Creations Reveals God

Creations Reveals God.
According to Paul, God has provided sufficient insight into His eternal power and divine
attributes through creation so that no one can be excused for missing His existence.
God creates the whole world for us, to support us in life and reveals Himself to us through His
handiwork. “Since the creation of the world
Natural signs
The Bible testifies that "nature" or "creation" gives clear testimony to God's existence. Everyone,
everywhere, has this testimony. Natural revelation is more than sufficient to make humanity responsible
and to show them they are "without excuse." Consequently humans should attempt to find out who this
Creator is and what He requires of them. Unfortunately, many people have corrupted the revelation of
God in nature and have chosen to worship and serve the creation rather than the Creator. Instead of
worshipping the Creator, they have turned creation into a god. For this, God has pronounced judgment
upon them.
Our natural environment doesn't just teach us about Creation in an academic sense, although it
can. It leads us towards an appreciation of God's glory. It can help us nurture the fruits of the spirit. The
sense of wonder that nature sparks can inspire personal dedication to God.
In scripture, through salvation history
, God would gradually reveal himself and, through a chosen people, progressively prepare
mankind for Christ, his Gospel, and the Church, which are prefigured in this history.
The natural consequence of sin, of turning away from God who is the source of life, is death.
Biblical Signs
The Bible is a book about God and His relationship with human beings. The Scriptures contain a
long history of God's revelation of Himself to man—from the first man Adam to the prophet and
lawgiver Moses down through the apostles of Jesus Christ and the early Church.
the Bible communicates a true picture of God. This remarkable book reveals what He is like,
what He has done and what He expects of us.
It tells us why we are here and reveals His little-understood plan for His creation.
This handbook of basic knowledge is fundamentally different from any other source of
information. It is genuinely unique because it contains, in many ways, the very signature of the Almighty.
The Creator tells us in His Word, "I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me,
declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My
counsel shall stand . . .'" (Isaiah 46:9-10). He tells us that He alone not only foretells the future but can
bring it to pass. What a powerful testimony to the mighty God of the Bible!
In the church
The preaches of jesus didn't stop, it passes through the apostles and now pastors preaches it in
churches. In the churches they gather all the poeple and pastors preach sharing the good news of Jesus
Christ would be proclaimed and spread to the ends of the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In this way the Church in her doctrine, life and worship, perpetuates and transmits to every
generation all that she herself is, all that she believes” (DV 8; cf. CCC 77-79). PCP II summarizes this by
stating that Sacred Scripture and the living tradition of the Church transmit to us the teachings of Jesus”
(PCP II 65).
Liturgical/ecclesial signs
God continues to manifest Himself today through the Holy Spirit in the Church. He is presnt in
the church in the scriptures, loving services, and also the celebration of its christ- given sacraments. But
in addition to having faith, it is likewise necessary to act on our belief that God reveals himself through
these liturgical signs. Take, for instance, his presence in the word. The “born-again” and fundamentalism
mantra that “Catholicism does not preach the Bible but its human traditions” is utterly false.
In other religions.
The three religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam readily fit the definition of monotheism,
which is to worship one god while denying the existence of other gods. But, the relationship of the three
religions is closer than that: They claim to worship the same god.
Revelation, in religion, the disclosure of divine or sacred reality or purpose to humanity. In the
religious view, such disclosure may come through mystical insights, historical events, or spiritual
experiences that transform the lives of individuals and groups.
