Don't sweat the small things, even if it concerns the Universe

Don’t sweat the small things, even if it concerns the Universe

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 
                                                                              Genesis 1:1

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  
He was with God in the beginning. 
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  
In him was life, and that life was the light of men....
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—  children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” 
      John 1:1-4,12,13.
I listened the other day to an evolutionist who made a compelling argument for evolution. He was a well educated man who spoke out against the six day creation theory.
My problem with what he said wasn’t about evolution but rather that he made it sound like believing in evolution and God are mutually exclusive. In other words you can only believe in one or the other. That’s not true.
Because man is not perfect you can be in error in some of the things you believe and still be a believer in God.
Belief in God and your salvation through Christ is not dependent on how long it took the earth to be created.
I know of numerous Christians that do not believe the world was made in six days. Yet they believe that there is a God and that he created the heavens and the earth.
That Jesus is the son of God and they have accepted Him as their Lord and saviour.
They believe John1:12,13 that states,
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—  children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”
         John1:12,13.
It’s a problem I believe both non-Christians and Christians have. They say you can’t be a Christian and believe in evolution. But it is possible.
In order to be a Christian one must believe by faith there is a God. Hebrews stating,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” 
                                                                                            Hebrews 11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
                                                                      Hebrews 11:6.
A Christian must believe the words of Jesus who said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” 
                                                                                                               John 3:16-18.
How long it took the earth to form and by what process is unimportant to salvation. What we Christians need to do is not worry about creation arguments. Rather we should be presenting the Gospel of Christ. The salvation message to all we meet both in word and deed and let God and the Holy Spirit show people what is right and what is wrong.
Think about it.
