Did Mankind Come into
Existence through a Supreme Creator?
Is There a Real Purpose
for Human Life?
Does Your Life have Real
Meaning that you have Never Realized?
Was humanity created and put here on the earth by an
intelligent and Almighty Creator for a definite purpose?
And if so, WHAT IS THAT PURPOSE? And WHY is humanity so
totally unaware of it?
TWO POSSIBILITIES
There are two possibilities for the origin of life, the
theory of evolution and the belief in a supreme Creator
who made all things for a definite purpose.
Those who accept evolution must still wrestle with the
fact that in this process something of a lower level of
existence evolves to a higher level of existence. It
still does not answer the mystery of how matter itself
came into existence.
Evolution begins after
the fact, it does not attempt to explain how
something could come from nothing. Although Scientists
don't always agree on the age of the universe, they do
all virtually agree that the universe has an age. It had
a definite beginning at some point in prehistory.
Some find it extremely difficult to
believe in a Divine Creator that they have not seen with
their own eyes. Yet could something suddenly come from
nothing? That PHYSICAL MATTER suddenly appeared where
there was NO PHYSICAL MATTER, and that LIFE sprang from
NON-LIFE? And not only something from nothing coming
into being of itself simply by chance with no
intelligent force involved, -but then must accept that
as this happened it produced perfect order and balance,.
. .by itself?!
THE
SPLENDOR OF IT ALL
When one looks around at the beauty and splendor of the
earth, the plant life, the animal kingdom and the realm
of man, the inquisitive mind can't help but wonder WHO
placed them in such perfect balance and harmony.
In his monumental book "The
Two Babylons", Alexander Hislop wrote,- "There
is this great difference between the works of men and
works of God, that the same minute and searching
investigation which displays the DEFECTS and
IMPERFECTIONS of the one, brings out also the BEAUTIES
of the other. If the most finely polished needle on
which the art of man has been expended be subjected to a
microscope, MANY INEQUALITIES, much ROUGHNESS and
CLUMSINESS will be seen. But if the microscope be
brought to bear on the flowers of the field, NO SUCH
RESULT APPEARS. Instead of their beauty diminishing, NEW
BEAUTIES and still more DELICATE, that have escaped the
naked eye, ARE FORTHWITH DISCOVERED."
It is obvious that the creation around us is awesome and
far superior to anything the mind of man can design and
the hands of man can make. And everything that was made,
was made for a definite purpose.
UNIVERSE IS GOVERNED BY
LAWS
Given the fact that the universe shows
itself to be governed by fundamental laws that keep it
hanging in perfect balance and order, . . .is it more
REASONABLE to believe that the universe just happened by
chance? Or is it MORE REASONABLE to conclude that there
is a DIVINE MASTER MIND at work which transcends the
dimensions of time and space?
MANY
SCIENTISTS BELIEVE IN A CREATOR
Perhaps because the teaching of evolution has been such
a staple in the classroom for some time now, many harbor
the erroneous concept that only the "simple-minded" and
"uneducated" could possibly believe in creation. But in
reality, this is not true at all. In fact, many of the
most brilliant scientists of the past 150 years were
convinced that it is more reasonable to believe in a
Creator than not.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
"Quantum Mechanics is certainly imposing, but an
inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing.
The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any
closer to the SECRET OF THE OLD
ONE. GOD does
not play dice."
STEPHEN HAWKING
"We could still imagine that there is a set of
laws that determines events completely for some
SUPERNATURAL BEING."
SIR JAMES JEANS
The existence of objects arises
from their subsisting in the mind of some ETERNAL
SPIRIT. . .GOD is a mathematician and the universe
begins to look more like a great thought than a great
machine."
SIR
FREDERICK HOYLE
"A common sense interpretation of the facts
suggests that a SUPER-INTELLECT has monkeyed with
physics, as well as chemistry and biology, and that
there are no blind forces worth speaking about in
nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem
to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost
beyond question."
WICKRAMASINGHE
"The probability of life forming from non-life
(or without a Creator) is like having a tornado whip
through a junkyard and creating a fully functional 747"
JOSE N. REYES
"The probability that life should exist due to
random processes is incredibly small, one may say
impossible, yet here we are! What are we to conclude?
When considering the formation of the universe, it is
reasonable to believe that an intelligent Creator acted
to set its initial conditions and control parameters."
WERNHER VON BRAUN
"To be forced to believe only one conclusion-
that everything in the universe happened by chance would
violate the very objectivity of science itself. What
random process could produce the brains of a man or the
system of the human eye?"
Note: The
human eye contains a hundred million nerve cells which
work together perfectly to allow you to see close up, at
a distance, and in color.
