You Are Not The Highest Evolved Animal! You Are A Special Creation Of God!
Titus 2:11 (NIV)
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
Jesus Christ came into this world to offer salvation to everyone! All that is required is for any person is for them to believe what the Bible plainly teaches about this good news plan. However, most people have already come to believe other stories some human being has devised in their feeble mind. Amazingly, more people will accept as The Truth any story devised by some member of mankind than to believe the written accounts given to us through God’s Word.
God allows Satan to wonder to and fro on this earth and to influence mankind to believe almost anything else instead of believing God’s Word. It makes some of us wonder why Satan and his demons are allowed to freely wander around this earth and influence the thinking of members of mankind whom Jesus created to inhabit this earth? Some people believe we need these temptations so we can overcome them as proof of our belief in Jesus Christ as the Savor of this world. What do you think about this conundrum?
According to the book of Titus all members of mankind are being offered salvation through the grace of God. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you. (Titus 2:11-15).
Jesus Christ came into this world “to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.“ Do you feel as though coming to know Jesus has caused you to become purified and “eager to do what is good.“ True followers of Jesus Christ will be immediately changed, born again, into a new perspective on life! Are you a professing Christian? Then you should recall that your thoughts of how to conduct yourself changed when you started to try and become more Christ-like every day! So, it is true your perspective has improved so that you now seek to do better, and to try and serve other people through your belief in Jesus!
Paul wrote about these positive changes that happened when you were born again into Christ Jesus! For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:13-17). Your existence is no accident, God planned for your life and put into motion your deliverance into this cursed world before your birth into this world.
James wrote about how we should conduct ourselves if we consider we are following the religion created by Jesus Christ in this cursed world. If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:26-27). Showing the effects on your thoughts in this world is or should be improved by the religion you profess and try to follow.
I think we see this effect that following Jesus Christ has made, when we observe some catastrophe such as flooding, or storm damage, then people come into such areas to try and help those who live there. It seems most of the people who come in to help are people who profess to be a Christian or a Christin organization. This is evidence of Christians following the implied writing of James about how followers of Jesus Christ should desire to act in this world.
Members of mankind have tried to tell us that everything we see in this world came about on its own volition through random chance processes, which therefore do not require any miraculous events controlled by Jesus Christ or any other god or gods. Of course, here the reference is to the theory of evolution, which is being crammed down the throats of our children in all our public education programs.
What is amazing and is just one thing that goes against this idea of creation without God, is the fact that none of us, or the animals, or plants living on this earth today could not exist without some creatures that cannot be seen with the human eyes. These creatures are known as bacteria! Without them infesting every living creature and plant nothing alive could exist. Humans could not digest the food we eat without millions of bacteria living in our stomach.
The soil on this earth is infested with bacteria and is thus absorbed by plants and animals, and taken into us when we eat these plants or animals. In the creation story we are told that Jesus took this dirt and created all the animals and Adam. The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7). God allowed Adam to name the animals He had created from the dirt of the new earth. Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. (Genesis 2:19).
Therefore, we are from this earth and of this earth. Remember, that the universe was not created until day four of the creation week. Therefore, we do not come from stardust as evolutionists teach, but we are part of this earth which was created first. The final creation was a special creation of mankind. We read about how God created us in His image and likeness! We are not the highest evolved animal We are the special creation of God! So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27).
Since mankind is a special creation, God hates it when another of His special creation murders someone. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man. (Genesis 9:6). This is where we received the capital punishment rule from God. Which says our court systems should put to death a person who commits certain crimes.
