God’s Fingerprints

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.
