GOD AND HIS CREATION

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

 (Genesis 1:1)

The Holy Bible begins with a very firm, true and affirmative statement, “God created the heavens and the earth.” The Holy Bible says that He also created different kinds of beings to live in them. Furthermore, God established spiritual beings, such as angels to live in heaven. He dispatched on earth different kinds of greens, animals and human beings. God created them all with clear plans and purposes for His own pleasure and satisfaction.

Ever since, history and experiences of all times have proven that both human beings and other creatures alike live in heaven and on earth, and are connected to God’s truths. The very truths are connected to His plans and purposes to enhance positive outcomes. It has been clear that every life God created, both things and beings depend on how much they are connected as well as, to His plans and purposes.

When in heaven, a group of angels decided to live outside God’s plans and purposes; they ceased to be angels to become Satan and demons. In the case of human beings, the consequences of leaving God’s plans and purposes were that they got corrupted and became appalling in mind. Hatred and its offsprings came forth to become a channel of every weakness, misery and death. Men began to get sick, suffered different kinds of troubles and died as a result. Human being’s life ever since became as that of a fish in and outside water.

Human beings have a special grace from God. They have possibilities to know God’s truths and live by them in order to get an abundant and blessed life. That was the reason why in man’s early days, God taught him the truth of the tree of the knowledge and of good and evil. He said to Adam in the Garden of Eden, “But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you should surely die” (Genesis 2:17). This is an example of truths one should know in order to lead a God blessed and abundant life.

God, in the Holy Bible said to Israel, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priest; because you have ignored the law of your God, I will also ignore your children” (Hosea 4:6). “To the Jews who had believed Him, Jesus said, if you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32). In His last prayer Jesus Christ disclosed this, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent (John 17:3).”

God’s plans and purposes for His creations are all found in the Holy Bible for everyone who wants to know, believe and live by them. They express in them God’s mind and heart. Out of His love, God has put these things in the Bible for mankind to know and live by them for blessing as well as abundant life. It is for this reason, Pastor Kasanda Luc Tshilenge at Greenwood City Church in Perth, has opened the Siloam Gospel Centre Blog to share God’s word with everyone, in Perth and around the world, both Christians and non-Christians for revelation, salvation, edification, spiritual growth and glorification.

May God bless you all!
