Consider the stars. What is more, consider your own consciousness in considering the stars. There is an invisible process going on when it comes to even you reading this post and understanding what the preceding two sentences mean. You understood what I said not as gibberish, (hopefully) but as logical. Yet, logic is not a material process, but immaterial. Welp, there goes naturalism.
“HOW AMAZING IS IT TO THINK THAT OUR CREATOR WROTE A BOOK FOR US?”
Describing what something does is not the same as describing what it is. If someone were to describe what you do throughout the day, they would not be explaining who you truly are. Gravity can be described in terms of what it does, but cannot be explained in terms of what it really is ontologically; that is, its essence. The humbling truth is that we can neither understand something like gravity nor ourselves properly. There are times when I say something and think, “why did I just say that?” There are other times when I want to say something, but I am at a loss for words. Such is life in this fallen world; but, this creation will be redeemed (Romans 8:19-23).
Only God truly knows our being through and through (Psalm 139:1-4) . That is why we must rely upon His Word over and above what we think about ourselves and over what others say about themselves. People may say there is no evidence of a creator. The Bible says that everyone knows God, but the ones who do not believe are suppressing the truth (Romans 1:18-23, and 1 John 5:10-13). There is no neutrality, and we cannot live life as if there is (Luke 11:23).
Consider Adam. Living in the midst of the Garden, would he ever have thought that the world would one day look like this? Yet, there is a purpose in it all. As the late Theologian R.C. Sproul emphasized, there are no maverick molecules. Consider the atom. Positive charges repel, yet they remain highly concentrated in the atomic nucleus in the form of proton particles. How can this be explained?
How can we explain the unexplainable? God tells us through His Word that nobody overcomes the world except the one that believes that Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 5:5). Therefore, apart from God, nothing makes sense. On the contrary, with God and His sovereignty serving as the foundation for our thinking, everything makes sense (John 1:1). That is how the unexplainable is made plain. God’s Word has all the answers; how amazing is it to think that our Creator wrote a Book for us. God’s Word is what makes the condition of our world, our place in it, and where we are going, evident. May the shadows of unexplainability be made plain through the light of God’s Word.
