REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR
We Can Believe in the God
I welcome you for training courses for The Voice of Holy Spirit sharing with us 42 Lessons and more. Jim once asked an atheist if he ever wrestled, even for a few moments, with the thought that maybe does exist. "Absolutely!" the atheist said, to Jim's surprise. "Years ago when our first child was born I almost became a believer in God. As I looked down at that miniature-but-perfect little human being in the crib, as I watched the flexing of those tiny fingers and saw the dawning of recognition in those little eyes, I went through a period of several months during which I almost ceased to be an atheist. Looking at that child almost convinced me there had to be a God."
EVERYTHING DESIGNED HAS A DESIGNER
The design of the human body demands the existence of a designer. Scientists tell us that the brain stores and remembers thousands of mental images, integrates and solves problems, appreciates beauty, comprehends self, and desires to develop the best in each person. Electrical charges originating from the brain control all the muscular activity of our bodies.
Computers also function through electrical impulses. But it took a human mind to invent the computer and a human being to build the computer and tell it what to do. No wonder the psalmist concluded that the human body speaks loud and clear of a wonderful Creator:
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14. {Unless otherwise noted, all scriptural texts in the DISCOVER guides are from the New International Version of the Bible "NIV".}
We don't have to go far to find the "works" of God. The intricate design of the human brain and the other organs of our body are the "works" of God, and point to an infinitely skillful designer. No pump built by man can compare with the human heart. No computer network can equal our nervous system. No television system is as efficient the human voice, ear, and eye. No central air conditioning and heating system can match the work done by our nose, lungs, and skin. The complexity of the human body suggests that someone designed it, and that someone is God.
The human body is a complete system of organs all interrelated, all thoroughly designed. The lungs and heart, nerves and muscles, all perform incredibly complicated tasks that depend on other incredibly complicated tasks.
If you were to mark ten coins from one to one ten, put them in your pocket, shake them around, and then pull them out and the back in your pocket one by one, what is the likelihood you could do so in exact numerical sequence? By mathematical law you have only one chance in ten billion of tasking them out in order from one to ten.
Now consider the chances of a stomach, brain, heart, liver, arteries, veins, kidney, ears, eyes, and teeth all developing together and beginning to function at the same moment in time. What is the most reasonable explanation for the design of the human body?
"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,'
So God created man in his own image,
Male and female he created them." Genesis 1:26, 27. The first man and woman could not just have happened. The Bible affirms that God designed us in his image. He thought us up and brought us into being.
