“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” John 12:1-4
In the beginning, was the
word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God. All praises and
adoration and honour and worship belong to God the creator of heaven and earth.
“ Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the father of spirits and
live? Hebrew 12:9.
We should love Him, honour
Him and serve Him alone. We should worship Him and pay close attention to His
words in order to obey them in every detail, esteeming Him and considering Him
alone worthy of being worship.
The amazing fact about the
creation is that God needed to say just three words! “Let there be” and it was
there immediately. Isn’t that great?
Now in the time of the
new covenant, God is again in the process of creating something new. This time,
it is something new in us. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation. 2 Cor 5:17.
Yet, instead of
obeying Him, serving, praising and worshipping Him, most people do what is
written in Roman 1:25, “ who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worship
all kinds of created things like intelligence, beauty, wealth, accomplishments
and talents, instead of honouring or worshipping God. Consequently, they are
prone to things like idolising people, jealousy, sexual immorality, pride,
un-thankfulness and much more.
If only we were to see
higher than all these created things to the creator of all things, we would see
that the only value and meaning in all of these things is such as can be used
for God’s glory.
