of him, but i don't want to do just that...I want to proclaim him, and live him..and I want to know him; as my God, and as my creator, as my father, but most of all as my savior.
