God exists and He is our Creator

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

Many Christians have neglected the power of the first ten words in the Bible which says "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." We simply use or associate these words as the primary reference to the theoretical and theological explanation of creation (creationism) to compete with the theory of evolution. We have a strong belief that these statements are just for mere reference to support our faith in creationism.

These words indeed bear the very nature of our God that He exists prior to his creation and that clearly signified in these words of the Bible. It characterised the omnipresent and transcendent nature of our God and the clear authorship of the created object which bears the concept called trilogy of trilogy. The trilogy of trilogy refers to the object measured in time, space, and matters which interrelated but cannot stand on its own. Time refers to past, present, future. Space refers to length, width, and height. Matters or content refers to solid, liquid, and gas. Every objects bears this vivid measurement which clearly imparted by its author, our God. "In the beginning" - refers to time, "God created the heavens" - refers to space, "and the earth" - refers to matter. 

An object always has the time, space, and matter. If anyone or anything that can separate and stand without the others is indeed the only divine being, whom I believe is our God alone. We cannot measure God's existence, His Glory, and His Love. These are the characters He bears that only He can stand it separately. No one ever knows the time before the beginning, the glory of heavens and love of God to people He created here on earth. With this, we are confident to answer the question of where God came from. As this kind of question is subjective and is not even allowed to ask to our Creator.

Like us who can create things such as computers, we imparted a part of us and let it run by itself. The computer is limited with its designed function and purpose. We do not participate anymore when it runs, unless it is in trouble, we help to fix it. But if we ask the computer where your creator came from? Unless the creator stored such information to it, it will not be answered and probably bug down when it tried so hard to find the answer. However, it can only say proudly, I am created in His image and that is enough from me.

Do not get yourself stuck in this question; our Author has its own rights not to reveal all the mysteries He holds. God existed, exist, and will exist in the manner He wants and no creations are allowed to question it unless He himself revealed it. In John 3:8, Jesus revealed this wisdom too "The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." 

God bless you all!

Put Our Hope In God, not in uncertainties

(Midweek Devotions, 1 Timothy 6:17-21 - 25 Oct 2023) 1 Timothy 6:17-20 17  Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.  18  Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.  19  In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 20  Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,  21  which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith. Grace be with you all. We are in the final last 5 verses in book of First Timothy, an important pastoral letter which is very helpful for any man of God...

Respect - To Serve Them Even Better

(Midweek Devotion, 1st Timothy 6:1-2, 27 Sept 2023) 1st Timothy 6:1-2 1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered. 2 Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves. One of the great things about the Sacred Scriptures is that, it does not talk about God alone but also talks about His creatures behaviour, particularly human being, more specificallly those who are His people. 1st Timothy 6 gave us an idea of how both one who are UNDER authority and one who are IN authority should behave as bearers of the name of God. The Bible clearly values authority and how important one should submit to an authority over him. The Bible itself claims authority for Truth, thus, no wonder tha...

Sanctified - A Pleasing Servant of Christ

(Midweek Devotion - 1st Timothy 5:22-25, 13 Sept 2023) 1 Timothy 5:22-25 22  Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take part in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.  23  (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.)  24  The sins of some people are conspicuous, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others appear later.  25  So also good works are conspicuous, and even those that are not cannot remain hidden. After we have been reminded of Paul's apostolic instruction to give honour due to our elders, especially those who work in preaching and teaching; Paul is now giving us warnings of the continuing influences of sins to each and every believers. He warn us of three things: (1) do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, (2) taking part in the sins of others, (3) and keeping ourselves pure. Laying on of hands is particularly referring to the o...

Paul's Description Of A False Teacher

(Midweek Devotion, 1 Timothy 6:3-5 - 04 Oct 2023) 1 Timothy 6:3-5 3  If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4  he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5  and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. The bible is quite vocal in its warning against (1) a false prophet or false teachers, and (2) a false teaching or false doctrine. Jesus’ ministry had repeatedly criticise the Jewish religious leaders in their time and keep on correcting them in many occasions or warning the crowds or the Jewish people who follow their teachings. Paul in this part of his epistle to Timothy is similarly giving some warning to his child in faith and dealing...

Know, Knew, and Known in Christ

(Midweek Devotions - 1st Timothy) 1 Timothy 1:1-2      1  Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,      2  To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. Today we are starting a new devotional series referencing an epistle of the Apostle Paul to Timothy. As this letter is personal, let us try to understand the intentions and purpose of Paul to his younger brethren in Christ and co-labourer in the vineyard of God. This first and second letters to Timothy gives us many apostolic teachings, instructions, exhortations, and encouragement in individuals walk of faith in Christ. As the common format of Paul’s letter, he always make a careful introduction and addressing appropriately to whom a letter is intended for. I am always astonishing the way Paul gives introductions and addresses as it reminds us some ethical standards of h...
