REAL POWER: MAXING OUT ON GOD'S LOVE |
LIVE AS IF YOU ARE IN GOD'S PRESENCE
Scientists tell us the universe began billions of years ago with a Big
Bang. All of the evidence points to a massive explosion that hurled
the galaxies and intergalactic debris into space. The problem is they
don’t know who or what caused the Big Bang to happen. The Bible says
that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. If
there ever was a Big Bang, it was God who made it happen.
Evolutionists tell us life evolved on
planet earth in a giant cosmic accident. The reason we are here is
because we won the biggest lottery of all eternity. The Bible says
God created all living things, and it wasn’t an accident. God does
everything on purpose. Accidents happen, but not to God.
THE FINAL ACT OF
CREATION – MAKING YOU IN THE IMAGE OF GOD
The creation of the universe was an
impressive display of divine power. The creation of life was a
brilliant miracle, and still remains a mystery that scientists seek to
understand. But God didn’t stop his creative activity after he formed
the universe and created life. There remained one final act of
creation that was stunningly different from all the rest. God
imprinted his image on his ultimate creation. God put an eternal
spirit into man.
God created man in his own image.
The image of God is not the physical body to which we are so attached
and with which we are so familiar. That image is our eternal spirit.
God is a Spirit, and the spirit that He placed inside our body is the
only part of us bearing any resemblance to him.
THE GREAT DIVIDE
It wasn’t long after God created man
in his own image that there appeared a great divide. In an amazing
display of arrogance, the created ones rose up and denied the
existence of their creator.
On one side of this great divide,
atheists stand with an inexplicable Big Bang. On the other side of
the divide is the Creator who made the Big Bang happen.
On one side, life is only a cosmic
accident in an otherwise meaningless universe. On the other side is
the Creator who loved his creation with an everlasting love, and his
presence gives meaning to everything that happens.
You must choose on which side of the
great divide you will stand. If you are only a cosmic accident, then
your life has no ultimate meaning. Your values are merely a
complicated fairy tale that evolved over thousands of years.
When you stand on the other side of
the divide, you stand in the presence of the One who made it all
happen. He is the One who put an eternal spirit inside your body, and
you have the privilege of having a personal relationship with him
based on love.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A
WORLD WITHOUT GOD’S LOVE?
God has loved the world with an
everlasting love. He has never stopped pouring his love into the
human heart. The most powerful force in the universe still is God’s
love. It’s the binding force that holds everything together and keeps
the universe in existence. If God ever withdraws his love from his
creation, the world will plunge into profound spiritual darkness.
Planet earth will self-destruct and become a lifeless cinder hurtling
through space.
Even the most optimistic atheist has
little reason for hope. Their short stay on planet earth is like the
flash of a meteor in the night sky. They ride our cosmic
merry-go-round on its annual journey around the sun. If their life is
short, they make the trip only a few times. If they have a long life,
they may make ninety trips before they are gone. No matter how many
times they go for the ride, their life is only a flicker before the
ride is done.
For atheists, life is an accident
that happened. There is no meaning or purpose governing their
existence. They live in a hostile universe ruled by survival of the
fittest. For them, God’s love is only a fairy tale, and Humanosaurus
Rex is the self-appointed ruler of their hopeless world.
GOD’S UNIVERSE WAS
CREATED AND IS RULED BY LOVE
Fortunately, you live in a different
universe than atheists. Your universe was created and is ruled by
God’s love. God hasn’t given up on his world, and his love still
remains the most powerful force in the universe. It still conquers
evil and transforms the lives of people who open their heart and mind
to his love.
You must never forget that God loves
you and accepts you as you are, but He loves you too much to let you
stay that way. God is on your side, and there is no limit to how good
your life can become when you have a personal relationship with him.
