God is truth

Hebrews 11:³By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Here Paul clearly states what Christians should believe about the creation of the world. Paul took the Bible literally and we should too. What is written in Genesis is truth and we should not try to take that truth and mold it into what we think really happened. To do so, is to warp the Word of God and do the work of the enemy which is deception. Paul clearly states that the universe was created by the word of God, not by a big bang, nor by evolution. Paul says that by faith "we understand" and after that he goes on talking about other people's faith and what promises it brought them. If we do not understand the creation of the world by faith, then we miss the power and promises of God. In essence, we limit Him and prove our disbelief in Him when we try to justify God's word with our own limited logic.

God is so awesome. It takes faith to believe everything in the Bible. It takes faith to believe in Jesus. Although the Bible is 100% truth and therefore, supported by every scientific discovery, every Biblical cross-reference, and every historical fact, humans still doubt the Bible and try to fit it into their own puny mindsets. It blows my mind that with God's word, the whole universe was created! The world is much younger than what our archeologists believe. Although I don't have the evidence to back it up, except for the Bible, I must have faith that God did create the universe with a Word. Do I really believe everything in the Bible? Am I taking the scripture and manipulating it to fit my own understanding? Or, am I allowing God to transform my mind by faith in His Word. God cannot lie. He cannot tell us anything deceiving. It is not possible for Him to tell a lie because His very nature is truth. I place my faith in Christ. I'm in it 100%. I can't be a lukewarm Christian. God tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Truth. Thank You for revealing the truth to us mere mortals. Lord, I ask for the faith to believe in everything You have said, 100%. May I stop trying to fit You into my limited knowledge and take Your Word at full value. Forgive me for my sins. Jesus, thank You for coming to bring completion to the law. Jesus, You are the word of God. Help me to live according to God's word every moment. I pray for Your wisdom, joy, and peace to reside and thrive in my body, mind, and soul. I love You, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
