Words, Part 1

In the beginning...
This may be the greatest three words that we know. It signifies what a lot of people are trying to understand in this day and age. What is the beginning? When was it? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Is the end of life as we know it now going to end?

People have many questions about the Bible and the very existence of supreme god. Does the Bible really matter? Is it really the Word of God today? Has God become old fashioned, and does the Bible really have anything to do with your life today?

Some people may choose to just ignore what it says because they don't want to change what they are. See Psalm 2: Amp. The people don't want to be under what the Word calls restraint. We have reached in age were people want to be free of all responsibility. 

Are we really responsible to an almighty God for what we do? 
The answer to this question is yes. We are responsible to our Creator for what we do with this life.
Some would say "It's not my fault what Adam did. Why should I be responsible?"
I remember a lady who had AIDS. She obviously didn't know the man she was with had AIDS but still contracted the disease. More over, the child she bore from the union was born with AIDS. Through this one man, both she and the child were doomed to a horrible death.

When Adam committed the first act of treason in the Garden of Eden, even though I wasn't there, the death of his son was transmitted to me and tens of billions of people everywhere. God begin instantly to bring about a cure for this disease called sin and death. Through a man who had the disease and yet lived through it, he could make an antidote that would cure it and restore life. The New Testament is the instructions on how to take the prescription and how it works. There are no side effects of this antidote, and it works 100% of the time. So, yes! The Bible is important in our lives today. If your doctor could come up with a medicine for AIDS that had a 100% cure rate, you would take it faithfully if you had AIDS. Even though not everyone has AIDS, everyone was born with sin. See Romans 3:10-12 Amp. But God sent Jesus to deal with a problem, to stop in its tracks and restore life and right standing with him. Romans 3:21-24 Amp. So, the sin and death problem has been dealt with through Jesus.
Today in the world we live in, words play the most important role of all the things we deal with in our lives. In the first chapter of Genesis, God spoke this world into being. Everything that he spoke came to pass. Today, whether we think about it or not, we are still all governed by words. There is a huge fight in the Government right now about changing the wording in our Constitution. By changing the words, we change a nation. We live by what is said today. 

Words still govern the nations of the world. We have the Constitution, we have the Bill of Rights, we have state rules and words that govern the States.

We have the Geneva Convention to govern the rules of war. Each country has one kind of rule or another that governs all nations. All are just words on paper, but they still rule mankind. 

Why if we write words that can govern our lives here on earth, do we think that the word that governs the universe will have no effect in our lives? Read Heb. 11:3 Amp. by faith in the words that God speaks, we can understand that the words were framed, fashioned and put in place by the word of God. Did you ever get up in the morning and see the sun come up in the west? Did you ever find that the earth was out of orbit and gravity didn't work? Or, better yet! Did you ever see a picture of our planet from outer space? There are no pillars, no cables, no structure to hold it where it is but the words that God spoke in the beginning- and they are still working today.
