God in Nature


God in Nature



Please open your Bible and read Psalm 19.
Truly “the heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1) and God is revealed in our natural world: “From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.” (Romans 1:20)
It is, however, a mistake to base our beliefs on the natural world alone. Christian apologist Matthew Slick notes that “If we look at a beautiful sunrise, we decide God is ‘good’; if we look at a hurricane, we decide God is ‘cruel’” for our world has been corrupted by sin. Although God’s image which he imbued in us upon creation has been defaced by our sin, it can never be entirely erased. Similarly, although the world is corrupt, God’s glory continues to peek through the dark clouds, providing illumination for all who allow God’s light to shine in their hearts. (2 Corinthians 4:5-6)
After all, “Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now.” (1 Corinthians 13:12) While we might know about God from nature, we can only know Him personally through His Son Jesus Christ and by reading His word to us in the Bible. Nevertheless, we can experience God’s real presence through His creation, and this is one of the amazing gifts that God has given us.
Question: How many Christians who actually read the whole bible from Genesis through Revelation?  I've seen people who would take their time to read a romance novel book they would read the whole book within a few hrs.  There are people who would take their time to read  a whole college text book to educate themselves but that same person would not take their time to read the whole bible . God speaks to people through His word. If we don't take  the time to read the word and applied it into our lives  than we won't be able to stand against the devil with out the word of God inside of us. Faith comes by hearing the word of God . The only way to fight the devil is through the word of God only not our personal opinions. The question for today is how many christians who actually read the whole bible?
