‘God Is’ (4)
by Evangelista_GP Tue Oct 04, 2016 12:22 pm
‘I … made the earth and created mankind upon it.’
Isaiah 45:12
Ever wonder why we’ve failed to find life on any other planet, yet ours is designed to sustain us and meet our most basic everyday needs? It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Do you think it’s just a coincidence? Not according to the Bible. In it God says, ‘I … made the earth and created mankind upon it.’ Did you know that if the earth was 10 per cent larger or 10 per cent smaller, life as we know it wouldn’t be possible? Or that we’re just the right distance from the sun so we receive the right amount of heat and light? If we were any farther away we’d freeze, and if we were closer we wouldn’t be able to survive. Consider for a moment the amazing tilt of the axis of the earth. None of the other planets are tilted like ours at 23 degrees. This angle allows the sun’s rays to touch every part of the earth’s surface over the course of a year, as the earth circles the sun. If there was no tilt to the axis, the poles would accumulate enormous masses of ice, and the centre of the earth would become so hot we couldn’t stand it. Like an excited parent designing a room for the arrival of their newborn child, God made this earth specifically for us. ‘For this is what the LORD says - he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited’ (v. 18 NIV 2011 Edition). That’s how much God cares for us.
Luke 19:1-27, Ps 103-104
