Hebrews 11:3
This is a spotlight on the Scriptures. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Hebrews 11:3
Beloved there are two explanations for the cause of this universe. One is speculation, and the other is revelation. By faith Christians accept revelation, and, beloved by faith the world will accept speculation. Speculation has many theories, and many of them have been abandoned.
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, The Word of God, is quick and powerful and sharper than any two–edged sword. The Word of God is more powerful than an atom bomb. Someone has said that atom bombs come in three sizes: “big,” “bigger,” and “where is everybody? The Word of God is even more powerful than that, because the Word of God has the power to transform lives, how do I know that, because my life has been transform.
when you and I come to the Word of God, we either accept or reject God's statement concerning the origin of the universe: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen_1:1). That is revelation. Either you believe God, or you go by speculation.
I want to give you a quotation from The Triumphs of Faith by Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, He said, “Life is to be mastered by faith, and not by doubt; it is to be forevermore illuminated by hope, and not darkened by despair; in all of its activity love is to be practiced in fellowship.”
Beloved God created everything, in all its vastness and complexity. That should encourage us that God may be doing extraordinary things in our lives for our good even when we can’t see what he’s doing. Faith rests upon the Word of God. This is a spotlight on the Scriptures.
