Creation - Plantinga

"Creation is neither a necessity nor an accident... Creation is an act of imaginative love." Thinking about God creation, I realized again how powerful and loving God is. There are more than 750,000 species of insects and 250,000 species of plants. Besides that, there is the galaxy which goes beyond our human understanding and knowledge. The galaxy is so complex that people have been trying to learn about it throughout the years, but we still don't know much about it. Last summer, I was able to go snorkeling somewhere in Belize. I was so amazed by what I saw. All those fish and water creatures and plants.. They were all great. God had created all that, and that is how powerful God is. Think about us - the human beings. Isn't it amazing how every single one of us has different features and personalities? Even though we are all the same human beings, God created you unique. That is how much God loves every single one of us. He loved us so much that He actually took His time to make us unique. And among all those other creatures, He created us, the human beings, in His image. That is an honor for me. Being created in the image of the greatest being ever.. That's amazing. We could compare it this way. We hate it when we are compared to any other creature as pigs and chickens, because we tend to think of ourselves as higher status and smarter than those creatures. For God who is so much greater than us, we could have been like any of those creatures that we tend to think of them as dumb and ugly. Yet, He create us in His image. He gave us the privilege to at least resemble a little bit of His image.
Now the question is: What can we do for this awesome God? I guess... All we could do is to praise the Lord and glorify His name. Your mind and your physical body. Use it all to glorify His name. Live your life to glorify His name.

  1. Another thing we can do to praise God is to not think low of His other creations, such as the pig or the chicken. We all do it but I certainly could not make a pig or a chicken. I think some of the things that amaze me the most are the smallest things that God made such as a shrimp or a beetle. They are so complex. Humans are complex as well. The way that God created every organ in our body to work together is incredible. I start to think about it and I get overwhelmed but our God is truly amazing in everything. We just have to remember daily who our creator is and give back everything to Him.
