Relationship to God as Creator

From our Introductory Post:

“The righteous have sat back and allowed the wicked to take over our relationships to God, families, churches, governments, schools and colleges, journalism, entertainment, sports, sciences, and a whole litany of other endeavors in our society.”

Relationship to God as Creator

In evangelicalism today we see many “plans of salvation.” Most of them claim to be THE plan of salvation. However, the point is that most people aren’t even concerned about “salvation.” Instead, they are asking “Salvation from what?” Good question.

In this post and those to follow we will attempt to answer the questions people today are really asking rather than the questions that were asked two or more generations ago. We can no longer assume that people believe that God created them or has any claim on their lives. The standard “plan of salvation,” has no meaning for them. We need to communicate basic Bible truths and the Good News, a regular feature of this blog.

It is necessary to establish the existence of the Creator God (Genesis 1:1). This is generally not complicated. Jesus simply said, “Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22). We need to state the fact and emphasize that this is taught in the Bible, the Word of God. Most unbelievers will accept this after some time for reflection.

The Creator God is taught throughout the Scriptures. From the beginning the Bible teaches that God created in six approximately 24 hour days (Genesis 1; Exodus 20; Exodus 31). We know that the creation was finished a few thousand years ago because the Bible genealogies indicate approximately 2000 years from Creation to Abraham. History teaches approximately 2000 years from Abraham to Jesus and approximately 2000 years from Jesus to the present. This is not a difficult concept to grasp.

There is no compromise position. God DID not and did not NEED to “use” evolution to create. It is oxymoronic to think that the omnipotent (all-powerful) Creator of the universe would stoop to use such an inefficient and cruel process as speculative evolution to bring the universe and all its contents into existence. Jesus himself taught that there was a distinct beginning for humans (Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6).

Our American Founders understood that God created. They acknowledged the Creator as they literally put their lives on the line by signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

I remain yours in the name of Jesus Christ, the Creator and Name above every name.
