The wisdom of God is so far above man, it is on a different level altogether. Our intelligence, even at its best, is so small. God compares it to the distance of the earth from the heavens, such a vast span, it cannot be measured. We think that science in all its Glory can solve all the problems we have in the world, but we do not understand that man’s biggest problem is not physical, but it is one that is spiritual.
What is man’s spiritual problem? We have broken the law of God and in turn, we are separated from Him and now we want to become God. We look at science as something to replace God, we even start to question the existence of God. We ask, if there is a good God out there, why are so many problems in the world, why are people dying, starving and suffering in all manner of ways? We cannot understand the things of God unless it Is revealed to us through His word.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9
We are now suffering from a “blame God†syndrome, we blame God for everything. God must be evil, because He allows man to suffer; He allows natural disasters to occur so He must be evil. Some go as far as to say, God knew man would sin, so He is like a delinquent mother to have left Adam and Eve in the garden. We question the wisdom of God. We then turn to atheistic views and evolutionary science to solve our philosophical problems, but at the end we find only death. Here is what one atheist said:
“As for me, I reckon that when my body dies and my brain is dead, that’s it. And I have no desire to live forever. Doing what? I’m okay with oblivion, so this life means a lot to me, for I don’t have an afterlife.” –kaypee
This is what we must all realize, we live in a sin, sick, fallen world and our biggest problem is sin, everything that we see or experience is a result of our abandonment of God. The more we shut God out of our lives, is the darker (absence of light) this world becomes.
God has a simple plan of salvation, which sometimes seems too simple for us to accept. He has given us a way out through the death of Jesus on the cross; He planned it before he created this world for us to live, but we must have faith and total trust in Him.
God chose Him (Jesus) as your ransom long before the world began, but He has now revealed Him to you in these last days. 1 Peter 1:20
Science, Evolution, Religious Rituals, Philosophy and Psychology will not and cannot save us from sin and its penalty, which is death. We must come to a point in our lives where we realize that we are sinners and we need to declare that realization before God, repent and turn away from sin into a new life with Christ. When you hear His voice, don’t harden your heart, but realize that He love you so much that He will never stop chasing after you.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,†and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:19
