Relevant Words of God:
How many creatures are there
living and reproducing in the vast expanse of the universe, following
the law of life over and over, adhering to one constant rule. Those who
die take with them the stories of the living, and those who are living
repeat the same tragic history of those who have died. And so mankind
can’t help but ask itself: Why do we live? And why do we have to die?
Who is in command of this world? And who created this mankind? Was
mankind really created by Mother Nature? Is mankind really in control of
its own fate? … Mankind does not know who is the Sovereign of all
things in the universe, much less does he know the beginning and future
of mankind. Mankind merely lives, perforce, amidst this law. None can
escape it and none can change it, for among all things and in the
heavens there is but One from everlasting to everlasting who holds
sovereignty over everything. He is the One who has never been beheld by
man, the One whom mankind has never known, in whose existence mankind
has never believed, yet He is the One who breathed the breath into
mankind’s ancestors and gave life to mankind. He is the One who supplies
and nourishes mankind for its existence, and guides mankind up to the
present day. Moreover, He and He alone is whom mankind depends on for
its survival. He holds sovereignty over all things and rules all living
beings beneath the universe. He commands the four seasons, and it is He
who calls forth wind, frost, snow, and rain. He gives mankind sunshine
and brings the coming of night. It was He who laid out the heavens and
earth, providing man with mountains, lakes and rivers and all the living
things within them. His deed is everywhere, His power is everywhere,
His wisdom is everywhere, and His authority is everywhere. Each of these
laws and rules is the embodiment of His deed, and every one of them
reveals His wisdom and authority. Who can exempt themselves from His
sovereignty? And who can discharge themselves from His designs? All
things exist beneath His gaze, and moreover, all things live beneath His
sovereignty. His deed and His power leave mankind with no choice but to
acknowledge the fact that He really does exist and holds sovereignty
over all things. No other thing apart from Him can command the universe,
much less can it ceaselessly provide for this mankind.
