The odds of the first protein coming into existence, randomly finding and attaching itself to the first cell (a process essential for any life to exist) is 10 to the power of 161. Almost sound possible, doesn't it? Lets look at those numbers statistically. Count for every atom in our universe, another ten universes. Then count the atoms in each one of those universes. Add them up together and you have your answer. Scientist rule such odds of this miracle happening as impossible. Yet atheists/evolutionists claim that is exactly how inanimate chemicals, in a sort of warm soupy pond, formed itself into proteins and cells which somehow found each other and became the first living forms of existence. Creationists are mocked for not accepting their "scientific" conlusions and therefor are considered illogical and unscientific for believing that the orderly creation around us was built intelligently. Their sort of thinking has led me to the conclusion that I can never become an atheist. Why? I don't have THAT much faith. I believe that atheists simply dismiss belief in God and by doing so confine themselves to the belief that life is a meaningless cul-de-sac. Though Richard Dawkins argues for meaninglessness from his scientific perspective, there is something unacceptable and unconvincing about what he says. He places more value in a piece of paper than a human being, because it was made for a reason, unlike men and women. GRACE We are in such debt to God and yet if we accept Him, we will owe Him nothing but love. If we reject Him, we will pay for everything on our own. He gave His life for us on a cross so that we can be forgiven. We can have a close and personal relationship with Him and we can have eternal life. All our sins can be forgiven, no matter what they are. I experienced the Holy Spirit convicting me of my sin. When the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sins, we realise for the first time in our lives that we are an enemy of God! We have personally offended Him every day of our lives by breaking His laws - the 10 commandments. We realise the deadly sinful state we are in before God and our desperate need to repent. There is NOTHING we can do to merit His salvation, even our own goodness falls far short of the mark. We cannot beg Him or twist His arm to overlook our sins and let us into Heaven. He will not even look in our direction or even hear our cries because we are sinners and oppsed to Him. We realise for the first time that hell was made for people just like us. The sin that we thought so lightly of, suddenly becomes the deadly cancer of our bones. We are unable to seperate it from ourselves, like a heavy weight dragging us into the deep even to hell. Death becomes a horror because we know what will come next, the irreversable trip to hell for all eternity. The message of the cross stops being foolish, the weight of all our sins crushes us, the realisation of ACTUALLY going to hell forever fills us with fear. Sin has finally been revealed to us. God has provided the only way of being saved and that is by His Son, Jesus. For the first time in our lives we RUN -to the cross. At that cross and ONLY at that cross God forgives us and cleanse us. He gives us His very own righteousness and grants us eternal life as a FREE GIFT. For the first time in our lives we experience GRACE (which is AMAZING) in our lives and understand the real meaning why Jesus came to die on the cross. He came to save us from our sins and its deadly consequences. We will not have earned it nor would we have deserved it. GOD does NOT even owe it to us. It is simply His ACT OF LOVE. Don Francisco,a truly talented musician and a man of God, and his music can be found at rockymountainministries dot org. He has done an excellent job compiling the message from God in the Bible with passages regarding GRACE. I have put together a very simple video as not to distract you from the wonderful words from God. ENJOY.
