As Christians, we implicitly trust the Bible’s account of how the universe came into being. None of us at the Gospel Hall are scientists, but we can see all around us with our own eyes the beauty of the world – and we see within it the mark of an intelligent creator…God.
It is this creator God who has also offered us the way of salvation.
As great as His creation is, His love is far greater. Despite the fact that we are all sinners, God sent His only “beloved Son” Mark 1:11 to this world – here, He lived a sinless life for 33 years among the most sinful of men. At the end of those 33 years, He was crucified at the cross of Calvary. In 3 hours of darkness when He was hanging on the cross, this same creator God poured out all of His anger and hatred for sin on His sinless Son.
When those 3 hours were finished and the wrath of God was exhausted, the Lord Jesus Christ cried “It is FINISHED” (John 19:30), and gave up His own life. Then, 3 days later, to prove to the world that He was satisfied with the work that His Son had completed at Calvary, the Creator God raised the Lord Jesus back to life – He is now in Heaven, sitting “on the right hand of the Majesty on high” Hebrews 1:3
Discarding God from our lives is a dangerous thing to do – the very existence of God gives us something to live for. If there were no God, and nothing after death, then life itself would be completely pointless. But there is a point to life – salvation gives the Christian something to live for – namely trying to please God in a sinful world, and telling others about the Lord Jesus.
