The "Book of Creation" Reveals About God

"For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable." 
- Romans 1:20



One of the greatest evidences that there is God is natural creation. We may not see Him, but everything around us, from the heavens above to the depths of the sea, reveals that there is a Creator who designed all these things. Through them, we can "see" Him, along with His cardinal qualities: love, power, wisdom and justice. 

The book of creation highlights many of His qualities as the Universal Sovereign and Loving Father. Reading this book helps us see vividly his appealing personality, which in turn draws us ever closer to Him to the point that He will become our Best Friend who will never fail us.
