I. Who? The Author of Creation "God"
II. How? The Manner of Creation "created"
III. What? The Object of Creation "the heaven and earth"
IV. Why? The Purpose of Creation, Romans 11:36
1. Who made you? God
2. What else did God make? God made all things.
3. Why did God make you and all things? For his own glory.
4. How can you glorify God? By loving him and doing what he commands.
5. Why ought you to glorify God? Because he made me and takes care of
me.
Our problem as humans is that although we “ought to glorify God” because
He made and takes care of us, we have rebelled against Him and sought
to live our own life our own way. Sometimes we’re defiant, but most of
the time we just ignore God and His Word.
Because of our rebellion, God has promised to judge us. Heb. 9:27 says,
“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes
judgment.” One day, we will face God for our rebellion unless we submit
to Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. While Jesus lived on earth, He
never rebelled against God, yet He died on an old rugged cross.
Why did Jesus die? 1 Peter 3:18 says: “For Christ also suffered once for
sins, the righteous for the
unrighteous, that he might bring us to God,”
Jesus died for our sins, if we repent of our sins and trust in what He
has done on the cross for us.
So what will you do? Will you continue to rebel against God or will you
submit to Christ as your Ruler
and trust in His sacrifice for the payment for your sins? There are only
two ways! Your way ends in eternal death! His way ends in eternal life!
“Choose you this day whom you will serve!”
