Music, music.
00:00:23.914 --> 00:00:31.649
Hello friend, chaplain, terry Warner, here We'll be starting a new series to this podcast today.
00:00:31.649 --> 00:00:35.649
Why did God create everything?
00:00:35.649 --> 00:00:40.848
It'll be series one and we'll be discussing the reason for creation.
00:00:40.848 --> 00:00:54.052
Man is forced to deal with a face-to-face confrontation with an unexplained creation and is being brought to a realization that he is very involved in this universal plan.
00:00:54.052 --> 00:01:08.510
We can see, however, that the Creator, in other words God, jesus and the Holy Spirit, were all active in creation Colossians 1, 16-, 20, and I'm going to read that to you.
00:01:12.861 --> 00:01:14.248
I'll start in verse 15.
00:01:14.248 --> 00:01:33.049
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, for by him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities.
00:01:33.049 --> 00:01:36.600
All things were created by him and for him.
00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:45.293
He is before all things and in him all things hold together, and he is the head of the body, the church.
00:01:45.293 --> 00:02:12.949
He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have supremacy, for God was pleased to have him in all his fullness dwell in him and, through him, to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood shed on the cross and I might add, for us, praise the Lord.
00:02:12.949 --> 00:02:22.104
The purpose of this creation was so that man would have a suitable environment to which he could live in.
00:02:22.104 --> 00:02:31.153
If we take man out of creation, creation and its resources and its beauty, it has no reason to exist.
00:02:31.153 --> 00:02:40.960
If God created this universe, he then must have had a reason for creating man.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:51.372
Man, being limited to physical laws and not understanding the spiritual laws, has wondered in vain to figure out the reason for his existence, and skepticism has been born out of that.
00:02:51.372 --> 00:03:00.766
Science's first tendency was to become atheistic and materialistic, giving only a mechanical explanation of the universe.
00:03:00.766 --> 00:03:12.944
Due to scientific inventions and progress, many scientists are dwelling into the mysteries and wonders of the creation and have become God conscious.
00:03:12.944 --> 00:03:17.989
They are realizing that behind the creation is an intelligent creator.
00:03:19.698 --> 00:03:31.349
Science is not able to find or discover him with just sense, knowledge, in other words sense obtained from your five physical senses your sight, smell, hear, touch and taste.
00:03:31.349 --> 00:03:34.264
You can't reach God with that.
00:03:34.264 --> 00:03:36.131
God is a spirit.
00:03:36.131 --> 00:03:41.526
We must worship him in spirit and in truth I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
00:03:41.526 --> 00:03:53.454
Man's ability to know God is because God is a spirit and that man has no contact with him other than through spiritual contact.
00:03:53.454 --> 00:03:56.883
And that was severed when Adam sinned in the garden.
00:03:56.883 --> 00:04:02.514
Due to Adam's sin, his spirit inside of him died.
00:04:02.514 --> 00:04:03.817
Inside of Adam died.
00:04:03.817 --> 00:04:08.856
Now a spirit may die, but the spirit does not cease to exist.
00:04:08.856 --> 00:04:14.396
When the spirit of a man dies, the spirit becomes separated from God.
00:04:14.396 --> 00:04:19.036
That's because God is the source of all living period.
00:04:19.036 --> 00:04:35.889
This forces man to experience every contact or reality he will have through his central nervous system and his five senses, since man is interacting with God through sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.
00:04:37.190 --> 00:04:39.516
Man has not been able to contact God.
00:04:39.516 --> 00:04:52.166
He has learned a great deal about his physical nature, which is indifferent and many times cruel toward human life, but has not been able to find God personally or his reason for creating man.
00:04:52.166 --> 00:04:58.538
Because of all this, we can see that man in himself cannot find God.
00:04:58.538 --> 00:05:03.812
God must reveal himself to man and God has done this exact thing.
00:05:03.812 --> 00:05:14.406
God had to give this revelation on man's level so that man would be able to contact it, and it's called revelation knowledge.
00:05:14.406 --> 00:05:18.088
It is obtained through our recreated spirit.
00:05:18.088 --> 00:05:20.711
Notice, I said recreated spirit.
00:05:20.711 --> 00:05:33.762
We cannot contact God through our dead spirit when Adam sinned, because it's separated from God.
00:05:33.762 --> 00:05:38.735
Let me start over and read that and plane that up a little bit.
00:05:38.735 --> 00:05:45.569
God had to give this revelation on man's level so that man would be able to contact it.
00:05:45.569 --> 00:05:48.218
This is called revelation knowledge.
00:05:48.218 --> 00:05:52.408
It is obtained through our recreated spirit, through the word of God.
00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:59.750
When we make Jesus our Lord and Savior, revelation knowledge becomes a reality.
00:06:00.773 --> 00:06:03.497
Let me refer to 1 Corinthians 2.11.
00:06:03.497 --> 00:06:13.220
Let me turn over there right quick, okay.
00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:16.593
1 Corinthians 2.11.
00:06:16.593 --> 00:06:25.797
I'll just back up here to at the middle of verse 10.
00:06:25.797 --> 00:06:29.773
Let me back on up a little more, because this is good.
00:06:29.773 --> 00:06:32.331
Let me back up to verse 6.
00:06:33.505 --> 00:06:42.951
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
00:06:42.951 --> 00:06:51.295
No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
00:06:51.295 --> 00:06:58.495
None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
00:06:58.495 --> 00:07:09.016
However, as it is written, no eye has seen, nor ear has heard, no mind has conceived, but God has prepared for those who love him.
00:07:09.016 --> 00:07:12.446
See, you never know what God's going to do.
00:07:12.446 --> 00:07:13.430
That's the way we look at it.
00:07:13.430 --> 00:07:15.185
His ways are not our ways.
00:07:15.185 --> 00:07:16.689
So you never know what God's going to do.
00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:21.451
Just relax and read the next verse, verse 10.
00:07:21.451 --> 00:07:25.350
But God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.
00:07:25.350 --> 00:07:30.011
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
00:07:30.011 --> 00:07:35.430
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?
00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:40.752
In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
00:07:40.752 --> 00:07:49.709
We have not received the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
00:07:49.709 --> 00:08:02.153
This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truth in spiritual words.
00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:14.163
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
00:08:14.163 --> 00:08:20.096
The spiritual man makes judgments about all things and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
00:08:20.096 --> 00:08:22.601
The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment.
00:08:22.601 --> 00:08:28.509
For who has known the mind of the Lord that we may instruct him, but we have the mind of Christ.
00:08:28.509 --> 00:08:43.145
God's not holding anything back, but if you want to connect with God and you want to connect to living an eternal life, you've got to accept Jesus Christ into your heart and so cement that relationship.
00:08:43.267 --> 00:08:47.105
When you do, spiritual things will be made plain.
00:08:47.105 --> 00:09:03.921
So God, in His desire for man to know Him, has formulated His inner thoughts and purposes into words which man can see with his sense of sight and hear, read or expound on with his sense of hearing.
00:09:03.921 --> 00:09:23.849
But we receive not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God, which things we also speak, not in wisdom of man's word, but which the Spirit of God teaches, combining spirit things with spiritual words.
00:09:23.849 --> 00:09:38.190
The Bible is God's revelation to man, and because we have no other way through which we can know God or contact Him, we turn to the Bible, and that's where we make sense out of all this.
00:09:38.190 --> 00:09:44.852
Next week we'll pick up the next mystery, so to speak.
00:09:44.852 --> 00:09:55.206
We found out why God made the earth and everything it was made for man, to put man on it.
00:09:55.206 --> 00:09:56.971
What's next?
00:09:56.971 --> 00:09:59.485
