An Act of Faith

An act of Faith.


"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. 
 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." 
                                                 Hebrews 11:1-3
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." 
             Genesis 1:1,2
Faith perhaps one of the hardest things to have. Over the years I have looked at Genesis one, one and two and wondered many things. Did God create the universe in six day? Or was it six Millennium?
And you know I don’t really care. To me all that is important is that God created the heavens and the earth. I believe by faith that he created the heavens and the earth that’s all that matters. How long it took Him is a moot point.
The important thing is that I believe in God. That I believe by faith in the saving grace of His one and Only Son Jesus Christ.
A famous Jewish Zionist Rabbi Hillel Silver wrote.   “Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society.  Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority.”
          Science cannot explain correctly how we built our moral code. It doesn’t know how to quantify true love. Yet without the two we would be nothing more than automatons. Robots doing little more than repetitive tasks without any feelings for each other.
The Bible inspired by God lays down for us a moral code that if obeyed leads to all mankind living in harmony with one another.
God who created us placed within us the need to be loved and to love others. Its part of our very make up.
And He does not stop there. He surrounds us with His creation. We are placed on a planet exactly the right distance from the sun. With a climate ideal for life. All of nature that surrounds us is perfectly balanced right down to the cellular and molecular levels.
There are a set of universal laws that govern all of nature and the world around us in general. Laws that scientist through the centuries have discovered.
I cannot believe that all of this is simply random. To me it proves that there is a God that loves me.
A God that I will follow by faith.
