Who is the image of the invisible God, the first born of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. Colossians 1:15-16
Charles Morris in Days of Praise
states:
Darwin’s theory of evolution challenged the biblical account that our Lord Jesus Christ created all things, speaking everything into existence (Hebrews 11:1-3). Many Christians responded by trying to fit evolution into the Bible. This is done despite the fact that theistic selectionionism—which believes God used natural selection as the driving force behind creatures’ amazing complexity—isn’t found anywhere in Scripture or science, for that matter. As Christians, we shouldn’t compromise or be silent about the doctrine of creation. We can stand with certainty on the authority and authenticity of God’s Word and duly honor Jesus as the Creator and Lord of all.
Some churches today justify not
teaching Jesus’ creation because it is controversial. Taking away the creation
story from Jesus weakens our faith. When I look at the clouds, see the weather
consistently change throughout the seasons, and see plants and flowers grow out
of little seeds, the variety of animals, birds and insects, see the variety in
human beings and watch babies grow, I know God is our creator. He
created each human with a purpose and answers my prayers.
Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, please give
us understanding of your words in Colossians. Thank you for answering my
prayers, creating us, and protecting all my family and friends. Amen
