The Three Elements of Creation
- "In the beginning" signifies the start of time.
- "The earth" represents matter, and
- "the heavens" indicate space.
This verse reveals that God, who exists eternally, brought time, matter, and space into existence in a single moment. It also shows that God is beyond the restrictions of these three. He is not bound by time, physical form, or spatial limits.
The Foundation of Faith
This single verse is the foundation of our faith. It establishes God as the Supreme Creator, existing before time and bringing everything into existence.
But in a world that promotes scientific theories like evolution, some struggle to believe this truth because of the explanations they have learned.
Faith and Science: A Misunderstood Relationship
The problem is not science itself but how we approach it. If we dedicate all our time to studies and only an hour on Sundays to knowing God, it's easy to become swayed by alternative explanations of the world.
However, the deeper one studies science, the more one sees evidence of intelligent design.
Many scientists, even those who started as skeptics, have acknowledged that the intricate details of life point toward a Creator rather than mere random chance.
Consider:
- The complexity of DNA
- The fine-tuning of the universe
- The precise laws of physics
Each of these reflects a divine order, pointing to an intentional and intelligent Designer.
Why This Truth Matters
For a time, I neither believed nor disbelieved that God created the universe—it just didn’t seem to matter. But this is a grave mistake.
If we fail to acknowledge God as the Creator, we risk missing out on a deeper relationship with Him. Recognizing Him as the One who formed the universe is essential to believing that He also knows how to restore what is broken.
Our journey of healing and renewal begins with accepting this truth.
Seeking Answers in Faith
If you are struggling with this truth, I encourage you to take your doubts to God in prayer. Ask Him for wisdom and clarity. He is not afraid of your questions and will lead you to an undeniable encounter with His presence.
God created everything (including you) with a purpose. Trust in Him, and let this foundational truth shape your faith and your life.
