For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse (Rom 1:20)
It would appear that most people (including many Christians) do not really meditate on the marvels of God’s creation. But one when thinks about everything that God has made, and presently exists all over the world, one is awestruck by the “genius” of God and Christ (who was designated by God the Father to be the Creator of the universe). He is both Creator and Redeemer.
One simply has to look at the amazing varieties of all the species in the animal and vegetable kingdom, including birds, butterflies, bees, and bacteria. One simply has to ponder on the marvelous creation of the human body in all its intricate features and functions. And then we have the beauties of nature, in the mountains, forest, lakes, and streams. As well as the oceans, and the huge variety of creatures and species that live in them.
What God has also done in create every creature for the particular environment in which it is found, and thrives. And the way that the varieties of horses and other intelligent creatures exist. The intelligence of horses and many other creatures is quite remarkable. But then the Bible tells us that God made the ostrich to lack any intelligence. But all creatures have been given instincts to live and survive and reproduce, so they do exactly what they are supposed to do instinctively.
When we think of the plant kingdom, and the huge variety of trees, shrubs, medicinal plants, flowers, fruit trees, and trees producing sap and syrup, it boggles the mind. Then the way God has given both mankind and other creatures fruits, vegetables, berries, and all kinds of trees to sustain humans, animal and birds, that reveals the wisdom of God. And every species in the plant kingdom is perfectly suited for is particular environment. Only God could make all this happen by simply speaking, and creating all things out of nothing.
None of the above tells us about the laws of nature embedded into creation, and the mathematics that govern all created things with mathematical precision. God is the Great Mathematician (among other things).
Then we come to the intelligence of mankind, and that certain people have been endowed with genius, including child prodigies. Everything discovered and created by man. in accordance with the natural laws which exists, is in itself amazing. But the sinful nature of mankind has perverted science in order to maim, destroy, and kill.
When we come to the spirit realm (the most important of all realms), only human beings have been given spirits. But because of the Fall, all natural humans have “dead” spirits, and only those who have been supernaturally regenerated have spirits which are alive to God and to His written Word.
And thus we come to the Holy Bible, which is direct divine revelation given to apostles and prophets. It is not only a written Word, but it is Quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.(Heb 4:12, 13)
The ultimate purpose of the Bible is to reveal the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and Savior, and to present His finished work in His sufferings, His death, His burial, and His resurrection. But we should not forget His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His present divine ministry as High Priest, Mediator, and Advocate. God wants all mankind to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of His truth. And so He presents Christ throughout the Bible, particularly in the New Testament. And the way of salvation by grace through faith in Christ and His finished work of redemption.
But those who reject the Gospel and reject Christ will face Him as the Supreme Judge. Thus God now commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:3o)