DR. VON BRAUN AGAIN
"Atheists all over the world have called upon
science as their crown witness against the existence of
God. But as they try, with arrogant abuse of scientific
reasoning to render proof there is no God, the simple
and enlightening truth is that their arguments
boomerang. For one of the most fundamental laws of
natural science is that nothing in the physical world
ever happens without a cause. There simply cannot be a
creation without some kind of SPIRITUAL CREATOR."
The distinguished Dr. Von Braun (NASA
Director, and father of the American Space Program) realizes
that there is an intelligence working in the universe
that transcends the four dimensions of scientific
understanding,- a CREATOR who is SPIRIT by nature.
THE BIBLE'S PERSPECTIVE OF
GOD
The Bible's perspective of God does describe a Being who
transcends our four dimensional space-time concept.
"In the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
(Genesis 1:1)
"But do not let this one
fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one
day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one
day." (2 Peter 3:8)
"For I am God, and there
is no one like Me, declaring the end from the
beginning." (Isaiah 46:9)
"I am the Alpha and Omega,
the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
(Revelation 22:13)
The Bible reveals that God created much by speaking,- "Let
there be light, and there was light," - "Let dry land
appear, and it appeared." (Genesis)
Could it be that several billion years ago an awesome
Creator living in an existence of spirit and
timelessness with other lesser spirits called angels,
determined to create a universe from another substance
we call matter? That one day this Creator spoke the
words, "LET THE UNIVERSE APPEAR IN ALL OF ITS
SPLENDOR!?" And with blinding light and unfathomable
power, in an instant it appeared?
EVERYTHING WAS DESIGNED
FOR A PURPOSE
The following examples are from "The
Collapse of Evolution", by Scott M. Huse.
Gardening Ants: A
fascinating relationship, which has been observed in
nature, concerns the Bull's Horn Acacia tree of Central
and South America. This tree is furnished with large
hollow thorns that are inhabited by a species of
ferocious stinging ants. Consequently, the ants get food
and shelter from the tree. The tree, for its part of the
bargain, receives complete protection from all animal
predators and plant competitors.
The ants viciously attack any and all intruders. But the
truly remarkable aspect of this symbiotic relationship
is the fact that these ants are gardeners! They make
regular raids in all directions from their home tree,
nipping off every green shoot that dares to show its
head near their tree. As a result, this particular tree
always has plenty of sunlight and space which is a
rarity in the tropical jungle where the competition for
such things is intense. Experiments have shown that when
all if the ants are removed from one of these trees, the
tree dies within 2 to 15 months!
Evolutionist casually label this type of symbiotic
relationship as an example of co-adaptation. Of course,
they never attempt to explain just how such an intricate
relationship might have developed through the
evolutionary process. Hence, the evolutionary viewpoint
continues to be a matter of faith or presumption, not
science. But how much more reasonable and logical is the
faith of the creationist who perceives that these
wonderful relationships are the purposeful and
intelligently designed handiwork of an omniscient
Creator.
WHAT IS MAN'S PURPOSE?
Everything that has been created was designed for a
specific purpose. If the plant kingdom, the animal
kingdom and the insect world have their own reasons for
being, then what about man?
Certainly man is God's crowning
achievement.
Man alone was created with the
ability to think and plan to bring his dreams into
being.
Just what is God's ultimate
purpose for man?
The amazing truth is that you and I were created
to become what God is, to actually be born into the
Divine Family of God which consists now of the FATHER
and the SON, both God, one Family.
God is expanding His family to
soon include what once were human beings.
Yes man is destined to not only be like Christ but share
in His glory and inheritance. Jesus is the first-born of
MANY SONS God is calling to glory, honor, dominion and
eternal life. "For
whom He foreknew, He also predestined to BECOME
CONFORMED to the IMAGE OF HIS SON, that He might be the
FIRST-BORN among MANY BRETHREN; and who He predestined,
these He also called; whom He called, these He also
justified; and whom He justified, THESE He also
GLORIFIED." (Romans 8:29-30)
Now notice this from the beloved Apostle John, "See
how GREAT A LOVE the Father has bestowed upon us, that
we should be called CHILDREN OF GOD; and SUCH WE ARE.
For this reason the world does not know us, because it
did not know Him. Beloved, now we are CHILDREN OF GOD,
and it HAS NOT APPEARED as yet WHAT WE SHALL BE. We know
that, when He (Jesus) appears. WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM,
because we shall see Him just as He is." (1 John 3:1-2)
If we are faithful and obedient to God,
we will share in His likeness and glory. Our appearance
will ultimately take on His glorious appearance as
described in Revelation
1:14-16,- "And His head and His hair were white like
white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of
fire; and His feet were like burnished bronze, when it
has been caused to glow in a furnace, and His voice was
like the sound of many waters."
