I than You because my events are terrible and miraculous; what wonders you do (Psalm 139:14)
The colorful flyer I received in the mail advertised a series of books on "the most fascinating investigations of human origins." The clever ad claims that modern humans descended from a very simple Substance that evolved over thousands of years. From this scientifically unscientific presentation I have concluded that my existence is the result of chemical coincidences, and that life has no real purpose. I am but a pitiful beast!
The Bible states that man was created as a result of the direct work of a Creator who "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life" (Genesis 2:7). Man was made in God's image so that he could live for Him and please Him forever.
If we believe ourselves to be the product of sheer coincidence, without meaning or fate, our behavior will be like that of an ape who lives only to wait for the "next banana." But because we were created "in the likeness" of God, our lives have meaning. We must radiate the glory and purposes of our Creator through our thoughts, words and deeds, namely the Creator who revealed Himself through Jesus Christ!
Realizing that we were created in the image of God and we are not animals, how should you live your life today? --MRD II
