Whether you are an
evolutionist or creationist when it comes to how the world was formed, there is
one point we can all agree on. None of us were present for these events so
whatever viewpoint we decide on has to be taken completely by faith. (Hebrews
11:3)
Science and faith often
provide validity in the way they clarify each other. (Think of a few examples.)
It’s true that God is always evident in the world (and universe) He created.
(Romans 1:20) If you hunt for God’s fingerprints, clues of Him are evident
everywhere.
As human beings, our moral
code of what’s right and wrong in our souls is of the Almighty. We are foolish
if we think that we have no faith at all in a Being greater (and wiser) than ourselves.
(Isaiah 51:7, Jeremiah 31:33, Psalm 53:1). Even an atheist has to use faith in
their daily life to survive. To the Heavenly Father, His creation is of great
importance to Him.
Creation can’t be
contradicted by science. (Genesis 2:1-3) In order for your world to be present
as it is today; certain processes had to occur in a particular orderly manner.
(I Corinthians 14:40) Nothing is by chance. The Almighty has always used the
evolutionary process to create more complex species through the ages. Be
reminded of the following.
The existence of miracles is
not challenged by science. They are something that can’t be explained, and must
be accepted by faith. (Hebrews 11:1). Miracles happen when you least expect
them, but need them most.
They are difficult to
measure concretely by human standards. (Miracles are often out of this world.)
Whenever Jesus performed a miracle it was to create wholeness in someone, and
ultimately bring glory to the Heavenly Father. (John 3:1-2)
One day those who (at the
conclusion of their earthly life) that have accepted Jesus Christ (as their
Lord and Savior) while they were living will receive the miraculous,
unexplainable gift of Heaven (New Jerusalem) from God.
Revelations 21:4 (NLT) reveals
this about this amazing destination. “And
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death
or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” If you have made your reservations for this eternal
place, there is no myth in its reality for you in the future.
