| 1 | Providential Work of the Creator! | Gen 1:15 | DocTrinsograce | 243977 | ||
| "Secondly, it is notable that the very first creative act we read of in the Bible is God's creation of light (Gen. 1). Remarkable! Why? Because as we discussed above, the central constant in our cosmos is this very creature! No matter where you are, no matter how fast you move, no matter when you observe it, light moves at a constant speed. And as such, though we do not read that time was God's first creation, He in effect made that creature too when he fashioned light as His first creature. And so, while Einstein's work may have pointed to the primacy of light as a constant, it was our heavenly Father who fashioned it to be His standard for the physical laws governing the creation. A mere coincidence, says the scoffer. No, say we, a providential work of the Creator! "In the third place, I would point out that God’s omnipotence over time is not only key to our understanding His creative power, but also to understanding the possibility of the cross. It was there that our Lord Jesus Christ suffered for sin, conquering it completely and atoning for sin such that we may have fellowship with God. But the puzzling thing about that atonement is that our Lord accomplished it in the space of just three hours. Stop and think about that. Complete atonement for an eternity of punishment for sin—in just three hours. No mere man could do this, regardless of his perfection, because no man could bear eternity in the space of time, regardless of its length. But we confess that Christ is not only man; He is God incarnate! As fully divine, He was able to bear an eternity's worth of suffering for all His people, compressed into a temporal space of three hours. No man could do this; but 'with God nothing shall be impossible.' (Luke 1:37)." -- Dr. Brendan Looyenga (2016) |
