CREATION RELATION

As a Christian, how do you relate to Jesus Christ, your Creator? Of course, you have no problem relating to Jesus as your Savior and Redeemer, because this is constantly being taught by the Church. But have you ever given much thought to the truth that Jesus Christ is also your Creator? Jesus said: "I and my Father are one"(Jn. 10:30), and "he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father" (Jn. 14:9), and John in his gospel says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made" (Jn 1:1-3). These verses could not be any clearer, the Scriptures teach that Jesus Christ is also your Creator.

It is possible to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Redeemer and not relate to Him as your Creator. If this is done (I contend that there are many who do), there would be no humbling experience that comes when the Christian turns direction and control of life over to our Lord Jesus. This type of "Christian" remains in control and direction of his life. It is when the realization floods into your soul that Jesus Christ is also your Creator that you are humbled and become submissive, and the Holy Spirit can then enter and take full command of your life. Your concept of Jesus Christ is incomplete if you do not see Him also as your Creator. You are worshipping another Jesus, in that your concept of Jesus is incomplete. Let me review how this can be true.

This basic truth of Scripture has been negected, overlooked and omitted from Christian teaching for many years to the near elimination of the Church as a power in combatting Satan. Theologians have largely capitulated to the nonsense that evolution is fact and science, when it is only a bad false theory. Theologians have compromised the scriptures until the people no longer can tell what the Church believes or teaches.

If the clergy will not correctly present our Creator's gospel, believe His Scriptures and defend them, then laymen must come forward and proclaim the truth. Almost never have I heard a pastor say that evolution is hogwash. Almost never have I heard a pastor say that an Omniscient Creator would certainly write a revelation that the dumbest of us could easily read and comprehend.

The greatest evidence for the importance of creation is that God placed it in the first verse of Genesis. An evening and a morning is a day (not millions of years). Adam was made from the dust of the earth (no evolution). Eve was made from Adams side (no evolution). Eve was the mother of all living (no evolution). God made the earth before the sun (not from the sun). Six days of creating were involved, and one day of rest (not millions and billions of years).

Though evolution has never scientifically been observed to occur, and though it cannot be demonstrated by experiment, and though no scientific mechanism has ever been discovered whereby it might occur, the entire world in propaganda fashion has been told over and over again that evolution is true, is a proven fact, and is science.

How can we expect our young people to defend the Bible when the Church teaches a mishmash of confusion and uncertainty? Why do "Christians" remain silent to the evolutionary message being proclaimed everywhere in the secular world by failure to realize that the BIG LIE is Satan's strategy to corrupt our Creator's gospel?

We should not expect revival until the Church returns to correctly presenting our Creators gospel, defending all the Scriptures as God has clearly written them.
