Creation is a wonder, an enigma, one that points directly to the creator no matter how deep we look. Cells, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, muons, neutrinos, positrons, anti-matter...it doesn't matter how small you go, there is clearly the unique signature of the creator. God has a tendency to do amazing things with the the most unlikely of things. The Bible is full of ordinary people doing extraordinary things through God. Jesus even points to the mustard seed and it's tiny size as a representation of faith and how even that small bit of faith can and does move mountains. I have often been amused at physics. Look at the tremendous amount of power that is released when an atom is split...it can power an entire city or annialate one. The atom is so small, yet so significant in our world today. So where am I going with that? We are called to fear God and keep His commandments, for every deed (every includes big and small), even those done in secret are judged by God. This may sound so harsh, yet at the same time, look at the huge gift that God gave for us by sending Jesus to die on the cross as payment for our sin.
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 ESV)
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourselves—it is the gift of God. (Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians 2:8 TLV)
Ultimately faith in Christ has to start somewhere, even on the tiniest of scales...but God can do HUGE things with even the tiniest of things, it is His specialty...and from there on faith grows and not only will you experience the saving grace of Jesus, you will experience the power of God.
