I was directed by one of my favorite newsletters (Morning Brew — Subscribe for FREE here) to a fascinating page highlighting a photographer’s work focused on ice huts.
Spotting the text immediately below, I was reminded of the ways in which our Creator (see Genesis 1:27) is evidenced by what we see around us.
The photographer sensibly recognizes that the ice huts “imply human form and human desires in a poignant mood of possibility.”
In other words, the mere presence of these structures imply the existence of builders with human form who have desires and mood.
If you think about this for more than two-seconds, you’ll determine that only a fool would assume that these huts just spring up spontaneously every year when the rivers and lakes ice over.
And yet, millions of people make the even more absurd assumption that everything in the universe, both seen and unseen, appeared spontaneously, rather than recognizing the one who created everything ex nihilo (i.e., out of nothing).
To ignore the fact that God created everything is not only foolish, but such a belief comes with severe consequences both in this lifetime and in eternity.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Romans 1:18-25
Today, before it’s too late, I urge you first of all to believe in God the creator, and secondly to believe that God saves those who put their faith in his son Jesus (see Mark 16:16, Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9, and elsewhere).
