God is the creator because He created everything in the universe.
God Made Human Beings Along With Other Life Forms
God loves human beings and He made them in His image(Genesis 1:27 ). In the beginning there was nothing on earth, everything was void and it was formless and shapeless( Genesis1:2). So God came over the waters and His spirit hovered over it (Genesis 1:3). Then the Lord commanded that there should be light and light appeared so God created light.
Subsequently, He divided the light and called the part with light as day and the dark part as night. Later on He filled the earth with all sorts of living and non-living things. He formed the fishes, animals, birds and the air, soil, planets, sun, moon and stars. In the end God created one species that had all the dominion and control on all other species on earth, this was the human being. Thus God who is the creator created everything in the universe.
However, the humans who were given free will didn’t use their God given gift of doing things in the proper way instead they misused it by not trusting in God and doing things their own way. This disturbed the way God had initially planned things to be. Thus things got difficult as the plans that God had for humanity were not working as it should.
Therefore, God decided to have things done in a different way by making humans understand it through the hard way which is giving them independence to do things as they wished. Man did things as they imagined without thinking about the consequences of their actions.
Man’s actions and its consequences
Man did things that were not approved by God. In the book of Genesis 3, we see that God had given man everything they need in the garden of Eden but man chose to be disobedient by eating the fruit of the tree and still they tried to tell God that everything happened because of the fault of the other circumstances which led to their eating the forbidden fruit.
Now they felt the need to cover themselves as suddenly they felt themselves to be naked and it dawned on them that they have sinned and so they need to go and hide themselves so that they no longer have to face God. However, God gave them things to cover their body and He also made them to leave the garden so that now they can live independently by relying on their strength and the power of their mind.
Man’s Life Became Hard
After leaving the garden they had a hard life because now their life depended on their hard work and not on the provision of God as God had provided the best in the garden for them to survive.
Thus, whenever anyone disobeys God that person then has to live a life where he needs to rely on things of the world and this is the reason why people take wrong decisions.
What Man Can Do To Set Things Straight?
Overall, when people do things as the way they please without asking God to guide them then the possibility of not having things done rightly is high. That is why it is important that we should always have the humility to submit to God as He is our provider and protector ( Psalms 91:2).
Therefore, man should live in the correct way and also lead others to God by living a holy life and telling about the great things of God so that they too will start to love God and live life that glorifies because God who is the creator knows everything.
How to live a life that glorifies God
God who is our maker has a way to address things so that all the affairs of the kingdom happen in the most efficient way. The Lord accomplishes his goal when people do things as per the way their mind aligns with the word of God.
People should answer the call of God who is their creator. God has called you from the mothers womb because God carved you in the palm of His his hand so God loves you and God has great plans for all people.
God sees that the people who respond to His call are groomed by the Holy Spirit as the Holy Spirit is a teacher( John 14:26 ) who teaches everything about the mysteries of God. Thus we should see that our life is lived in accordance with the word of God.
God Is Glorified When People Respond To His Call
God is glorified when people respond to His call because they tend to
- To see things from a different perspective
- Are more sensitive to the feelings of others
- They start to think deeply about things of God
1. To See Things From A Different Perspective
When people respond to God’s call then they tend to see things from a different perspective. Take for example when a person is in need then if they consider calling God to help them and then they are surprised when God helps them because they were not expecting God to show up. Now with this experience they will have their trust in God more and will not outright reject God.
2. Are More Sensitive To The Feelings Of Others
It is also seen that when people think with a mind that doesn’t like to think bad about others such people also get a higher chance to be sensitive to the feelings of others. So, this gives them an opportunity to think about a creator who loves people and takes care of them.
3. They Start To Think Deeply About The Things Of God
Ultimately these people can go to the source of their thinking which is the mind and try to understand why things don’t work properly on the earth because they feel that things need to be perfect as they see that whatever has been created on the earth is perfect like the sun, moon and the planets. They also see that all the living beings of different kinds have been made beautifully and intricately, ( Psalms 139 13-16).
Thus in their inside they know that someone has created everything and such beauty can’t occur on its own and so these people then reach a stage to find the one who created all these and their quest for God and His great mysteries start.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 1 John 1 : 5 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
Bible Verses
Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him. Male and Female created He them.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Psalms 91: 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you.”
Psalms 139 13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
