There have been many times I have
heard people ask, “Where did GOD come from”. In most cases, it is
someone who is anti GOD. Sometimes, it is just a finite human asking
about something that her/his mind cannot comprehend; an eternally
existent being.
Suppose you were to design
a new super computer. In it, you put many new designs and many new
programs. In it, people can see your work and it has your signature
way of doing design. Some would be amazed at your work, others would
criticize the design because it is not how they would have done it.
Still others would copy your work, with their design changes, and
claim it as their own. In all this, you would necessarily have to
exist outside of the computer you are designing. Even though your
fingerprints are all over it, you are outside of it. So it is with
GOD.
In order for GOD to create
time and space and matter, GOD would have to exist outside of time
and space and matter. HE would have to have an existence that is
foreign and completely different from that which HE created. Even
though you would clearly see HIS fingerprints within the design, a
consistency of style or a reflection of the extraordinary, you could
never find GOD in the space or matter or the time HE created. Since
the human mind is restricted by the creation of GOD, GOD could never
be found by such a restricted being.
The GOD of creation, the
GOD of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and JESUS the CHRIST exists outside of
time and space. HE is infinite in power, position, and presence. HE
is in the beginning and the end at the same time. The Alpha and
Omega, beginning and the end.
Man, in all his efforts,
cannot find GOD within the realm of HIS creation. GOD cannot be found by using that which HE created. GOD must rather
choose to reveal Himself to man. Because GOD is spirit, it is
necessary that GOD establish within a man a living spirit that can
know GOD, and be known of GOD. JESUS called this being “Born
again”.
The carnal man, the man
born of the flesh and within the confines of the creation of GOD,
cannot in and of himself, know GOD. 1 Corinthians 2:14
But the
natural man
receiveth not
the things
of the
Spirit of
God: for
they are
foolishness unto
him: neither
can he
know them,
because they
are spiritually
discerned. It
is, therefore, incumbent upon GOD to make Himself known to those whom
HE chooses to make Himself known. As it is written, HE will have
mercy on whom he will have mercy.
In
order to know GOD, you must be born again. That which is flesh is
born of the flesh. That which is spirit is born of the SPIRIT. The
first birth is to be born into a physical and fallen world, in a
fallen and lifeless spiritual state. The second birth is to be born
of the Spirit into a state of salvation and renewal. To be born again
is to be given a new, living spiritual existence that can know the
GOD of creation who exists outside of our ability to perceive HIM in
the physical world.
Yet,
our scientists have proven time and again that only GOD can have
created this universe. Every attempt to prove otherwise has failed
and is followed by, “We just haven't found the proof yet”. A
blind belief that the world and all that is in this creation could
exist without a creator, makes them willing to believe it without
proof, on the premise that the proof just isn't found yet. Yes, more
and more discoveries are found every day. All of them adding more
questions and giving no real answers, except to prove that the GOD of
creation is real and you can see HIS fingerprints of all HE has made.
