The Gospel of Creation

From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his his invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse  whatsoever for not knowing God.

Romans 1:20


The Milky Way, the Great Barrier Reef, the northern lights, the miracle of birth... the universe is filled with wonders that humans cannot replicate on their own, wonders that point to the existence of Someone as Creator. People disagree over who this Creator is and whether he is actively involved in the world today. Yet the intricacy, orderliness and sheer awesomeness of the natural world confirm what the human heart has felt since the dawn of time - there is more to this life than meets the eye.

What is visible proclaims the existence of something invisible. Some people have rejected this truth, but that doesn't make it any less true. Paul discussed in his letter to the Romans how people knew God was there but did not thank him or give glory to him for what he'd done. They chose instead to go their own foolish ways. The good news is that God is real. His fingerprints are everywhere and you can understand more about who he is by simply studying what he's made.

Knowing about God's character is not the same thing as knowing him. However, recognizing there is a God is the first step to seeking him. Through the wonder of creation, God has left no room for anyone's choosing to do anything less.

You can make the truth found in Romans more real to you by exploring the world around you, thereby discovering new things about God's character. Praise God for everything you learn.
