God is uncreated. He was not created. He has no origin. If you think God comes from something else, then where does that entity come from and you find yourself going down a rabbit hole that never ends. But with God it ends with Him. There is nothing more than Him. He doesn’t rely and anyone else. No one created Him. He is self-existent.
We will bring God down to our level so we can manage our understanding of Him. God doesn’t account to us for who He is. He is responsible to no one. He is self-existent, self-dependent, and self-sufficient. He is not a part of creation, time or space. Her created them and is independent of them.
You were created in the image of God. You cannot know your purpose for being born apart from knowing the God who created you. If you want to know your purpose, know your creator.
Jer 32:17 – Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. Is 42:5 – This is what God the Lord says, the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out, who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it. Who gives breath to its people and life to those who walk on it.
God as Creator comes from Gen 1:1. God created the heavens and the earth. He created the world in six days. And He looked at all He created and it was good. God says to Job 41:11, “Who is it that has a claim against me?” “Everything under the heaven belongs to me.” If you create something it belongs to you, the universe belongs to God.
Jesus is a critical component of creation. John 1 – Jesus was the Word. All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made. Paul says – For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, dominions, powers or principalities, all things were created by Him and for Him and He is before all things and by Him all things exist
Phil 2:6-8 – Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped but made himself nothing—taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled Himself and became obedient to death on a cross. Jesus came as a human to save us from our sins.
There are spiritual truths built into creation. When God created lamb and sheep, it was intentional. One of Jesus’ names is He is the Lamb of God. He is the final sacrifice. Jesus came to do the Father’s will, to lay down His life, and then to take it up again. A speaker once said, “Did God pause when He created blood, knowing His Son would have to shed it in order to save the world?”
Science is created by God and shows the order of things. Science is good. When you want to understand the order of creation, you go to science. Science shows how consistent God is in His creation and scientists can measure it. But when you want to know right from wrong and what is good and what is evil, you don’t go to science. It gives no moral code. Science is science and it is not wise to base a religion on science because it is limited. Science is only a part of creation.
God created people with all kinds of personalities, passions, talents, and gifts to make things work in His created world. We were all created with a certain personality for a certain purpose. Nothing is created randomly. You will not be content until you are doing what you were created to do. God loves you and all His creation.
