“Male and female [H]e created them…”

 

Have you ever thought about faces? There are seven point six (7.6) billion persons on the earth today. These persons are from   “…every kindred, and tongue, and people and nation.”  7.6 billion faces and they are all different. I understand there are twins and dopplegangers, but that aside, What does this say about God? The Creator God has infinite creativity.  We do not.  Try to think up a new color, you can’t mix and match, No. Try and come up with a totally new color without using what God has already created.

Try to envision a new type of animal, but you cannot use any of what God has already used. You see?  We are not creators. We are inventors and fabricators, but nothing will ever be truly created. Only God can create some-thing from no-thing.  Only God can do this.  God creates saints out of sinners. That is why we are called a new creation or new creature in Christ. We are His new creation, we are His new creatures in Christ Jesus and that has been dead set from eternity past.   WOW!!! What an amazing and awe-filling God we have.

You want your mind blown? Do you?  Think about this… God chose His elect individual persons; God chose an elect number of people to be peculiar to Himself and Hmself Alone and He did this before the foundation of the world. That’s not the mind blowing thought yet. Let’s walk this through slowly so to enjoy it that much more, Reader.

Since God chose individual persons to be saved, those persons must be complete in themselves.  The elect individual has to be that certain person, in God’s Mind, and for whom Christ would die for. Christ did not die for a nameless, faceless mass of persons. No, not in any way. Christ died, Christ gave Himself for certain elect persons that He had made peculiar to Himself.  I know, Reader, this is not what you have been taught, but this is Scripture. The God of the Bible is an electing God. He is a God Who does as He pleases.

Now here comes the mind blowing part. As the above is true, You had to be specifically you for Christ to save you….you had to be you, your sins had to be your specific sins… for Christ to Propitiate the Holiness and Righteousness of God. Here it is, Reader,  For you to be you, sins and all, your parents had to be who they are too. And for your parents to be who they are to birth you, then their parents had to be who they were. Is this not marvelous? The Mind of God is infinite. Christ gave Himself for specific, certain, chosen, and elected YOU.

With all that said, we recently rode the rails from Mississippi to Chicago. I sat next to a believer that was a mirror image of myself. Not in looks or even in gender, but she lived a life for a while that matched up to mine. The parallels were uncanny. She was blest by my life likeness, as well as I was.  It was an appointment made by God to be sure. I cannot put into words the sameness she and I experienced.  It was of God. However, we were different in all others ways. She is a black woman and I am a white man. But we meshed well together.  I trust she’ll be reading this and if so, Hey, Roxie. You were a great blessing to one of God’s ministers.

God is a Creator God. His Creativity is endless. And God, I have deduced, loves variety and singularity as well as uniqueness.  Samson was a Judge and he was a Nazarite. Being a Nazarite, Samson’s head must not be shaved. But then we have Elisha who is a prophet and he is bald.  Variety. Our God does His works in ways only He could do and it is always different from what might have been expected.

God is Creative in all ways.

Godspeed.
