Grace of My Life

Whenever I heard the book of Genesis the first few words that resound in my head is merely the phrase, “In the beginning, God created the world.” I know for a fact that he created everything and all that we are enjoying now is the fruit of His labour way back thousands of years ago. But at this point, I purely understand this condition that it was not just simply creation, but also His work proceeds in an orderly fashion with an overall purpose. In creation, God caused which was void to take on form, pattern and law. So it was by His word the sky strokes the air, the valleys curved, the mountain stood up high, the ocean touches the shore, and the heaven opens as the sun gives light. It is truly amazing to know that the One who holds my heart is also the Author of them all! The world was formed and breathed us life. He had proven the kind of love that accurately satisfied. As the formless chaos was changed into final product of creation, God introduced multiplicity and order. I see that there is no word has failed, not even a single one, so he declared that it was all good.

It is evident in the Bible that God is so mindful of the relationship that he builds among his creation, which in spite of our disobedience love and acceptance is still present. He underlines the key role of the heart in Christian life and thought, because by nature the heart is wicked and evil. In view of the fact that Adam as the first human being to whom the dominion over all creation was entrusted yet violated the standard of right gave them and suffered a sense of guilt and shame. Therefore, as the world moves into progress and get pleasure from all the goodness which God has accumulated. There are still tendencies for a man to go beyond the design and capacity which God was intended for so this may results to damage and disorder.

On the other hand, I came to realized that our identity is also intimately created with the natural things around us. In the path of our obedience we can fully experience the blessing of God in our lives. Where a man that was created  into the very image of his Creator, will get close to the statement that the hands of the one who formed the universe must have to be hold and accepted by his creation because that  hand can perfectly supplies the deepest thirst of one’s soul.

Through this earnest discussion of Genesis, I therefore, see how active not just the hands of God but also the righteousness of his heart by exposing me to the beauty of his grace. It is quite to know that grace is seriously mentioned and sincerely showcased in the New Testament through Christ, but after I have given this chance to fully grasp my beginning and the origin of the things around me. I have to say that His grace stands-out even before creation and during its building process, by allowing us to see the kind of order he demonstrated through the splendour and perfection of His works, even after he made heaven and earth, his grace continues, and I also have to consider that before the law, covenant, doctrines, teachings and even before the arrival of His son, the grace of God has covered all uncertainties.
