… God Speaks

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
(Genesis 1:1 NLT)

and there was light, day and night,
sky, land and sea,
sun, moon and stars,
fish, birds, creatures …
and humans. (Genesis 1)

And Creation Speaks
***
The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
Psalm 19:1-4a NLT
***
“All of creation is a song of praise to God.”
Hildegard of Bingen
***
So Ignorance is No Excuse.
***
For ever since the world was created,
people have seen the earth and sky.
Through everything God made,
they can clearly see his invisible qualities—
his eternal power and divine nature.
So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Romans 1:20 NLT

“God’s creative acts are meant to draw us into a relationship with Him.”
Tim Chester
***
For we are God’s masterpiece.
He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10 NLT
***
Put on your new nature, created to be like God—
truly righteous and holy.
Ephesians 4:24 NLT