My friends, do you begin to comprehend
WHY YOU WERE BORN?
JUST WHAT YOUR ULTIMATE DESTINY
IS?
YOUR VERY REASON FOR BEING?
God knew you before you were born. He
planned the day of your birth. He
saw your form before you were in your mother's womb. And
it is His desire that you fulfill your ultimate destiny
of being a part of the ROYAL FAMILY OF GOD, born of
spirit, composed of spirit and blessed with eternal
life.
God only knows the things He has planned for us in
eternity. The Bible says that it has not entered into
man's mind the wonderful things God has planned for him.
BUT IT IS NOT AN EASY THING! You must lay down your
will, your selfish wants and desires and submit to God's
will, your heavenly Father knows best.
God was willing to lay down His very life for you, in
order to bring you to eternal glory, are you willing to
cooperate with Him by submitting to His will in your
life?
God, the Son had to come to earth as Jesus, a mortal
man. Why? In order that He may die for you and me and
for all who will believe and accept His sacrifice. Why?
Because we broke the rules, and breaking the rules is
called sin by God. Sin requires a penalty, and the
penalty is eternal death. (Romans
6:23) Because
God loves us so much, the Father willingly sent His Son
to die in our place, and Jesus, the Son willingly laid
down His precious life for that purpose. You see, Jesus,
the man, also had a purpose to fulfill while on the
earth.
ENLIGHTENING
SCRIPTURES
"For OUR CITIZENSHIP is in heaven, from which
also we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus
Christ; WHO WILL TRANSFORM THE BODY OF OUR HUMBLE STATE
INTO CONFORMITY WITH THE BODY OF GLORY, by the exertion
of the power that He has even to subject all things to
Himself." (Philippians 3;20-21)
"He who overcomes, I will grant to him to SIT
DOWN WITH ME ON MY THRONE, as I also overcame and sat
down with My Father on His throne." (Revelation 2:26)
"For all who are being led by the spirit of God,
these are SONS OF GOD." . . . "And if CHILDREN, HEIRS
ALSO, heirs of God and FELLOW-HEIRS with CHRIST, if
indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be
GLORIFIED WITH HIM." (Romans 8:14 & vs 17)
"For the anxious longing of the CREATION waits
eagerly for the REVEALING of the SONS OF GOD. For the
creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will,
but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the
creation itself also will be SET FREE from its slavery
to corruption into the freedom of the GLORY of the
CHILDREN OF GOD. For we know that the WHOLE CREATION
groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together
until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves,
having the first fruits of the spirit, even we ourselves
groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for OUR ADOPTION
AS SONS, the redemption of the body." (Romans 8:19-23)
Isn't that absolutely
incredible?!
The entire creation has been suffering since the
beginning because of sin, and is now anxiously awaiting
the revealing of the glorified children of God who will
set it free from corruption.
We see in the prophecies of Isaiah
(Chapters 2, 11) that
even the animals will drastically change at that time.
The Lion will eat grass and will lay down with other
animals of the herd. The pain and suffering will come to
an end. The
Lord declares, "There
will be no harm on My Holy Mountain."
WONDERINGS
FROM LONG AGO
A young shepherd boy who would later
become King of Israel pondered the mystery of man. "When
I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the
moon and the stars, which You have set in place; WHAT IS
MAN, that you are mindful of him? Yet You have made him
a little lower than the angels (for a while) and do
crown him with glory and majesty. You do make him rule
over the works of Your hands; You have put all things
under his feet." (Psalm 8:3-6)
"WHAT AM I?"
"WHY AM I?"
You are the workmanship of the Divine Creator, God. You
are living in the flesh in order to learn to submit to
the will of God. He wants you to be a part of His
family, His team.
He wants you to share in His
glory and receive eternal life.
You have two choices, Life and Death.
God will not allow those who choose rebellion against
His government to receive eternal life. They will suffer
the second death in the Lake of Fire. Contrary to what
you may have heard or been taught, you do not have an
immortal soul, you are mortal.
Right now you
are being tested to see if you have the "right stuff'
for adoption into the Divine Family. God desires that
all would change and submit to His will, but He knows
this will never happen, but the door is open for you.
You don't have to be a part of
the many who will perish in the flames of the Lake of
Fire.
Jesus said,- "Enter
by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is
broad that leads to destruction, and MANY ARE THOSE WHO
ENTER BY IT."
"For the gate is small,
and the way is narrow that leads to LIFE, and FEW ARE
THOSE WHO FIND IT."(Matthew
7:13-14)
Through MAN, GOD IS REPRODUCING
HIMSELF! EXPANDING HIS FAMILY!
This YOUR PURPOSE for being,
please don't miss the opportunity.
